Figure 16-26 shows three waves that are separatelysent along a string that is stretched under a certain tension along an xaxis. Rank the waves according to their (a) wavelengths, (b) speeds, and (c) angular frequencies, greatest first.

A continuous traveling wave with amplitude Ais incident on a boundary. The continuous reflection, with a smaller amplitude B, travels back through the incoming wave. The resulting interference pattern is displayed in Fig. 16-51. The standing wave ratio is defined to be
The reflection coefficient Ris the ratio of the power of the reflected wave to thepower of the incoming wave and is thus proportional to the ratio . What is the SWR for (a) total reflection and (b) no reflection? (c) For SWR = 1.50, what is expressed as a percentage?

Two sinusoidal waves with identical wavelengths and amplitudes travel in opposite directions along a string with a speed of10cm/s. If the time interval between instants when the string is flat is0.50s, what is the wavelength of the waves?
If you start with two sinusoidal waves of the same amplitude traveling in phase on a string and then somehow phase-shift one of them by 5.4wavelengths, what type of interference will occur on the string?
A sinusoidal wave travels along a string under tension. Figure 16-31 gives the slopes along the string at time t =0.The scale of the x axis is set by .What is the amplitude of the wave?
