Equation of Waves

Wave is an oscillation or disturbance traveling in a medium. It performs the transportation of energy but does not carry any matter. This motion of waves will transport fuel in a medium without permanent transfer of mass (particle).

Question

Starting with a diagram and fundmantal definitions and/or principles, show how the propagation of a
wave pulse can be understood/modeled as a phase-staggered collection of identical oscillators. The more steps
and explanation you include, the more thorough and clear your analysis,

Consider the wave function y(x,t)=(3.00cm)sin(0.4m1x+2.00s1t+10) . What are the period, wavelength, speed, and initial phase shift of the wave modeled by the wave function?
Check Your Understanding The equations for the wavelengths and the frequencies of the modes of a wave produced on a string: n=2nLn=1,2,3,4,5...andn=nv2L=nf1n=1,2,3,4,5... were derived by considering a wave on a string where there were symmetric boundary conditions of a node at each end. These modes resulted from two sinusoidal waves with identical characteristics except they were moving in opposite directions, confined to a region L with nodes required at both ends.Will the same equations work if there were symmetric boundary conditions with antinodes at each end? What would the normal modes look like for a medium that was free to oscillate on each end? Don’t worry for now if you cannot imagine such a medium, just consider two sinusoidal wave functions in a region of length L, with antinodes on each end.
Consider the superposition of three wave functions y(x,t)=3.00cmsin(2m1x3s1t) , y(x,t)=3.00cmsin(6m1x+3s1t) , and y(x,t)=3.00cmsin(2m1x4s1t) . What is the height of the resulting wave at position x=3.00 m at time t=10.0 s?
Consider a wave produced on a stretched spring by holding one end and shaking it up and down. Does the wavelength depend on the distance you move your hand up and down?
Consider a string with under tension with a constant linear mass density. A sinusoidal wave with an angular frequency and amplitude produced by some external driving force. If the frequency of the driving force is decreased to half of the original frequency, how is the timeaveraged power of the wave affected? If the amplitude of the driving force is decreased by half, how is the timeaveraged power affected? Explain your answer.
Consider two wave functions that differ only by a phase shift, y1(x,t)=Acos(kxt) and y2(x,t)=Acos(kxt+) . Use the trigonometric cosu+cosv=2cos(uv2)cos(u+v2) and cos()=cos() to find a wave equation for the wave resulting from the superposition of the two waves. Does the resulting wave function come as a surprise to you?
Parcels of air (small volumes of air) in a stable atmosphere (where the temperature increases with height) can oscillate up and down, due to the restoring force provided by the buoyancy of the air parcel. The frequency of the oscillations are a measure of the stability of the atmosphere. Assuming that the acceleration of an air parcel can be modeled as 2zt2=g(z)0zz , prove that z=z0etN2 is a solution, where N is known as the Brunt-Väisälä frequency. Note that in a stable atmosphere, the density decreases with height and parcel oscillates up and down.
Consider two periodic wave functions, y1(x,t)=Asin(kxt) and y2(x,t)=Asin(kxt+) . (a) For what values of will the wave that results from a superposition of the wave functions have an amplitude of 2A? (b) For what values of will the wave that results from a superposition of the wave functions have an amplitude of zero?
Consider a standing wave modeled as y(x,t)=4.00cmsin(3m1x)cos(4s1t) . Is there a node or an antinode at x=0.00m ? What about a standing wave modeled as y(x,t)=4.00cmsin(3m1x+2)cos(4s1t) ? Is there a node or an antinode at the x=0.00m position?
A sinusoidal, transverse wave is produced on a stretched spring, having a period T. Each section of the spring moves perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave, in simple harmonic motion with an amplitude A. Does each section oscillate with the same period as the wave or a different period? If the amplitude of the transverse wave were doubled but the period stays the same, would your answer be the same?
