- Please download the following worksheets, which show 4 separate grids. Each grid has two different waves (e.g., Wave and Wave B). Your goal is to draw the resulting wave (i.e., Wave C) if the two waves would have been superposed on top of each other. To do this, you'll need to add the two amplitudes (height of the Wave A and Wave B on the y-axis) at a given point on the x-axis to get the resulting one. For example, using number 3 as an example: a. At point 0 on the x axis, Wave A has an amplitude of 0, and Wave B has an amplitude of 0, so Wave C at point 0 would be 0. b. At point 4 on the x axis, Wave A has an amplitude of 6, and Wave B has an amplitude of 4, so Wave C at point 3 would have an amplitude of 10. c. At point 8 on the x axis. Wave A has an amplitdue of 0, and Wave B has an amplitude of -4, so Wave C at point 8 would be -4. You do not have to find the points for every single point along the x-axis, but just enough to get the general shape of the resulting wave. Once you…arrow_forwardRefer to the photo below. b.

Thank youarrow_forwardHaving some trouble understanding this question: a and b Please see attached image Caroline, a piano tuner, suspects that a piano's D4 key is out of tune. Normally, she would play the key along with her D4 tuning fork and tune the piano to match, but her D4 tuning fork is missing. Instead, she plays the errant key along with her C4 tuning fork (which has a frequency of 261.6 Hz), displays the resulting waveform on a handheld oscilloscope, and measures a beat frequency of 50.3 Hz. Then, she plays the errant key along with her E4 tuning fork (which has a frequency of 329.6 Hz) and measures a beat frequency of 17.7 Hz. a. What frequency is being played by the out‑of‑tune key? 211.3 Hz 311.9 Hz 18.2 Hz 347.3 Hz 279.3 Hz b. If the D4 key is supposed to produce a frequency of 293.7 Hz, is the frequency of the key lower than it should be ("flat") or higher than it should be ("sharp")? flat sharparrow_forwardTwo point sources are vibrating together (in phase) at the same frequency to produce a two-point source interference pattern. The diagram at the right depicts the two-point source interference pattern. The crests are represented by thick lines and the troughs by thin lines. Several points on the pattern are marked by a dot and labeled with a letter. Use the diagram to answer the following questions. a. Which of the labeled points are antinodal points? b. Which of the labeled points are nodal points? c. Which of the labeled points are formed as a result of constructive interference? d. Which of the labeled points are located on the central antinodal line? e. Which of the labeled points are located on the first antinodal line?arrow_forward
- The diagram below shows all the antinodal lines (dashed) and nodal lines (solid) due to two-point sources tapping a water surface (the two dots in the middle of the circle are the two-point sources). The sources are separated by an unknown distance d. The sources lie along a horizontal line. Are the two sources in phase or out of phase? Explain how you can tell from the diagram. If the two sources are out of phase, give the phase difference between the two sources. Explain. What is the source separation, d, in terms of the wavelength λ?
