66 Figure 16-44 shows the dis-
placement y versus time t of the
point on a string at x= 0, as a
wave passes through that point.
The scale of the y axis is set by
y, = 6.0 mm. The wave is given
by y(x, t) = ym sin(kx – wt + 4).
What is 4? (Caution: A calculator
does not always give the proper
inverse trig function, so check your answer by substituting it and an
assumed value of w into y(x, 1) and then plotting the function.)

72 Two sinusoidal 120 Hz
waves, of the same frequency
and amplitude, are to be sent in
the positive direction of an x axis
that is directed along a cord un-
der tension. The waves can be

sent in phase, or they can be
phase-shifted. Figure 16-47
shows the amplitude y' of the re-
sulting wave versus the distance of the shift (how far one wave is
shifted from the other wave). The scale of the vertical axis is set
by y', = 6.0 mm. If the equations for the two waves are of the
form y(x, t) = ym sin(kx + wt), what are (a) ym, (b) k, (c) w, and
(d) the correct choice of sign in front of w?

20 Figure 17-36 shows four isotropic point sources of sound
that are uniformly spaced on an x axis. The sources emit sound at
the same wavelength A and same amplitude s, and they emit in
phase. A point P is shown on the x axis. Assume that as the sound
waves travel to P, the decrease in their amplitude is negligible.

tance d in the figure is (a) A/4, (b) A/2, and (c) A?
