cumulative relative frequency

Whenever there is a relative motion between a source of light and the observer, the apparent frequency of light received by the observer is different from the true frequency of light emitted actually from the source of ligh..

(i) We plot the points with coordinates having abscissae as actual lower limits and ordinates as the cumulative frequencies, (70.5, 2), (60.5, 7), (50.5, 13), (40.5, 23), (30.5, 37), (20.5, 49), (10.5, 57), (0.5, 60) are the coordinates of the points. (ii) Join the points by a ..

As the threshold of audibility varies with frequency, sounds of the same intensity but different frequencies are found to differ in loudness. Therefore, another unit of loudness is defined. This unit measures the intensity of a sound relative to a reference tone of def..

A chromosome map is a graphic representation of a linkage group in the form of a line which shows by points the sequence of the genes and the relative distance between the genes it contains. A chromosomes map is also called a linkage map or genetic map. Since the frequency of cr..

Let a stationary observer on a platform listen to the sound emitted by the whistle of an incoming train. As the train approaches the platform, an increase in the pitch of the sound will be observed. As the engine moves away from him, there will be a decrease in the pitch of the sound. The same effe..

Doppler Effect - Let a stationary observer on a platform listen to the sound emitted by the whistle of an incoming train. As the train approaches the platform, an increase in the pitch of the sound will be observed. As the engine moves away from him, there will be a decrease in the pitch of the sou..

It is that characteristic of a musical sound by which a shrill sound can be distinguished from a grave one, even though the two sounds may be of the same intensity. It is also defined as that characteristic of sound by which the ear assigns it a place on a musical scale. When a stretched string is..

Basic Terms Connected to Waves - The four important terms used in the study of waves are Wavelength, Amplitude, Frequency and Wave velocity. Wavelength ' l ' is the distance between two consecutive points on the wave which are in the same phase. (same phase means same state of vibrations)..

Wave Nature of Particles - The suggestion that matter may have wave like properties was first put forwarded in 1924-1925 by Louis De Broglie. He argued that if light, which consists of waves according to classical picture, can sometimes behave like particles, then it should be possible for matter, ..

Question: Define the terms velocity and wavelength applied to sound wave and state the relation between velocity, frequency and wavelength. Answer: The distance traveled by a wave in one second is its velocity. The distance traveled by the wave when it completes one ..
