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 is sent along a cord under tension, transporting energy at the average rate of,1.Two waves, identical to that first one, are then to be sent along the cord with a phase difference of either0,0.2 wavelength, or 0.5wavelength. (a) With only mental calculation, rank those choices ofaccording to the average rate at which the waves will transport energy, greatest first. (b) For
The first choice of, what is the average rate in terms oflocalid="1661229908063" ?
Use the wave equation to find the speed of a wave given by 鈥 .
Consider a loop in the standing wave created by two waves (amplitude 5.00 mmand frequency 120 Hz ) traveling in opposite directions along a string with length 2.25 mand mass125gand under tension 40 N. At what rate does energy enter the loop from (a) each side and (b) both sides? (c) What is the maximum kinetic energy of the string in the loop during its oscillation?
