Chapter 2: Q12E (page 498)

Speed of Propagation vs. Particle Speed. (a) Show that Eq. (15.3) may be written as

\(y\left( {x,t} \right) = Acos\left[ {\frac{{2\pi }}{\lambda }\left( {x - vt} \right)} \right]\)

(b) Use \(y\left( {x,t} \right)\) to find an expression for the transverse velocity \({v_y}\)of a particle in the string on which the wave travels. (c) Find the maximum speed of a particle of the string. Under what circumstances is this equal to the propagation speed \(v\) ? Less than\(v\)? Greater than\(v\)?

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) \(y\left( {x,t} \right) = Acos\left[ {\frac{{2\pi }}{\lambda }\left( {x - vt} \right)} \right]\)

Step by step solution

01

Given data

Wave function for a sinusoidal wave propagation in +x-direction is

\(y\left( {x,t} \right) = A\cos \left[ {\omega \left( {\frac{x}{v} - t} \right)} \right]\,{\rm{ }}{\rm{. }}{\rm{. }}{\rm{. (15}}{\rm{.3)}}\)

02

Concept/ Formula used

\(\frac{\lambda }{T} = \lambda f = v\)

Where,\(\lambda \)is wavelength

\(f\)Is frequency and\(v\)is wave speed.

03

Derive equation \(y\left( {x,t} \right) = Acos\left[ {\frac{{2\pi }}{\lambda }\left( {x - vt} \right)} \right]\)

(a)

\(\begin{aligned}{l}Acos2\pi \left( {\frac{x}{\lambda } - \frac{t}{T}} \right)\\ = + Acos\frac{{2\pi }}{\lambda }\left( {x - \frac{\lambda }{T}t} \right)\\ = + Acos\frac{{2\pi }}{\lambda }\left( {x - vt} \right)\end{aligned}\)

Where, \(\frac{\lambda }{T} = \lambda f = v\)

\(\therefore y\left( {x,t} \right) = Acos\left[ {\frac{{2\pi }}{\lambda }\left( {x - vt} \right)} \right]\)

A car alarm is emitting sound waves of frequency 520 Hz. You are on a motorcycle, traveling directly away from the parked car. How fast must you be traveling if you detect a frequency of 490 Hz?

An ant with mass \(m\) is standing peacefully on top of a horizontal, stretched rope. The rope has mass per unit length \(\mu \) and is under tension \(F\).Without warning, Cousin Throckmorton starts a sinusoidal transverse wave of wave-length \(\lambda \) propagating along the rope. The motion of the rope is in a vertical plane. What minimum wave amplitude will make the ant become momentarily weightless? Assume that \(m\) is so small that the presence of the ant has no effect on the propagation of the wave.

DATA Supernova! (a) Equation (16.30) can be written as fr=fs(1鈥�vc)12(1+vc)12

where c is the speed of light in vacuum3.0脳108m/s. Most objects move much slower than this (v/c is very small), so calculations made with Eq. (16.30) must be done carefully to avoid rounding errors. Use the binomial theorem to show that if v, Eq. (16.30) approximately reduces tofr=fs(1-vc). (b) The gas cloud known as the Crab Nebula can be seen with even a small telescope. It is the remnant of a supernova, a cataclysmic explosion of a star. (The explosion was seen on the earth on July 4,1054 C.E.) Its streamers glow with the characteristic red colour of heated hydrogen gas. In a laboratory on the earth, heated hydrogen produces red light with frequencyrole="math" localid="1668146026646" 4.568脳1014Hz; the red light received from streamers in the Crab Nebula that are pointed toward the earth has frequency4.568脳1014HzEstimate the speed with which the outer edges of the Crab Nebula are expanding. Assume that the speed of the centre of the nebula relative to the earth is negligible. (c) Assuming that the expansion speed of the Crab Nebula has been constant since the supernova that produced it, estimate the diameter of the Crab Nebula. Give your answer in meters and in light-years. (d) The angular diameter of the Crab Nebula as seen from the earth is about 5 arc-minutes(1arc鈥�min160degree)Estimate the distance (in light-years) to the Crab Nebula, and estimate the year in which the supernova actually, took place.

Question: Standing sound waves are produced in a pipe that is 1.20 m long. For the fundamental and first two overtones, determine the locations along the pipe (measured from the left end) of the displacement nodes and the pressure nodes if

(a) the pipe is open at both ends and

(b) the pipe is closed at the left end and open at the right end.

The portion of the string of a certain musical instrument between the bridge and upper end of the finger board (that part of the string that is free to vibrate) is \(60.0\;{\rm{cm}}\) long, and this length of the string has mass \(2.00\;{\rm{g}}\). The string sounds an \({A_4}\) note (\(440\;{\rm{Hz}}\)) when played.

(a) Where must the player put a finger (what distance x from the bridge) to play a \({D_5}\) note (\(587\;{\rm{Hz}}\))? (See Fig. E15.45.) For both the \({A_4}\) and \({D_5}\) notes, the string vibrates in its fundamental mode.

(b) Without retuning, is it possible to play a \({G_4}\) note (\(392\;{\rm{Hz}}\)) on this string? Why or why not?
