The planet has an atmosphere of an unknown gas. In your preparation for the mission you prepared the following table, a resonance tube and a sonic device that can produce three frequencies: 261HZ, 330HZ and 512HZ.

Remembering the valuable learning experience you had in your class Science and Technology in the Arts, you need to determine the gas of the atmosphere on the planet Martech. When rushing to implement the experiment, you used the sonic device to produce the three frequencies above the resonance tube, but recorded only the length of the resonance tube that produced the first maximum intensity for each one of them without recording the frequency of the sonic…arrow_forwardThe coldest and hottest temperatures ever recorded in Switzerland are -43.2 F (231 k) and 106.7 F (315 k) respectively.
