Chapter 2: Q19E (page 498)

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?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Hence, the tension in the screw must be adjusted to 9.53N so that transverse wave of wavelength 3.33 cm makes 625 vibrations per second. This wave will travel at a speed of 20.8m/s.

Step by step solution

01

Determination of the formula of Mechanical Waves

To find the tension in wire we can use the dynamic relationship,

v=T渭--(1)

To find the wave speed from the kinematic relationship we can use,

v=f位

02

Calculation of the tension in the screw

The rope's linear mass density is

渭=mropeL=16.5g75.0cm=0.22g/cm

From equation (1):

v=T渭


But we know that

v=f位

Therefore,


f位=T渭

Solve for T and substituting the known values off and lambda:

T=渭f2位2=0.22g/cm625vib/s23.33cm2=9.53脳105g.cm/s2

Since g-cm/s虏=10, then the tension (in newtons) is:

T=9.53N.

03

Calculation of speed of the wave

The wave speed is simply given by

v=f位=625vib/s(3.33脳1m100cm)=20.8m/s

Therefore, v = 20.8 m/s.

Hence, the tension in the screw must be adjusted to 9.53N so that transverse wave of wavelength 3.33 cm makes 625 vibrations per second. This wave will travel at a speed of 20.8m/s.

A sound wave in air at 20掳C has a frequency of 320 Hz and a displacement amplitude of 5.00脳10-3mmFor this sound wave calculate the (a) pressure amplitude (in Pa); (b) intensity W/m2(c) sound intensity level (in decibels).

Two loudspeakers, A and B (see Fig. E16.35), are driven by the same amplifier and emit sinusoidal waves in phase. Speaker B is 2.00 m to the right of speaker A. The frequency of the sound waves produced by the loudspeakers is 206 Hz. Consider a point P between the speakers and along the line connecting them, a distance x to the right of A. Both speakers emit sound waves that travel directly from the speaker to point P. For what values of x will (a) destructive interference occur at P; (b) constructive interference occur at P? (c) Interference effects like those in parts (a) and (b) are almost never a factor in listening to home stereo equipment. Why not?

Question: Energy Delivered to the Ear. Sound is detected when a sound wave causes the tympanic membrane (the eardrum) to vibrate. Typically, the diameter of this membrane is about 8.4 mm in humans. (a) How much energy is delivered to the eardrum each second when someone whispers (20 dB) a secret in your ear? (b) To comprehend how sensitive the ear is to very small amounts of energy, calculate how fast a typical 2.0-mg mosquito would have to fly (in mm/s) to have this amount of kinetic energy.

Question: (a) By what factor must the sound intensity be increased to raise the sound intensity level by 13.0 dB? (b) Explain why you don鈥檛 need to know the original sound intensity.

Interference of Rectangular Pulses. Figure E15.35 shows two rectangular wave pulses on a stretched string traveling toward each other. Each pulse is traveling with a speed of \(1.00\;{{{\rm{mm}}} \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{{\rm{mm}}} {\rm{s}}}} \right. \\} {\rm{s}}}\) and has the height and width shown in the figure. If the leading edges of the pulses are \(8.00\;{\rm{mm}}\) apart at \(t = 0\), sketch the shape of the string at \(t = 4.00\;{\rm{s}}\), \(t = 6.00\;{\rm{s}}\), and \(t = 10.0\;{\rm{s}}\).
