Chapter 16: Q. 8 (page 451)

FIGURE EX16.8 is a picture at t = 0 s of the particles in a medium as a longitudinal wave is passing through. The equilibrium spacing between the particles is 1.0 cm. Draw the snapshot graph D (x, t = 0 s) of this wave at t = 0 s.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The snapshot graph of the wave is shown.

Step by step solution

01

Write the given information

The equilibrium space between each particle is 1 cm
The position of the particles is given when a longitudinal wave passes through the medium at a time t=0 sec

02

 Step 2: To draw the snapshot graph of the wave at time t= 0 sec

  • Draw the original position of the particle with the equilibrium spacing between them
  • Draw the change in the position of the particles when the wave passes
  • If the particle is moved towards the left, the displacement is negative, and if the position of the particle is towards the right then the displacement is considered positive

The snapshot graph of the wave is given below

One cue your hearing system uses to localize a sound (i.e., to

tell where a sound is coming from) is the slight difference in the

arrival times of the sound at your ears. Your ears are spaced

approximately 20 cm apart. Consider a sound source 5.0 m from

the center of your head along a line 45 to your right. What is the

difference in arrival times? Give your answer in microseconds.

Hint: You are looking for the difference between two numbers that are nearly the same. What does this near equality imply about the necessary precision during intermediate stages of the calculation?

Oil explorers set off explosives to make loud sounds, then listen for the echoes from underground oil deposits. Geologists suspect that there is oil under 500-m-deep Lake Physics. It鈥檚 known that Lake Physics is carved out of a granite basin. Explorers detect a weak echo 0.94 s after exploding dynamite at the lake surface. If it鈥檚 really oil, how deep will they have to drill into the granite to reach it?

An avant-garde composer wants to use the Doppler effect in his new opera. As the soprano sings, he wants a large bat to fly toward her from the back of the stage. The bat will be outfitted with a microphone to pick up the singer鈥檚 voice and a loudspeaker to rebroadcast the sound toward the audience. The composer wants the sound the audience hears from the bat to be, in musical terms, one half-step higher in frequency than the note they are hearing from the singer. Two notes a half-step apart have a frequency ratio of 21/12 = 1.059. With what speed must the bat fly toward the singer?

FIGURE P16.45 is a history graph at x = 0 m of a wave traveling in the positive x-direction at 4.0 m/s. a. What is the wavelength? b. What is the phase constant of the wave? c. Write the displacement equation for this wave.

Figure Q16.4 shows a snapshot graph and a history graph for a wave pulse on a stretched string. They describe the same wave from two perspectives.

a. In which direction is the wave traveling? Explain.

b. What is the speed of this wave?
