Show that the displacement , where c and d are constants, is a solution to the wave equation. Then find an expression in terms of c and d for the wave speed.
A communications truck with a 44-cm-diameter dish receiver on the roof starts out 10 km from its base station. It drives directly away from the base station at 50 km/h for 1.0 h, keeping the receiver pointed at the base station. The base station antenna broadcasts continuously with 2.5 kW of power, radiated uniformly in all directions. How much electromagnetic energy does the truck鈥檚 dish receive during that 1.0 h?
Show that the displacement D(x, t) = ln(ax + bt) , where a and b are constants, is a solution to the wave equation. Then find an expression in terms of a and b for the wave speed.
A bat locates insects by emitting ultrasonic 鈥渃hirps鈥 and then listening for echoes from the bugs. Suppose a bat chirp has a frequency of 25 kHz. How fast would the bat have to fly, and in what direction, for you to just barely be able to hear the chirp at 20 kHz?
