1. Firmly hold with one hand the end of a ruler over the edge of a table. Pull the other end down gently and listen to the sound. Then give the ruler a harder downward pull, and see if there is a difference in sound. Describe what you hear and explain the
difference using the terms "energy," "amplitude." "intensity," and "decibel."
2. Take some time to listen to sounds in your environment. Make a list of ten sounds, ranking them from the highest pitch to the
lowest. Write a couple of sentences describing whether this was easy or difficult and why. (Some of the sounds can come from
tapping objects that vibrate or playing musical notes on an instrument.)

Suppose that an electromagnetic wave which is linearly polarized along the x−axis is propagating in vacuum along the z−axis. the wave is incident on a conductor which is placed at z > 0 region of the space. the conductor has conductivity σ, magnetic permeability µ and electric permittivity ε. (a) find the characteristic time for the free charge density which dissipates at the conductor. (b) write the maxwell equations and derive the wave equation for a plane wave propagating in a conductor. (c) find the attenuation distance at which the incident amplitude reduces to e ^−1 of its initial value. (d) find the electric and magnetic fields inside the conductor. 8 (e) find the power loss per area of the incident electromagnetic wave at the surface of conductor.

The electronic structure or chlorine is 2.8.7 what is the electronic structure of fluorine?

Point charges q1 = 51 µc and q2 = −27 µc are placed 1.0 m apart, with q2 on the right. what is the force (in n) on a third charge q3 = 19 µc placed midway between q1 and q2? (assume the positive direction is to the right. indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.)
