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.

Two small speakers, 0.610 m apart, are facing in the same direction. They are driven by one 685 Hz oscillator and therefore emit identical sound waves in phase with one another at the respective points of origin. (The speed of sound waves in air is 343 m/s.) Two speakers are side by side, with one speaker on the left and one on the right. The speakers are separated by a distance d and emit sound waves in the same direction. A man stands directly in front of the speaker on the right but a distance x away from the right speaker.
