When a sinusoidal wave crosses the boundary between two sections of cord as in Fig. 11–34, the frequency does not change (although the wavelength and velocity do change). Explain why
A string of mass 2.5 kg is under tension of 200 N. The length of the stretched string is 20.0 m. If the transverse jerk is struck at one end of the string, calculate the time needed for the disturbance to reach the other end.
If the amplitude of a wave is doubled, what will be the effect on the loudness?
