Two sinusoidal waves with the same amplitude and wavelength travel through each other along a string that is stretched along an xaxis. Their resultant wave is shown twice in Fig. 16-41, as the antinode Atravels from an extreme upward displacement to an extreme downward displacement in. The tick marks along the axis are separated by 10 cm; height His 1.80 cm. Let the equation for one of the two waves is of the form .In the equation for the other wave, what are (a), (b) k, (c) , and (d) the sign in front of?

Two sinusoidal waves of the same wavelength travel in the same direction along a stretched string. For wave 1, and; for wave 2,and. What are the (a) amplitude and (b) phase constant of the resultant wave?
The tension in a wire clamped at both ends is doubled without appreciably changing the wire’s length between the clamps. What is the ratio of the new to the old wave speed for transverse waves traveling along this wire?
A continuous traveling wave with amplitude Ais incident on a boundary. The continuous reflection, with a smaller amplitude B, travels back through the incoming wave. The resulting interference pattern is displayed in Fig. 16-51. The standing wave ratio is defined to be
The reflection coefficient Ris the ratio of the power of the reflected wave to thepower of the incoming wave and is thus proportional to the ratio . What is the SWR for (a) total reflection and (b) no reflection? (c) For SWR = 1.50, what is expressed as a percentage?

What are (a) the lowest frequency, (b) the second lowest frequency, and (c) the third lowest frequency for standing waves on a wire that is10.0 m long, has a mass of 100 g, and is stretched under a tension of 250 N?
