A wave has an angular frequency of110rad/sand a wavelength of 1.80m. (a)Calculate the angular wave number and (b)Calculate the speed of the wave.

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. The angular wave number is3.49m1
  2. The speed of the wave is31.53m/s

Step by step solution

01

The given data

  • The angular frequency of a wave,=110rad/s
  • The wavelength of a wave,=1.8m
02

Understanding the concept of the wave equation

Wave number is the inverse of wavelength. The speed of the wave is equal to the product of its wavelength and frequency. The angular frequency is equal to 2蟺 times frequency.

We can use the equations of wavenumber and the speed of the wave to calculate them.

Formulae:

The angular wave number of a wave equation, k=2(i)

The speed of the wave, v=f(ii)

The angular frequency of the wave, =2f(iii)

03

(a) Calculation for finding the wave equation

The angular wave number using equation (i) is calculated by substituting the values in the equation (i).

k=2蟿蟿1.8m=3.49m-1

The value of the angular wave number is role="math" localid="1657278936633" 3.49m-1.

04

(b) Calculation of wave speed

The speed of the wave using equations (ii) and (iii) frequency function is given as:

v=2=1.81102=31.53m/s

Hence, the value of wave speed is 31.53m/s.

A sand scorpion can detect the motion of a nearby beetle (its prey) by the waves the motion sends along the sand surface (Figure). The waves are of two types: transverse waves traveling at vt=50m/sand longitudinal waves traveling at vt=50m/s. If a sudden motion sends out such waves, a scorpion can tell the distance of the beetle from the difference localid="1657274843608" tin the arrival times of the waves at its leg nearest the beetle. If localid="1661230422984" t=4.0ms, what is the beetle鈥檚 distance?
