Cavity Density Standing waves Waves

AI Thread Summary

The density of standing waves in a cavity is described by the formula G(f)df = (8πf²/c³)df, which raises questions about its relevance to wave density. Some participants express confusion over the formula's appearance and its connection to density concepts. Clarifications indicate that adjustments to the formula can reveal its relationship to density more clearly. The discussion emphasizes the need for a deeper understanding of the formula's derivation and implications. Overall, participants seek to reconcile the formula with conventional density definitions in wave mechanics.

Why is the density of standing waves in a cavity
G(f)df=((8*pi*f^2)/(c^3))*df?
Also that formula looks weird... doesn't look like it has anything to do with density...

Thread 'Power of a thin lens in a medium is 1/fₘ or μₘ/fₘ ?'

Here is what I tried This question was actually asked in one of our engineering entrances. The answer was 1D. My teachers say that we have to use μₘ/fₘ to get to this answer. I cannot understand why. I'll be really glad if you could tell me the exact definition of power (numerically) that works in all scenarios.

Thread 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'

TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...

Thread 'Correct statement about a reservoir with an outlet pipe'

The answer to this question is statements (ii) and (iv) are correct. (i) This is FALSE because the speed of water in the tap is greater than speed at the water surface (ii) I don't even understand this statement. What does the "seal" part have to do with water flowing out? Won't the water still flow out through the tap until the tank is empty whether the reservoir is sealed or not? (iii) In my opinion, this statement would be correct. Increasing the gravitational potential energy of the...
