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.

Consider the graph in the preceding problem of a compression wave. Shown are snapshots of the wave function for t=0.000 s (blue) and t=0.005 s (orange). Given that the displacement of the molecule at time t=0.00 s and position x=0.00 m is s(0.00m,0.00s)=1.08mm , derive a wave function to model the compression wave.
Sine waves are sent down a 1.5-m-long string fixed at both ends. The waves reflect back in the opposite direction. The amplitude of the wave is 4.00 cm. The propagation velocity of the waves is 175 m/s. The n=6 resonance mode of the string is produced. Write an equation for the resulting standing wave.
A trough with dimensions 10.00 meters by 0.10 meters by 0.10 meters is partially filled with water. Smallamplitude surface water waves are produced from both ends of the trough by paddles oscillating in simple harmonic motion. The height of the water waves are modeled with two sinusoidal wave equations, y1(x,t)=0.3msin(4m1x3s1t) and y2(x,t)=0.3mcos(4m1x+3s1t2) . What is the wave function of the resulting wave after the waves reach one another and before they reach the end of the trough (i.e., assume that there are only two waves in the trough and ignore reflections)? Use a spreadsheet to check your results. (Hint: Use the trig identities sin(uv)=sinucosvcosusinv and sin(uv)=sinucosvcosusinv
The power versus time for a point on a string (=0.05kg/m) in which a sinusoidal traveling wave is induced is shown in the preceding figure. The wave is modeled with the wave equation y(x,t)=Asin(20.93m1x1t) . What is the frequency and amplitude of the wave?
Check Your Understanding The wave equation 2y(x,t)x2=1v22y(x,t)t2 works for any wave of the form y(x,t)=f(xvt) . In the previous section, we stated that a cosine function could also be used to model a simple harmonic mechanical wave. Check if the wave y(x,t)=0.50mcos(0.20m1x4.00s1t+10) is a solution to the wave equation. Any disturbance that complies with the wave equation can propagate as a wave moving along the x-axis with a wave speed v. It works equally well for waves on a string, sound waves, and electromagnetic waves. This equation is extremely useful. For example, it can be used to show that electromagnetic waves move at the speed of light.
A sinusoidal transverse wave has a wavelength of 2.80 m. It takes 0.10 s for a portion of the string at a position x to move from a maximum position of y=0.03 m to the equilibrium position y=0 . What are the period, frequency, and wave speed of the wave?
A swimmer in the ocean observes one day that the ocean surface waves are periodic and resemble a sine wave. The swimmer estimates that the vertical distance between the crest and the trough of each wave is approximately 0.45 m, and the distance between each crest is approximately 1.8 m. The swimmer counts that 12 waves pass every two minutes. Determine the simple harmonic wave function that would describes these waves.
Ultrasound equipment used in the medical profession uses sound waves of a frequency above the range of human hearing. If the frequency of the sound produced by the ultrasound machine is f=30 kHz, what is the wavelength of the ultrasound in bone, if the speed of sound in bone is v=3000 m/s?

(b) What are the period and wavelength of the sound wave?
A sound wave produced by an ultrasonic transducer, moving in air, is modeled with the wave equation s(x,t)=4.50nmcos(9.15104m1x2(5.00MHz)t) .
