You attach two different wave machines (like the “bar” waves from class demo) together. One set is composed of “long” bars and the other is composed of “short” bars. You raise the first bar (located at x=0 m ) on machine 1 a distance of 2.00 cm and then begin to shake it up and down, causing a continuous wave moving to the right, going from machine 1 to machine 2. The point at x = 1.5 meters is where the machines are connected.
A friend watches you with a timer and finds that your hand completes 30 cycles in 5.00 seconds. Another friend takes a photograph (snapshot) of the machines, shown below. You call the time of this snapshot t = 0 seconds
a) find the frequency, wavelength and wave speed for the wave on machine 1
b) find the frequency, wavelength and wave speed for the wave on machine 2

- Two identical guitar strings are prepared such that they have the same length (0.68) and are under the same amount of tension. The first string is plucked at one location, primarily exciting the first harmonic. The other string is plucked in a different location, primarily exciting the fourth harmonic. The resulting sounds give rise to a beat frequency of 324Hz. What is the wave propagation speed on the guitar strings? wave propagation speed: m/sarrow_forwardA train moves along a straight track at v0=30m/s blowing its horn with frequency f0=600Hz. The stationary listener is positioned at the minimum distance from the train, d=40m, as shown in the drawing. A. what is the frequency heard by the listener as a FUNCTION of the trains POSITION. B. Evaluate this frequency if the angle between v0 and the listener's position is 30•, 45•, and 60•arrow_forward?arrow_forward
- HELLOOO, HELP WITH (NUMBER 5 LETTER D) PLEASE, 4 DECIMAL PLACES. COMPLETE SOLUTION, THANK YOUU!arrow_forwardConsider two traveling waves, Wave 1 and Wave 2, each on identical tight strings. Wave 1 has twice the amplitude as Wave 2, but the same frequency and wavelength. Determine the ratio KE1 of kinetic energy of Wave 1 to Wave 2: Ratio = KE2 Caution: This is a Numeric Response problem, you must type in a number as your answer.arrow_forwardA.) The frequency of a vibrating bar is inversely proportional to the SQUARE of its length: f = constant/L2. I have two identical bars, except that one has a length of 36.8 cm and the other a length of 24.2 cm. What is the ratio of the vibrational frequency of the shorter bar to the longer bar? B.)A 0.8 meter length of string in mode number 2 vibrates with a frequency of 385 Hz. What is the velocity of the wave on the stringarrow_forward
- A piece of string AB is 7 m long with end B left free to move. A is vibrated harmoniously up and down so that it travels on a string with a speed of 20 m/s. If the 5th node is 4 m from the origin of the vibration, calculate: a. the wavelength that propagates on the rope b. the frequency of the resulting wavearrow_forwardA sinusoidal wave in a rope is described by the wave function y = 0.20 sin (0.85xx + 22xt) where x and y are in meters and t is in seconds. The rope has a linear mass density of 0.220 kg/m. The tension in the rope is provided by an arrangement like the one illustrated in the figure below. What is the mass of the suspended object? kgarrow_forward
