Two waves are generated on a string of length 3.0 , to produce a three-loop standing wave with an amplitude of 1.0 cm. The wave speed is 100 m/s. Let the equation for one of the waves is of the formy(x,t)=ymsin(kx+Ó¬t). In the equation for the other wave, What are (a)ym(b)k, (c) What isÓ¬, and (e) the sign in front ofÓ¬?

Short Answer

Expert verified

a) The value ofym of the other wave is 0.5 cm

b) The value of k of the other wave is 3.1m-1

c) The value of Ó¬of the other wave is 314 rad/s

d) The sign ofÓ¬ of the other wave is minus.

Step by step solution

01

Given data

No. of loops are,n=3

Length of string is,I =3.0 m

Amplitude of standing wave is,ym'=1.0cmor0.1mym'=1.0cmor0.01m

Wave speed of standing wave is,v=100 m/s

Wave equation of one of the wave is,y(x,t)=ymsin(kx+Ó¬t)

02

Understanding the concept of standing wave

We can find the value of ymfrom the amplitude of the standing wave. The wavelength of the standing wave can be calculated from the length of the string and no. of loops using the corresponding relation which is used to find the wave number. The frequency of the wave can be calculated from the wavelength using the corresponding formula. This can be used to find the angular speed.

Formulae:

The expression of the standing wave,y'=2ymsinkxcosÓ¬t).....1

The wavenumber of the wave, k=2πλ.....(2)

The angular frequency of the wave, Ó¬=2Ï€fâ‹…â‹…â‹…â‹…â‹…â‹…(3)

The velocity of the wave, v=fλ⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅(4)

Wavelength of the standing wave,λ=2ln⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅(5)

03

Step 3(a): Calculation of ym

Using equation (1), we get the value of the amplitude as given:

Given that

2ym=0.01mym=5×10-3m=0.5cm

Therefore, the value ofrole="math" localid="1661166430187" ym=0.5cm

04

Step 4(b): Calculation of k

Using equation (5), we get the value of wavenumber as given:

λ=23.03∵thewaveisatthirdharmonic=2.0m

Hence, using equation (2) and the given values, we get the wavenumber as:

k=23.1422m=3.142m-1~3.1m-1

Therefore, the value of k is 3.1m-1.

05

Step 5(c): Calculation of the angular frequency

Using equation (4) and the given values, the frequency of the wave as given:

f=1002=50Hz

Angular velocity of the wave using equation (3) is given as:

Ó¬=23.14250=314.2rad/s~314rad/s

Therefore, the value ofÓ¬=314rad/s

06

Step 6(d): Finding the sign of the angular frequency

Wave equation of the other wave is

y(x,t)=ymsin(kx-Ó¬t)

Therefore, the sign ofÓ¬ of the other wave is minus.
