A pulse is defined as y(x,t)=e2.77( 2.00( x2.00m/s ( t ) ) 5.00m)2 . Use a spreadsheet, or other computer program, to plot the pulse as the height of medium y as a function of position x. Plot the pulse at times t=0.00s and t=3.00s on the same graph. Where is the pulse centered at time t=0.00s ? Use your spreadsheet to check your answer.
Later in this book, you will learn that sound is a wave. The wavelength and frequency f of a wave are related by f = v where v is the speed of the wave. Musicians refer to these different wavelengths or frequencies by their notes (AG). Use the information in the following table to plot the frequency on the vertical axis and 1/ on the horizontal axis. Give a conceptual Interpretation and numerical value of the slope on your graph.
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?
When sound passes from one medium to another where its propagation speed is different, does its frequency or wavelength change? Explain your answer briefly.
Consider a rod of length L, mounted in the center to a support. A node must exist where the rod is mounted on a support, as shown below. Draw the first two normal modes of the rod as it is driven into resonance. Label the wavelength and the frequency required to drive the rod into resonance.
A certain uniform string is held under constant tension. (a) Draw a side-view snapshot of a sinusoidal wave on a siring as shown in diagrams in the text. (b) Immediately below diagram (a), draw the same wave at a moment later by one-quarter of the period of the wave. (c) Then, draw a wave with an amplitude 1.5 times larger than the wave in diagram (a). (d) Next, draw a wave differing from the one in your diagram (a) just by having a wavelength 1.5 times larger. (e) Finally, draw a wave differing from that in diagram (a) just by having a frequency 1.5 times larger.
A wave travels upward in a medium (vertical wave velocity). What is the direction of particle oscillation for (a) a longitudinal wave and (b) a transverse 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?
A wave is modeled by the wave function y(x,t)=(0.30m)sin[24.50m(x18.00mst)] . What are the amplitude, wavelength, wave speed, period, and frequency of the wave?
