Indicate true or false in each of the following statements:
Transverse waves oscillate parallel to the wave velocity.
Frequency is inversely proportional to wavelength, wave speed
constant.
The intensity of sound from a point source decreases as a square of
the distance from the source.
Sound waves are mechanical waves.
The speed of sound on a string is proportional to the tension in
the string.
Homework Answers
a)
false
transverse waves oscillate parallel to the wave velocity
b)
frequency is inversely proportional to wavelength
f = c / lambda
so it is true
c)
there is inverse square law
I = 1 / r^2
so this is true The intensity of sound from a point source decreases as a square of the distance from the source.
d)
yes , sound waves are mechanical waves
e)
False, The speed of sound on a string is proportional to the SQUARE ROOT of tension in the string.

Consider a transverse harmonic wave travelling along a string. Enter true (T) or false (F) for the following statements. For example, if the first statement is true and the rest false, enter TFF. You have 4 tries. Increasing the frequency of the wave increases its wavelength. Increasing the amplitude of the wave increases its wavelength. If a wave with a frequency of 10 Hz travels along a string with a mass per unit length of 40 g/m stretched to a...

3. [1pt] Consider the phase speed of transverse waves on a wire, with the changes listed below. Answer `true' (T), `false' (F), or `cannot tell' (C) to each of the five statements. E.g., if the answer to the first statement is T and to the rest, F, enter TFFFF. If the tension in the wire is doubled, the phase speed of the transverse wave doubles. If the tension is increased and the mass of the wire is decreased (assuming the...

Consider a transverse harmonic wave travelling on a string. Enter true (T) or false (F) for the following statements. For example, if the first statement is true and the rest false, enter TFF. You have 4 tries. Decreasing the tension in the string decreases the phase speed. Decreasing the mass density of the string decreases the phase speed. When the amplitude of the wave is decreased, the phase speed decreases.
