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?

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. Standing Wave Ratio for total reflection is
  2. Standing Wave Ratio for no reflection is 1
  3. R (reflection coefficient) for Standing Wave Ratio = 1.50 is 4.0%.

Step by step solution

Identification of given data

  1. Interference pattern is given as:SWR=A+BA-B
  2. The reflection coefficient,RBA2

Significance of standing waves

Two waves that are travelling in opposite directions but have the same amplitude and frequency are combined to form a standing wave, also known as a stationary wave. We can find the Standing Wave Ratio for total reflection and no reflection by inserting the values of A and B in the given formula for Standing Wave Ratio.We can write an expression for R in terms of the Standing Wave Ratio using the given formulae. Then inserting values in it we can easily get R in percentage.

(a) Determining the Standing Wave Ratio for total reflection

In case of the total reflection, amplitude of the incident wave is equal to the amplitude of reflected wave, i.e, A = B

SWR=A+BA-B=A+AA-A=2A0=

Therefore, SWR for total reflection is

04

(b) Determining the Standing Wave Ratio for no reflection

In case of no reflection, amplitude of the reflected wave is zero.

i.e, B = 0

SWR=A+BA-B=A+0A-0=AA=1

Therefore, SWR for no reflection is 1

05

(c) Determining the reflection coefficient for the SWR= 1.50

We have been given that the reflection coefficient as:

RBA2R=BA

Again, the standing waveratiois given as:

SWR=A+BA-B=1+BA1-BA=1+R1-R

By componendo-dividendo theorem, we can write

SWR+1SWR-1=1+R+1-R1+R-1-RSWR+1SWR-1=22R=1RR=SWR-1SWR+1R=SWR-1SWR+12

Ifthen the value of reflection coefficient is given as:

R=1.50-11.50+12=0.502.502=0.04%R=0.04100=4.0%

Therefore, R (reflection coefficient) for SWR = 1.50 is 4.0 % .

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.

Use the wave equation to find the speed of a wave given by -

y(x,t)=(3.0mm)sin[(4.00m-1)x(7.00s-1)t].

In Figure 16-36 (a), string 1 has a linear density of 3.00 g/m, and string 2 has a linear density of 5.00 g/m. They are under tension due to the hanging block of mass M = 500 g. (a)Calculate the wave speed on string 1 and (b) Calculate the wave speed on string 2. (Hint:When a string loops halfway around a pulley, it pulls on the pulley with a net force that is twice the tension in the string.) Next the block is divided into two blocks (with M1+M2=M) and the apparatus is rearranged as shown in Figure (b). (c) Find M1and (d) Find M2such that the wave speeds in the two strings are equal.

If a transmission line in a cold climate collects ice, the increased diameter tends to cause vortex formation in a passing wind. The air pressure variations in the vortexes tend to cause the line to oscillate (gallop), especially if the frequency of the variations matches a resonant frequency of the line. In long lines, the resonant frequencies are so close that almost any wind speed can set up a resonant mode vigorous enough to pull down support towers or cause the line to short outwith an adjacent line. If a transmission line has a length of 347 m, a linear density of 3.35 kg/m, and a tension of 65.2 MN. What are (a) the frequency of the fundamental mode and (b) the frequency difference between successive modes?

A single pulse, given byh(x-5.0t)is shown 1in Fig. 16-45 for t=0. The scale of the vertical axis is set byhs=2. Here xis in centimeters and tis in seconds. What are the (a) speed and (b) direction of travel of the pulse? (c) Ploth(x-5t)as a function of xfor t=2 s. (d) Ploth(x-5t)as a function of tfor x=10 cm.
