Energy can be transferred along a string by wave motion. However, in a standing wave on a string, no energy can ever be transferred past a node. Why not?

Short Answer

Expert verified

There is no transfer of energy in the standing wave passing the node

Step by step solution

01

Kinetic energy concept.

A sort of energy that an element or particle possesses as a result of its movement is known as kinetic energy.

The expression for the kinetic energy can be written as:

KE=12mv2

Here, m is the mass of the object and v is the velocity of the object.

The kinetic energy of an object can be calculated by examining the mass and velocity of the object. It varies linearly with the velocity of the object. Hence, as the object's velocity increases, the object's kinetic energy also increases.

02

 Relation of Transfer of energy with nodes and antinodes.

Energy can be transferred along a string as a result of the wave's motion. However, it is not possible in a standing wave on a string because the two waves that create it would each carry roughly equal amounts of power in various directions.

Standing waves have limited energy mobility from each node to the surrounding antinodes and back, but the average rate of energy transfer is always zero.

Tsunami! On December 26, 2004 , a great earthquake occurred off the coast of Sumatra and triggered immense waves (tsunami) that killed some 200,000 people. Satellites observing these waves from space measured 800 km from one wave crest to the next and a period between waves of 1.0 hour . What was the speed of these waves in m/s and in km/hr? Does your answer help you understand why the waves caused such devastation?

A simple harmonic oscillator at the point x = 0 gener ates a wave on a rope. The oscillator operates at a frequency of 40.0 Hz and with an amplitude of 3.00 cm. The rope has a linear mass density of 50.0 g/m and is stretched with a tension of 5.00 N. (a) Determine the speed of the wave. (b) Find the wavelength. (c) Write the wave function y(x, t) for the wave. Assume that the oscillator has its maximum upward displacement at time t = 0. (d) Find the maximum transverse acceleration of points on the rope. (e) In the discussion of transverse waves in this chapter, the force of gravity was ignored. Is that a reasonable approximation for this wave? Explain.

While sitting in your car by the side of a country road, you are approached by your friend, who happens to be in an identical car. You blow your car’s horn, which has a frequency of 260 Hz. Your friend blows his car’s horn, which is identical to yours, and you hear a beat frequency of 6.0 Hz. How fast is your friend approaching you?

The sound source of a ship’s sonar system operates at a frequency of 18.0 kHz. The speed of sound in water (assumed to be at a uniform 20°C) is 1482 m>s. (a) What is the wavelength of the waves emitted by the source? (b) What is the difference in frequency between the directly radiated waves and the waves reflected from a whale traveling directly toward the ship at 4.95 m/s? The ship is at rest in the water.

Because the speed of ultrasound in bone is about twice the speed in soft tissue, the distance to a structure that lies beyond a bone can be measured incorrectly. If a beam passes through 4cmof tissue, then 2cmof bone, and then another 1cmof tissue before echoing off a cyst and returning to the transducer, what is the difference between the true distance to the cyst and the distance that is measured by assuming the speed is always 1540m/s? Compared with the measured distance, the structure is actually

(a) 1cmfarther

(b) 2cmfarther

(c) 1cmcloser

(d) 2cmcloser
