A sinusoidal transverse wave travel on a string. The string has length \(8.00\;{\rm{m}}\) and mass \(6.00\;{\rm{g}}\). The wave speed is \(30.0\;{\rm{m/s}}\) and the wavelength is \(0.200\;{\rm{m}}\).

(a) If the wave is have an average power of \(50.0\;{\rm{W}}\), what must be the amplitude of the wave?

(b) For this same string, if the amplitude and wavelength are the same as in part (a), what is the average power for the wave if the tension is increased such that the wave speed is doubled?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Thus, (a) the amplitude of the wave is 7.07 cm.

Step by step solution

01

(a) Given in the question

Mass of string \(m = 6.00\;{\rm{g}}\).

Length of string \(L = 8.00\;m\)

Speed of wave \(v = 30.0\;{\rm{m/s}}\).

Wavelength is \(\lambda = 0.2\;{\rm{m}}\)

02

Use formula of Amplitude of the wave

The formula of power is:

\(\begin{array}{l}P = \rho {\omega ^2}{A^2}Sv\\A = \frac{1}{\omega }\sqrt {\frac{{2P}}{{\rho Sv}}} \end{array}\).

Here,\(\rho S = \mu \)is mass per unit length.

03

Calculate the amplitude of the wave

The angular velocity is calculated as follows:

\(\begin{array}{c}\omega = 2\pi f\\ = \frac{{2\pi v}}{\lambda }\\ = \frac{{2\pi }}{{0.2}} \times 30\end{array}\)

Also, calculate the mass per unit length as follows:

\(\begin{array}{c}\mu = \rho S\\ = \frac{{6 \times {{10}^{ - 3}}}}{8}{\rm{kg/m}}\end{array}\)

Substitute these values in the formula of amplitude of the wave gives:

\(\begin{array}{c}A = \frac{{0.2}}{{2\pi \times 30}}\sqrt {\frac{{2 \times 50 \times 8}}{{6 \times {{10}^{ - 3}} \times 30}}} \\ = 0.0707\;m\\ = 7.07\;cm\end{array}\)

Thus, the amplitude of the wave is 7.07 cm.

15.4. BIO Ultrasound Imaging. Sound having frequencies above the range of human hearing (about 20,000 Hz) is called ultrasound. Waves above this frequency can be used to penetrate the body and to produce images by reflecting from surfaces. In a typical ultrasound scan, the waves travel through body tissue with a speed of 1500 m/s . For a good, detailed image, the wavelength should be no more than 1.0 mm. What frequency sound is required for a good scan?

For transverse waves on a string, is the wave speed the same as the speed of any part of the string? Explain the difference between these two speeds. Which one is constant?

A long, closed cylindrical tank contains a diatomic gas that is maintained at a uniform temperature that can be varied. When you measure the speed of sound v in the gas as a function of the temperature T of the gas, you obtain these results:

(a) Explain how you can plot these results so that the graph will be well fit by a straight line. Construct this graph and verify that the plotted points do lie close to a straight line. (b) Because the gas is diatomic, g = 1.40. Use the slope of the line in part (a) to calculate M, the molar mass of the gas. Express M in grams/mole. What type of gas is in the tank?

If the deepest structure you wish to image is 10.0cm from the transducer, what is the maximum number of pulses per second that can be emitted? (a) 3850; (b) 7700; (c) 15400; (d) 1,000,000 .

The Sacramento City Council adopted a law to reduce the allowed sound intensity level of the much-despised leaf blowers from their current level of about 95 dB to 70 db. With the new law, what is the ratio of the new allowed intensity to the previously allowed intensity?
