Two sinusoidal waves of the same wavelength travel in the same direction along a stretched string. For wave 1,ym=3.0mm andϕ=0°; for wave 2,ym=5.0mmandϕ=70°. What are the (a) amplitude and (b) phase constant of the resultant wave?

Short Answer

Expert verified

a) Amplitude of the resultant wave is 6.7mm

b) Phase constant for the resultant wave is45°45°

Step by step solution

01

Given data

For wave 1ym=3.0mm andϕ=0°

For wave 2 ym=5.0mmandϕ=70°

02

Understanding the concept of resonant frequency 

Here, we can find the x and y components of both waves. Using the vector addition rule, we can find the x and y components of the resultant. Using the Pythagoras theorem, we can find the magnitude.

To find the phase difference, we can use the x and y components of the resultant.

Formula:

The formula for hypotenuse using the Pythagoras theorem,y=yx2+yy2................(1)

The phase angle can be calculated using equation, θ=yyyx...........(2)

Step 3(a): Calculation of amplitude

x component of wave 1 is given as:

yx1=3.00mm

x component of wave 2 is given as:

yx2=5.00cos70°=1.71mm

y component of wave 1 is given as:

yy1=0.00mm

y component of wave 2 is given as:

yy2=5.00sin70°=4.7mm

So x component of resultant wave is given as:

role="math" localid="1660991009082" yy=yx1+yx2=3.00+1.71=4.71mm

So y component of resultant wave is given as:

yy=yy1+yy2=0.00+4.7=4.7mm

So, using equation (1), the amplitude of the resultant wave is given as:

y=4.712+4.72=6.65mm≈6.7mm

Hence, the amplitude of the resultant wave is6.7mm

Step 4(b): Calculation of phase difference

So, the phase difference using equation (ii) is given as:

tanϕ=4.74.71ϕ=45°

Hence, the value of phase difference is45°

Body armor. When a high-speed projectile such as a bullet or bomb fragment strikes modern body armor, the fabric of the armor stops the projectile and prevents penetration by quickly spreading the projectile’s energy over a large area. This spreading is done by longitudinal and transverse pulses that move radiallyfrom the impact point, where the projectile pushes a cone-shaped dent into the fabric. The longitudinal pulse, racing along the fibers of the fabric at speedahead of the denting, causes the fibers to thin and stretch, with material flowing radially inward into the dent. One such radial fiber is shown in Fig. 16-48a. Part of the projectile’s energy goes into this motion and stretching. The transverse pulse, moving at a slower speedvt, is due to the denting. As the projectile increases the dent’s depth, the dent increases in radius, causing the material in the fibers to move in the same direction as the projectile (perpendicular to the transverse pulse’s direction of travel). The rest of the projectile’s energy goes into this motion. All the energy that does not eventually go into permanently deforming the fibers ends up as thermal energy. Figure 16-48bis a graph of speed vversus time tfor a bullet of mass 10.2g fired from a .38 Special revolver directly into body armor. The scales of the vertical and horizontal axes are set byvs=300m/sandts=4.00μ²õ. TakevI=2000m/s, and assume that the half-angle θof the conical dent is60°. At the end of the collision, what are the radii of (a) the thinned region and (b) the dent (assuming that the person wearing the armor remains stationary)?

Two sinusoidal 120 Hzwaves, of the same frequency and amplitude, are to be sent in the positive direction of an xaxis that is directed along a cord under tension. The waves can be sent in phase, or they can be phase-shifted. Figure 16-47 shows the amplitude yof the resulting wave versus the distance of the shift (how far one wave is shifted from the other wave). The scale of the vertical axis is set byys=6.0mm. If the equations for the two waves are of the formy(x,t)=ymsin(kx-Ó¬t), what are (a)ym, (b) k, (c)Ó¬, and (d) the correct choice of sign in front ofÓ¬?

Two waves are described byy1=0.30sin[Ï€5x-200t]and y3=0.30sin[Ï€(5x-200t)+Ï€/3], where,y1,y2and xare in meters and t is in seconds. When these two waves are combined, a traveling wave is produced. What are the (a) amplitude, (b) wave speed, and (c) wavelength of that travelling wave?

Figure 16-44 shows the displacement yversus time tof the point on a string atx=0, as a wave passes through that point. The scale of the yaxis is set byys=6.0mm. The wave is given byy(x,t)=ymsin(kx-Ӭt-ϕ). What isθ? (Caution:A calculator does not always give the proper inverse trig function, so check your answer by substituting it and an assumed value ofӬintoy(x,t)) and then plotting the function.)

A 1.50 mwire has a mass of 8.70 gand is under a tension of 120 N. The wire is held rigidly at both ends and set into oscillation. (a) What is the speed of waves on the wire? What is the wavelength of the waves that produce (b) one-loop and (c) two loop standing waves? What is the frequency of the waves that produce (d) one-loop and (e) two-loop standing waves?
