Chapter 2: Q11DQ (page 496)

Two strings of different mass per unit length 渭1and 渭2are tied together and stretched with a tension F. A wave travels along the string and passes the discontinuity in 渭. Which of the following wave properties will be the same on both sides of the discontinuity, and which will change: speed of the wave; frequency; wavelength? Explain the physical reasoning behind each answer.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The speed and wavelength of the wave changes but the frequency remains the same.

Step by step solution

01

Speed of wave

Tension on string linear mass density is equal to the wave speed.

Because each string's linear mass density is different, the wave's speed will be different as well.

As a result, the speed will vary.

02

Wavelength of wave

The length of a wave is determined by its speed. When the speed of a wave increases, it means that the wave travels further in a given time interval than in the previous circumstance. It accomplishes this by increasing the wavelength. As a result, Wavelength will change.

03

Frequency of wave

The frequency of the wave would remain constant as it moved from one string to another with varied linear mass density. The reason is that as mass per unit length increases, wave speed decreases on decreasing the wavelength and vice versa.

F=惫位

Here, is the velocity and is the wavelength of the wave.

So, the frequency would remain the same.

Small speakers A and B are driven in phase at 725 Hz by the same audio oscillator. Both speakers start out 4.50 m from the listener, but speaker A is slowly moved away (Fig. E16.34). (a) At what distance d will the sound from the speakers first produce destructive interference at the listener鈥檚 location? (b) If A is moved even farther away than in part (a), at what distance d will the speakers next produce destructive interference at the listener鈥檚

A loud factory machine produces sound having a displacement amplitude of 1.00 渭-m, but the frequency of this sound can be adjusted. In order to prevent ear damage to the workers, the maxi mum pressure amplitude of the sound waves is limited to 10.0 Pa. Under the conditions of this factory, the bulk modulus of air is 1.42 x 105 Pa. What is the highest-frequency sound to which this machine can be adjusted without exceeding the prescribed limit? Is this frequency audible to the workers?

Under a tension F, it takes 2.00 s for a pulse to travel the length of a taut wire. What tension is required (in terms of F) for the pulse to take 6.00 s instead? Explain how you arrive at your answer.

Interference of Triangular Pulses. Two triangular wave pulses are traveling toward each other on a stretched string as shown in Fig. E15.32. Each pulse is identical to the other and travels at \(2.00\;{{{\rm{cm}}} \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{{\rm{cm}}} {\rm{s}}}} \right. \\} {\rm{s}}}\). The leading edges of the pulses are \(1.00\;{\rm{cm}}\) apart at \(t = 0\). Sketch the shape of the string at \(t = 0.250\;{\rm{s}}\), \(t = 0.500\;{\rm{s}}\), \(t = 0.750\;{\rm{s}}\), \(t = 1.000\;{\rm{s}}\), and \(t = 1.250\;{\rm{s}}\)

A thin, 75.0cm wire has a mass of 16.5g. One end is tied to a nail, and the other end is attached to a screw that can be adjusted to vary the tension in the wire. (a) To what tension (in newtons) must you adjust the screw so that a transverse wave of wavelength 3.33 cm makes 625 vibrations per second? (b) How fast would this wave travel?
