Concept explainers

A sound wave is a mechanical wave (or mechanical vibration) that transit through media such as gas (air), liquid (water), and solid (wood).

Quality Of Sound

A sound or a sound wave is defined as the energy produced due to the vibrations of particles in a medium. When any medium produces a disturbance or vibrations, it causes a movement in the air particles which produces sound waves. Molecules in the air vib…

Categories of Sound Wave

People perceive sound in different ways, like a medico student takes sound as vibration produced by objects reaching the human eardrum. A physicist perceives sound as vibration produced by an object, which produces disturbances in nearby air molecules th…

Textbook Question

Chapter 16, Problem 64P

The equation of a transverse wave traveling alone a string is

y = 0.15 sin(0.79x − 13t),

in which x and y are in meters and t is in seconds. (a) What is the displacement y at x = 2.3 m, t = 0.16 s? A second wave is to be added to the first wave to produce standing waves on the siring. If the second wave is of the form y(x, t) = y_m sin(kx ± ωt), what are (b) y_m, (c) k, (d) ω, and (e) the correct choice of sign in front of ω for this second wave? (f) What the displacement of the resultant standing wave at x = 2.3 m, t = 0.16 s?
