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

You have just been pulled over for running a red light, and

the police officer has informed you that the fine will be \(250. In

desperation, you suddenly recall an idea that your physics professor recently discussed in class. In your calmest voice, you tell the officer that the laws of physics prevented you from knowing that the light was red. In fact, as you drove toward it, the light was Doppler shifted to where it appeared green to you. 鈥淥K,鈥� says the officer, 鈥淭hen I鈥檒l ticket you for speeding. The fine is \)1 for every 1 km/h over the posted speed limit of 50 km/h.< How big is your fine? Use 650 nm as the wavelength of red light and 540 nm as the wavelength of green light.

A distant star system is discovered in which a planet with

twice the radius of the earth and rotating 3.0 times as fast as the

earth orbits a star with a total power output of 6.8脳1029W.

a. If the star鈥檚 radius is 6.0 times that of the sun, what is the

electromagnetic wave intensity at the surface? Astronomers

call this the surface flux. Astronomical data are provided

inside the back cover of the book.

b. Every planet-day (one rotation), the planet receives9.4脳1022J.

of energy. What is the planet鈥檚 distance from its star? Give

your answer in astronomical units (AU), where 1 AU is the

distance of the earth from the sun.

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?
