Concept explainers

Stretched string

A stretched string is a wire which is made up of any metal that must have a larger length compared to its thickness. The ends of the wire are fixed, and when they oscillate or are plucked, it produces two reflected transverse waves of the same frequency and same amplitude. The waves or pulses are traveling in alternate directions and superimpose with one another. This waveform is named standing or stationary waves.

Question

If a negative sign appears in front of the wt term with no negative sign in front of kx in the argument of the sinusoidal function for a
transverse wave, in what direction is the wave traveling?
positive direction of the axis
O negative direction of the axis

Consider two sinusoidal sine waves traveling along a string, modeled as y1(x,t)=0.3msin(4m1x3s1t) and y2(x,t)=0.3msin(4m1x+3s1t) . What is the wave function of the resulting wave? [Hint: Use the trig identity sin(uv)=sinucosvcosusinv

(b) What are the period and wavelength of the sound wave?
Check Your Understanding The equations for the wavelengths and the frequencies of the modes of a wave produced on a string: n=2nLn=1,2,3,4,5...andn=nv2L=nf1n=1,2,3,4,5... were derived by considering a wave on a string where there were symmetric boundary conditions of a node at each end. These modes resulted from two sinusoidal waves with identical characteristics except they were moving in opposite directions, confined to a region L with nodes required at both ends.Will the same equations work if there were symmetric boundary conditions with antinodes at each end? What would the normal modes look like for a medium that was free to oscillate on each end? Don’t worry for now if you cannot imagine such a medium, just consider two sinusoidal wave functions in a region of length L, with antinodes on each end.
A transverse wave on a string is modeled with the wave function y(x,t)=(0.20cm)sin(2.00m1x3.00s1t+16) . What is the height of the string with respect to the equilibrium position at a position x=4.00m and a time t=10.00s ?
A traveling wave on a string is modeled by the wave equation y(x,t)=0.30msin(8.00m1x+100.00s1t) . The string is under a tension of 50.00 N and has a linear mass density of =0.008 kg/m. What is the average power transferred by the wave on the string?

A string is tied between two lab posts a distance L apart. The tension in the string and the linear mass density is such that the speed of a wave on the string is v=343 m/s. A tube with symmetric boundary conditions has a length L and the speed of sound in the tube is v=343 m/s. What could be said about the frequencies of the harmonics in the string and the tube? What if the velocity in the string were v=686 m/s ?
Two sinusoidal waves, which are identical except for a phase shift, travel along in the same direction. The wave equation of the resultant wave is yR(x,t)=0.70msin(3.00m1x6.28s1t+/16rad) . What are the angular frequency, wave number, amplitude, and phase shift of the individual waves? .
Check Your Understanding The wave equation 2y(x,t)x2=1v22y(x,t)t2 works for any wave of the form y(x,t)=f(xvt) . In the previous section, we stated that a cosine function could also be used to model a simple harmonic mechanical wave. Check if the wave y(x,t)=0.50mcos(0.20m1x4.00s1t+10) is a solution to the wave equation. Any disturbance that complies with the wave equation can propagate as a wave moving along the x-axis with a wave speed v. It works equally well for waves on a string, sound waves, and electromagnetic waves. This equation is extremely useful. For example, it can be used to show that electromagnetic waves move at the speed of light.
The power versus time for a point on a string (=0.05kg/m) in which a sinusoidal traveling wave is induced is shown in the preceding figure. The wave is modeled with the wave equation y(x,t)=Asin(20.93m1x1t) . What is the frequency and amplitude of the wave?
