- Use your knowledge of and experience with waves and to answer the following and show your work. What is the frequency in Hertz (Hz) of a signal that repeats 80,000 times in a minute? What is the period of the wave in part (a)? Now suppose you have a composite signal (composed of many frequencies). If the frequencies range from 50 Hz to 600 Hz, what is the (analog) bandwidth?arrow_forwardPlease 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.

- 1. Record the slopes from the best fit lines for both the Thin Spring and the Thick spring. (What are the units of the slopes? They do have units! Be sure to show the units in your answer here). 2. Which spring has the graph with the greater slope, the Thin Spring or the Thick Spring? Answer in a complete sentence. 3. The slope shows the amount of displacement of the spring per amount of hanging mass. Use either the slopes or the equations from your trendlines to predict how much the spring would stretch for a 500 g (0.50 kg) mass. Do this for both the Thin and Thick Springs. 4.The Spring Constant you adjusted in lab is related to the stiffness of the spring – stiffer springs need more mass to “pull” them down the same displacement. If you increase the spring constant, what would happen to the slope (rise/run) of the graph you create? Answer in complete sentences and use your data (either graphs or the tables) as evidence.arrow_forward1.State an example of a standing wave that you have observed in your surrounding.

Compliment: According to an article I've read on the internet, destructive interference occurs when ϕ1-ϕ2=180° What I did was : ϕ1+(π/3)=π Is it wrong?arrow_forward
