(II) A cord has two sections with linear densities of 0.10 kg/m and 0.20 kg/m. Fig. 15–34. An incident wave, given by D = (0.050 m) sin (7.5x − 12.0t), where x is in meters and t in seconds, travels along the lighter cord. (a) What is the wavelength on the lighter section of the cord? (b) What is the tension in the cord? (c) What is the wavelength when the wave travels on the heavier section?

- How many times a minute does a boat bob up and down on ocean waves that have a wavelength of 40.0 m and a propagation speed of 5.00 m/s?arrow_forwardTo increase the intensity of a wave by a factor of 50, by what factor should the amplitude be increased?arrow_forwardA sound wave in air has a pressure amplitude equal to 4.00 103 Pa. Calculate the displacement amplitude of the wave at a frequency of 10.0 kHz.arrow_forward
- A cable with a linear density of =0.2 kg/m is hung from telephone poles. The tension in the cable is 500.00 N. The distance between poles is 20 meters. The wind blows across the line, causing the cable resonate. A standing waves pattern is produced that has 4.5 wavelengths between the two poles. The air temperature is T=20C . What are the frequency and wavelength of the hum?arrow_forwardIf the tension in a string were increased by a factor of four, by what factor would the wave speed of a wave on the string increase?arrow_forwardA sound wave of a frequency of 2.00 kHz is produced by a string oscillating in the n=6 mode. The linear mass density of the string is =0.0065 kg/m and the length of the string is 1.50 m. What is the tension in the string?arrow_forward
- Porpoises emit sound waves that they use for navigation. If the wavelength of the sound wave emitted is 4.5 cm, and the speed of sound in the water is v=1530 m/s, what is the period of the sound?arrow_forwardA string is fixed at both end. The mass of the string is 0.0090 kg and the length is 3.00 m. The string is under a tension of 200.00 N. The string is driven by a variable frequency source to produce standing waves on the string. Find the wavelengths and frequency of the first four modes of standing waves.arrow_forwardA string with a mass of 0.30 kg has a length of 4.00 m. If the tension in the string is 50.00 N, and a sinusoidal wave with an amplitude of 2.00 cm is induced on the string, what must the frequency be for an average power of 100.00 W?arrow_forward
- Check Your Understanding When a guitar string is plucked, the guitar string oscillates as a result of waves moving through the string. The vibrations of the string cause the air molecules to oscillate, forming sound waves. The frequency of the sound waves is equal to the frequency of the vibrating string. Is the wavelength of the sound wave always equal to the wavelength of the waves on the string?arrow_forwardThe energy of a ripple on a pond is proportional to the amplitude squared. If the amplitude of the ripple is 0.1 cm at a distance from the source of 6.00 meters, what was the amplitude at a distance of 2.00 meters from the source?arrow_forwardCheck Your Understanding Describe how amplitude is related to the loudness of a sound.arrow_forward
