(a) If a standing wave on a string is given by
is there a node or an antinode of the oscillations of the string atx = 0? (b) If the standing wave is given by
is there a node or an antinode at x = 0?
If a transmission line in a cold climate collects ice, the increased diameter tends to cause vortex formation in a passing wind. The air pressure variations in the vortexes tend to cause the line to oscillate (gallop), especially if the frequency of the variations matches a resonant frequency of the line. In long lines, the resonant frequencies are so close that almost any wind speed can set up a resonant mode vigorous enough to pull down support towers or cause the line to short outwith an adjacent line. If a transmission line has a length of 347 m, a linear density of 3.35 kg/m, and a tension of 65.2 MN. What are (a) the frequency of the fundamental mode and (b) the frequency difference between successive modes?
Strings Aand Bhave identical lengths and linear densities, but string Bis under greater tension than string A. Figure 16-27 shows four situations, (a) through (d), in which standing wave patterns exist on the two strings. In which situations is there the possibility that strings Aand Bare oscillating at the same resonant frequency?

A sinusoidal wave of angular frequency1200 rad/s and amplitude 3,00mmis sent along a cord with linear density 2.00 g/mand tension 1200 N. (a)What is the average rate at which energy is transported by the wave to the opposite end of the cord? (b)If, simultaneously, an identical wave travels along an adjacent, identical cord, what is the total average rate at which energy is transported to the opposite ends of the two cords by the waves?If, instead, those two waves are sent along the samecord simultaneously, what is the total average rate at which they transport energy When their phase difference is 0, (b)When their phase difference is (c) 0(d), and (e) is?
Two waves are described byand , where,and xare in meters and t is in seconds. When these two waves are combined, a traveling wave is produced. What are the (a) amplitude, (b) wave speed, and (c) wavelength of that travelling wave?
