If a wavey(x,t)=(6.0mm)sin(kx+600rad/st)travels along a string, how much time does any given point on the string take to move between displacementsy=+2.0mmand y=-2.0mm?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Any given point on the string takes 1.1 ms to move between displacementsy=+2.0mm andy=+2.0mm

Step by step solution

01

The given data

  1. The given equation of the wave,yx,t=6.0mmsinlx+600rad/st+Ï•
  2. Displacements of the string is between, y=+2.0mmandy=+2.0mm
02

Understanding the concept of wave equation

Here, we can apply the standard wave equation for the two given displacements. By rearranging it and subtracting we get the required time.

03

Calculation for the time taken by the point of string

The given wave function is

yx,t=6.0mmsinlx+600rad/st+Ï•

Suppose, the point is at y = +2.0 mm at timet=t1. So,

+2.0mm=6.0mmsinlx+600rad/st+ϕkx+600rad/st1+ϕ=2.0mm6.0mm........................................1

In a similar way, let us assume the point is at y =-2.0 mm at time . So,

role="math" localid="1657281223675" -2.0mm=6.0mmsinkx+600rad/st2+ϕkx+600rad/st2+ϕ=-2.0mm6.0mm........................................2

Now, by subtracting equation (1) from equation (2), we get

600×t1-t2=0.67614t1-t2=1.1269×10-3s≈1.1ms

Hence, the value of required time is1.1ms

A sinusoidal wave is sent along a cord under tension, transporting energy at the average rate ofPavg1,1.Two waves, identical to that first one, are then to be sent along the cord with a phase difference φof either0,0.2 wavelength, or 0.5wavelength. (a) With only mental calculation, rank those choices ofφaccording to the average rate at which the waves will transport energy, greatest first. (b) For

The first choice ofφ, what is the average rate in terms oflocalid="1661229908063" Pavg1?

Two sinusoidal waves, identical except for phase, travel in the same direction along a string, producing the net wavey'(x,t)=(3.0 mm)sin(20x-4.0t+0.820 rad), with x in meters and t in seconds. (a) What is the wavelengthλof the two waves, (b) What is the phase difference between them, and (c) What is their amplitudeym?

Four waves are to be sent along the same string, in the same direction:

y1(x,t)=(4.00mm)sin(2Ï€³æ-400Ï€³Ù)y2(x,t)=(4.00mm)sin(2Ï€x-400Ï€t+0.7Ï€)y3(x,t)=(4.00mm)sin(2Ï€x-400Ï€t+Ï€)y4(x,t)=(4.00mm)sin(2Ï€x-400Ï€t+1.7Ï€)


What is the amplitude of the resultant wave?

If you start with two sinusoidal waves of the same amplitude traveling in phase on a string and then somehow phase-shift one of them by 5.4wavelengths, what type of interference will occur on the string?
