** 10. Two springs of different mass densities are fastened end-to-end. The spring on the lefthas the greater mass density. Two identical pulses are initiated 10 cm apart on the far left andare traveling toward the boundary as shown. Consider the situation after both pulses havepassed the boundary and entered the new section.10 cma) In which spring, left or right, do the pulses travel faster?b) Will the separation between the transmitted pulses on the right spring be less than,equal to, or greater than 10 cm? Explain your reasoning.c) Will the reflected pulses (left spring) be on the top or the bottom of the spring?Explain.

Three adjacent keys on a piano (F, F—sharp, and G) are stuck simultaneously, producing frequencies of 349, 370, and 392 Hz. What beat frequencies are produced by this discordant combination?
A train is moving past a crossing where cars are waiting for it to pass. While waiting, the driver of the lead car becomes sleepy and rests his head on the steering wheel, unintentionally activating the cars horn. A passenger in the back of the train hears the horns sound at a frequency of 428 Hz and a passenger in the front hears it at 402 Hz. Find (a) the trains speed and (b) the horns frequency, assuming the sound travels along the tracks.
A wave traveling on a Slinky® mat is stretched to 4 m takes 2.4 s to travel the length at me Slinky and back again. (a) What is the speed of the wave? (b) Using the same Slinky stretched to the same length, a standing wave is created which consists of three antinodes and four nodes. At what frequency must the Slinky be oscillating?
A hammer strikes one end of a thick steel rail of length 8.50 m. A microphone located at the opposite end of the rail detects two pulses of sound, one that travels through the air and a longitudinal wave that travels through the rail. (a) Which pulse reaches the microphone first? (b) Find the separation in time between the arrivals of the two pulses.
What happens to the amplitude of two overlapping waves, if their two wave pulses overlap on each other both right side up and traveling in the opposite direction? Required to answer. Single choice. a. The overlapping amplitude decreases. b. The overlapping amplitude increases c. The overlapping amplitude cancels out d. Nothing happens when they overlap.
The graphic above depicts the sinusoidal vertical motion of an ant that has fallen onto the surface of some water, and is now bobbing. Some distant source of waves is causing transverse waves to travel across the pond. An observer on shore watches the peaks of the waves and notes they appear to be progressing at 1.1 meter per second across the water. Apart from the transverse wave, the water is not otherwise moving. For the purposes of this problem, consider the ant effectively massless (i.e. it moves as if it is a particle in the wave medium). What is the amplitude of the wave in in meters? What is the frequency of the wave in Hz? How far apart are the wave peaks in meters?
You repeat the Vibrating Strings experiment (this time on Earth where g = 9.80 m/s2) with a different string than the ones used in lab. A mass of M = 35.5 grams suspended from the end of the string produces a standing wave pattern with two antinodes. The distance between the nodes is 30.0 cm. The slope of your L2 M versus n2 ? graph is 0.0150 cm. What is the mass per unit length ? of the string, in grams/cm?
