relative frequency view

Let u be the frequency of a wave. That is, the number of vibrations completed by a particle in one second is u . Time taken to complete u vibrations = 1 second. . But time taken to complete one vibration is defined as the time period of the wa..

Which of the following statement(s) is/are false? I. Data such as blood types (A, B, AB, O) can be organised into a categorical frequency distribution. II. Except for rounding errors, relative frequencies should add up to 100. III. A statistical device used in explorat..

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 ..

Phon - Another Unit of Loudness - 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 relati..

How do We See Colors? - The retina of our eye is composed of light sensitive cells. Light sensitive cells are of two types namely, rods and cones. There are three types of cones., those that are stimulated by low frequencies, those stimulated by intermediate frequencies and thos..

De-Broglie noted that according to the theory of relativity, the role played by momentum 'P' and the energy 'E' of the particle is done by angular frequency ' w ' and the propagation vector 'k' of a wav..

It is that characteristic of a musical sound which enables us to distinguish between the sounds produced by two different musical instruments or two different persons although their pitch and loudness may be same. It is because of this characteristic that we are able to recognize the voice of a kn..

In view of new discoveries about atoms, Dalton's atomic theory was modified as given below: * Atom is no longer indivisible as it has a complex structure of sub atomic particles (electrons, protons and neutrons). * Atoms of the same element may posses different relati..

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) Amplitude is the maximum displac..

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, which consists of particle..
