Which of the following have quantized values? Explain your selections. a. the pitch of a note played on a slide trombone b. the pitch of a note played on a flute c. the wavelengths of light produced by the heating elements in a toaster d. the wind speed at the top of Mt. Everest

Respuesta :

Answer:

Option b and c

Explanation:

Quantized values are discrete in nature and are not continuous.

These values can be expressed as integral multiples or integers.

Therefore,

  • The pitch of notes played on trombone are of continuous form and are not quantized.
  • The pitch of the notes that are played on a flute are dependent on the number of open and closed holes on the instrument, clearly discrete in nature thus quantized.
  • The wavelength of light is produced as a result of transition of electron in between energy levels which occurs in discrete steps thus quantized.
  • The wind speed at Mt. Everest's top is continuous and thus not quantized.
