Concept explainers

Stretched string

A stretched string is a wire which is made up of any metal that must have a larger length compared to its thickness. The ends of the wire are fixed, and when they oscillate or are plucked, it produces two reflected transverse waves of the same frequency and same amplitude. The waves or pulses are traveling in alternate directions and superimpose with one another. This waveform is named standing or stationary waves.

Question

The equation for the displacement of a stationary wave on a string is given by y = 2 (sin 5πt)(cos 6πx), where x and y are in meters, and t is in seconds. Determine:

b. the amplitude of the point P which lies at a distance of 75 cm from the end of the reflection!
