In a demonstration, a 1.2 kghorizontal rope is fixed in place at its two ends (x = 0 and x = 2.0m)and made to oscillate up and down in the fundamental mode, at frequency 5.0 Hz. At t = 0, the point at x = 1.0mhas zero displacement and is moving upward in the positive direction of a yaxis with a transverse velocity of 5.0m/s. What are (a) the amplitude of the motion of that point and (b) the tension in the rope? (c) Write the standing wave equation for the fundamental mode.

Significance of the wave equation

A wave is an oscillation that moves through space while also transferring energy. Without moving the particles of the medium, the waves' motion results in an energy transfer. We can find the amplitude of the motion of the point on the rope from its velocity and frequency using the corresponding relation. Using the formula for the velocity of particles on the string we can find tension in the rope. From values of angular velocity, wave number, and amplitude we can write the standing wave equation for the fundamental mode.

Formula:

The velocity of an oscillation, v=Ó¬k …(¾±)

The maximum transverse speed, vm=Ó¬ym …(¾±¾±)

The angular frequency of the wave,Ó¬=2Ï€f …(¾±¾±¾±)

The speed of the wave, v=fλ …(¾±±¹)

The velocity of the string, v=Tμ …(±¹)

The wavenumber of the wave, k=2πλ …(±¹¾±)

(a) Determining the amplitude of the motion

From equation (iii), the angular velocity of the wave is given as:

Ó¬=2Ï€5Hz=31.4rad/s

Hence, using value of angular frequency in equation (ii), we get the amplitude of the motion is given as:

ym=5m/s31.4rad/s=0.159m~0.16m

Therefore, the amplitude of the motion of the point on the rope is 0.16 m

04

(b) Determining the tension of the rope

Using equation (iv), the speed of waves on the rope is given as:

v=f2L∵λ=firstfundamentalwavelength=2L

The tension of the rope using equation (v) is given as:

T=v2mL∵μ=mL=2fL2mL=4f2Lm=45Hz2(2m)(1.2kg)=240N=2.4×102N

Therefore, tension in the rope is2.4×102N

05

(c) Determining the equation of the standing wave

The wave number using equation (vi) is given as:

k=2(3.14)2(2m)∵λ=2L=1.57m-1

Since, at t = 0 , the point at x = 1.0 m has zero displacement, this is a sine wave. Its equation is given as:

y=ymsinkxsinÓ¬t=(0.16m)sin1.57m-1xsin31.4radst

Therefore, the standing wave equation for the fundamental mode is

y=(0.16m)sin1.57m-1xsin31.4radst

A sand scorpion can detect the motion of a nearby beetle (its prey) by the waves the motion sends along the sand surface (Figure). The waves are of two types: transverse waves traveling at vt=50m/sand longitudinal waves traveling at vt=50m/s. If a sudden motion sends out such waves, a scorpion can tell the distance of the beetle from the difference localid="1657274843608" tin the arrival times of the waves at its leg nearest the beetle.
