Chapter 7, Problem 10E
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Signification of the MHz dial on the radio is to be explained.
Concept introduction:
Frequency is the number of rays or beams that pass through a fixed point at a given time.
Radio waves are the waves or radiation with frequencies as high as
The technology used to carry information like sounds and images with the help of radio waves by systematic modulation is called radio.
The distance between two consecutive crests of a wave of light is called the wavelength.

You are building a pipe organ for a fancy
opera theatre. Each pipe is open at one
end and closed at the other. The air in the
theatre is kept at 15 degrees Celsius. You
want a particular pipe's fundamental
frequency to be a high "C" note, with a
frequency of 4186.009 Hz. How long must
this pipe be in order to play the correct
note?
