The amplitudes and phase differences for four pairs of waves of equal wavelengths are (a) 2 mm, 6 mm, and Ï€°ù²¹»å, (b) 3 mm, 5 mm, andrad (c) 7 mm, 9 mm, and (d) 2 mm, 2 mm, and 0 rad. Each pair travels in the same direction along the same string. Without written calculation, rank the four pairs according to the amplitude of their resultant wave, greatest first.

(Hint:Construct phasor diagrams.)

Short Answer

Expert verified

The four pairs can be ranked according to the amplitude of their resultant wave, taking the greatest first as,ya=yd>yb=yc

Step by step solution

01

Given

2 mm, 6mm and ττrad

3 mm, 5mm and ττrad

2 mm, 2mm and 0rad

Hint: Construct a phasor diagram.

02

Determining the concept

Use the concept of phasors and draw the circuit diagram.

Formulae are as follow:

ym→=ym1→+ym2→

Where, y is vector.

03

Determining the rank the four pairs according to the amplitude of their resultant wave, taking the greatest first.

a) The amplitude of their resultant wave:

ym1=2mm,ym2=6mmand∅=ττrad

Draw the phasor diagram for the given amplitudes by using a vector diagram.

b) The amplitude of their resultant wave:

ym1=3mm,ym2=5mmand∅=ττrad

Draw the phasor diagram for the given amplitudes by using a vector diagram.

c) The amplitude of their resultant wave:

ym1=7mm,ym2=9mmand∅=ττrad

Draw the phasor diagram for the given amplitudes by using a vector diagram.

d) The amplitude of their resultant wave:

Draw the phasor diagram for the given amplitudes, by using a vector diagram.

Therefore, from the phasor diagram, rank of the four pairs according to the amplitude of their resultant wave, taking the greatest first is,

ya=yd>yb=yc

Therefore construct the phasor diagram by using the vector diagram concept. find their resultant wave by using vector addition law and rank them, taking the 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 beSWR=A+BA-B

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 (BA)2. What is the SWR for (a) total reflection and (b) no reflection? (c) For SWR = 1.50, what is expressed as a percentage?

A string that is stretched between fixed supports separated by 75.0 cmhas resonant frequencies of 420and 315 Hz , with no intermediate resonant frequencies. What are (a) the lowest resonant frequency and (b) the wave speed?

The type of rubber band used inside some baseballs and golf balls obeys Hooke’s law over a wide range of elongation of the band. A segment of this material has an un-stretched length land a mass m. When a force Fis applied, the band stretches an additional length∆l. (a) What is the speed (in terms of m, l, and the spring constant k) of transverse waves on this stretched rubber band? (b) Using your answer to (a), show that the time required for a transverse pulse to travel the length of the rubber band is proportional to 1/∆l if role="math" localid="1660986246683" ∆l≫l and is constant if ∆l≪l.
