A traveling wave on a taut string with a tension force T is given by the wave function: y(x,t) = 0.1sin(4x+100t), where x and y are in meters and t is in seconds. The linear mass density of the string is a = 0.1 Kg/m. If the tension is multiplied by a factor of four, while keeping the same amplitude, same frequency, and same linear mass density, then the new power of the wave is?
A traveling wave on a taut string with a tension force T is given by the wave function: y(x,t) = 0.1sin(4x+100t), where x and y are in meters andt is in seconds.
