A sinusoidal wave is sent along a string with a linear density of 2.0 g/m. As it travels, the kinetic energies of the mass elements along the string vary. Figure (a)gives the ratedK/dtat which kinetic energy passes through the string elements at a particular instant, plotted as a function of distance x along the string. Figure (b)is similar except that it gives the rate at which kinetic energy passes through a particular mass element (at a particular location), plotted as a function of time t. For both figures, the scale on the vertical (rate) axis is set by Rs = 10 W. What is the amplitude of the wave?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Understanding the concept of wave equation

For a sinusoidal wave, by using the formula of average power, we can calculate the amplitude of the wave.

Formula:

The rate of kinetic energy, dkdt=122ym2cos2kx-t(i)

The angular frequency of a body=2f (ii)

The velocity of a body, =f (iii)

Calculation for the amplitude of the wave

In equation (i), it can be seen that the rate of change of kinetic energy is the function of cos2kx-t. So, using the relationship between the time period of cosand cos2functions and using the time period given in the graph, we can write the frequency as:

f=1210-3s=500Hz

Similarly, the velocity of the wave is given as:

v=0.1m110-3s=100m/s

Using equation (iii), the wavelength of a wave is given as:

=v/f=100500=0.20m

From equation (i), we can writethat the rate of change of kinetic energy would bemaximum if cos2kx-t=1

Hence, the value of the amplitude is 0.0032 m
