The following four waves are sent along strings with the same linear densities (xis in meters and tis in seconds). Rank the waves according to (a) their wave speed and (b) the tension in the strings along which they travel, greatest first:
(1) (3),
(2) , (4).
String is stretched between two clamps separated by distance L . String B, with the same linear density and under the same tension as string A, is stretched between two clamps separated by distance 4L. Consider the first eight harmonics of stringB. For which of these eight harmonics of B(if any) does the frequency match the frequency of (a) A’s first harmonic, (b) A’s second harmonic, and (c)A’s third harmonic?
A certain transverse sinusoidal wave of wavelength 20cmis moving in the positive direction of an xaxis. The transverse velocity of the particle at x = 0as a function of time is shown in Fig. 16-49, where the scale of the vertical axis is set by. What are the (a) wave speed, (b) amplitude, and (c) frequency? (d) Sketch the wave between x = 0and x = 20cm at t = 2.0 s.

In a demonstration, a 1.2 kghorizontal rope is fixed in place at its two ends (x = 0 and x = 2.0m)and made to oscillate up and down in the fundamental mode, at frequency 5.0 Hz. At t = 0, the point at x = 1.0mhas zero displacement and is moving upward in the positive direction of a yaxis with a transverse velocity of 5.0m/s. What are (a) the amplitude of the motion of that point and (b) the tension in the rope? (c) Write the standing wave equation for the fundamental mode.
Energy is transmitted at rateby a wave of frequency on a string under tension . What is the new energy transmission rate in terms of(a) if the tension is increased to and (b) if, instead, the frequency is decreased to?
