Chapter 16: Q. 6 (page 451)

Draw the snapshot graph D(x, t = 0 s) at t = 0 s for the wave shown in FIGURE EX16.6.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The snapshot graph of the wave has been shown

Step by step solution

01

Write the given information 

The history graph of the wave is given at distance x=2m
The velocity of the wave is given as v= 1 m/.sec
The wave is traveling to the right.

02

To draw the snapshot graph of the wave at time t= 0 sec 

A snapshot graph shows the displacement of the wave with respect to the position at a given time whereas a history graph shows the displacement of the wave with respect to the time at a given position.


Analyze the history graph

  • With every second, the wave travels 1-meter to the right
  • In 4 seconds, the wave would travel 4-meters


The snapshot graph is shown below.

A helium-neon laser beam has a wavelength in air of 633 nm. It takes 1.38 ns for the light to travel through 30 cm of an unknown liquid. What is the wavelength of the laser beam in the liquid?

Earthquakes are essentially sound waves鈥攃alled seismic

waves鈥攖raveling through the earth. Because the earth is solid, it can support both longitudinal and transverse seismic waves. The speed of longitudinal waves, called P waves, is 8000 m/s. Transverse waves, called S waves, travel at a slower 4500 m/s. A seismograph records the two waves from a distant earthquake. If the S wave arrives 2.0 min after the P wave, how far away was the earthquake? You can assume that the waves travel in straight lines, although actual seismic waves follow more complex routes.

A sinusoidal wave travels along a stretched string. A particle on the string has a maximum speed of 2.0 m/s and a maximum acceleration of 200 m/s2. What are the frequency and amplitude of the wave?

LASIK eye surgery uses pulses of laser light to shave off tissue

from the cornea, reshaping it. A typical LASIK laser emits a

1.0-mm-diameter laser beam with a wavelength of 193 nm. Each

laser pulse lasts 15 ns and contains 1.0 mJ of light energy.

a. What is the power of one laser pulse?

b. During the very brief time of the pulse, what is the intensity

of the light wave?

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.
