Many of the topics discussed in this chapter are useful beyond the topics of mechanical waves. It is hard to conceive of a mechanical wave with sharp corners, but you could encounter such a wave form in your digital electronics class, as shown below. This could be a signal from a device known as an analog to digital converter, in which a continuous voltage signal is converted into a discrete signal or a digital recording of sound. What is the result of the superposition of the two signals?
Consider a stretched spring, such as a slinky. The stretched spring can support longitudinal waves and transverse waves. How can you produce transverse waves on the spring? How can you produce longitudinal waves on the spring?
Consider the graph shown below of a compression wave. Shown are snapshots of the wave function for t=0.000 s (blue) and t=0.005 s (orange). What are the wavelength, maximum displacement, velocity, and period of the compression wave?
Consider two wave functions y1(x,t)=Asin(kxt) and y2(x,t)=Asin(kx+t+) . What is the wave function resulting from the interference of the two wave? (Hint: sin()=sincoscossin and =2+2 .)
The wave function that models a standing wave is given as yr(x,t)=6.00cmsin(3.00m1x+1.20rad)cos(6.00s1t+1.20rad) . What are two wave functions that interfere to form this wave function? Plot the two wave functions and the sum of the sum of the two wave functions at t=1.00 s to verify your answer.
A 0.80-m-long tube is opened at both ends. The air temperature is 26°C. The air in the tube is oscillated using a speaker attached to a signal generator. What are the wavelengths and frequencies of first two modes of sound waves that resonate in the tube?
Six members of a synchronized swim team wear earplugs to protect themselves against water pressure at depths, but they can still hear the music and perform the combinations in the water perfectly. One day, they were asked to leave the pool so the dive team could practice a few dives, and they tried to practice on a mat, but seemed to have a lot more difficulty. Why might this be?
Consider two waves defined by the wave functions y1(x,t)=0.20msin(26.00mx24.00st) and y2(x,t)=0.20mcos(26.00mx24.00st) . What are the similarities and differences between the two waves? frequency, (d) wave speed, (e) phase shift, (f) wavelength, and (g) period of the wave.
You may have used a sonic range finder in lab to measure the distance of an object using a clicking sound from a sound transducer. What is the principle used in this device?
Two speakers are attached to variable-frequency signal generator. Speaker A produces a constant-frequency sound wave of 1.00 kHz, and speaker B produces a tone of 1.10 kHz. The beat frequency is 0.10 kHz. If the frequency of each speaker is doubled, what is the beat frequency produced?
A 4.0-m-long pipe, open at both ends, is placed in a room where the temperature is T=25C . A speaker capable of producing variable frequencies is placed at the open end and is used to cause the tube to resonate. (a) What are the wavelength and the frequency of the fundamental frequency? (b) What are the frequency and wavelength of the first overtone?
