A125 cm length of string has mass 2.00 gand tension 7.00 N. (a) What is the wave speed for this string? (b)What is the lowest resonant frequency of this string?

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. The wave speed for this string is 66.1 m/s
  2. The lowest frequency of this string is 26.4 Hz

Step by step solution

01

Given data

The length of the string isL = 125 cm or 1.25 m.

The mass of the string is M = 2.00 g or 0.002 kg .

The tension in the string is Ï„=7.00N.

02

Understanding the concept of resonant frequency

By using the formulas for the wave speed and the lowest resonant frequency, we can find the wave speed and the lowest resonant frequency of the string respectively.

Formula:

The speed of the wave v=τμ..........(1)

The linear density of the string,μ=ML.........(2)

The resonant frequency of the wave, f=vλ.........(3)

03

Step 3(a): Calculation of the speed of the wave

Using equation (2) in equation (1), we get the speed of the wave as given:

v=τLM=7.00×1.250.002=66.1m/s

Hence, the speed of the wave is 66.1 m/s

04

Step 4(b): Calculation of the lowest frequency

But, the wavelength of the wave with lowest resonant frequencyf1isλ1=2L, therefore, using this in the equation (3) and the given values, we get the lowest frequency as given:

f1=v2L=66.12×1.25=26.4Hz

Hence, the value of lowest frequency is 26.4 Hz

A 120 mlength of string is stretched between fixed supports. What are the (a) longest, (b) second longest, and (c) third longest wavelength for waves traveling on the string if standing waves are to be set up? (d)Sketch those standing waves.

For a particular transverse standing wave on a long string, one of an antinodes is at x = 0and an adjacent node is at x = 0.10 m. The displacement y(t)of the string particle at x = 0is shown in Fig.16-40, where the scale of y theaxis is set by ys=4.0cm. When t = 0.50 s, What is the displacement of the string particle at (a) x = 0.20 mand x = 0.30 m (b) x = 0.30 m? What is the transverse velocity of the string particle at x = 0.20 mat (c) t = 0.50 sand (d) t = 0.1 s ? (e) Sketch the standing wave atfor the range x = 0to x = 0.40 m.

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’s distance?

In Fig. 16-50, a circular loop of string is set spinning about the center point in a place with negligible gravity. The radius is 4.00 cmand the tangential speed of a string segment is 5.00cm/s. The string is plucked. At what speed do transverse waves move along the string? (Hint:Apply Newton’s second law to a small, but finite, section of the string.)

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)Y1=(3mm)sin(x-3t), (3)y3=(1mm)sin(4x-t),

(2) y2=(6mm)sin(2x-t), (4)y4=(2mm)sin(x-2t).
