Two sinusoidal waves are moving through a medium in the positive x-direction, both having amplitudes of 6.00 cm, a wavelength of 4.3 m, and a period of 6.00 s, but one has a phase shift of an angle ϕ = 0.50 rad. What is the height of the resultant wave at a time t = 3.15 s and a position x = 0.45 m ?
Consider a transverse periodic (sinusoidal) wave passing through a very long string of mass density 0.250 kg/m. The wave function for this wave is found to be:
y (x,t) = (0.125 m) cos [(1.10 rad/m) x - (15.0 rad/s) t]
From the equation find the following quantities
1. Direction of th oscillation of the medium (i.e. which axis)
2. Direction of the motion of the wave (i.e. which axis, and ij the positive or negative direction)
3. Speed of the wave
4. Tension of the string
5. Average power P av delivered by the wave
A wave travelling along a string is described by y(x,t)=0.00327sin(72x−2.72t) in which the numerical constants are in SI units (i.e., 0.00327m, 72.1 rad/m and 2.72 rad/s.) Find the amplitude, wavelength, period and speed of the wave.
