Chapter 16: Q. 8 (page 450)

FIGURE Q16.8 is a snapshot graph of a sinusoidal wave at t = 1.0 s. What is the phase constant of this wave?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The phase constant of the wave is 90 degrees.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Write the given information.

The snapshot of the sinusoidal wave at time t=1.0s

The speed of the wave is v= 1m/s

02

Step 2. To determine the phase constant of the wave

The phase constant of the wave describes the initial condition of the wave.

In the screenshot graph, it can be observed that the phase constant is 蟺2

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.
