The diagram below shows the peaks of a traveling circular wave. The first peak that the...
1. On the diagram, mark with a star the position of the source of the wave when it produced the first peak. With a square, mark the position of the source of the wave when it produced its second peak. 2. What is the distance between the star you’ve drawn and the square you’ve drawn, in terms of previously-defined quantities? (Hint: How long did it take the source to cover this distance, and how quickly did it move?) 3. The...
Wave function You are observing a wave traveling along the x-axis. The first picture (y vs. x) shows a snapshot of the wave at t=0. The second picture dy vs. t) shows how the wave height varies in time from the perspective of an observer standing at fixed location x-0. From this information, determine if the wave is traveling to the left or right. Give a one-sentence explanation justifying your answer 2) 3) The wave function for a harmonic (i.e.,...
