Let x ( t ) propogating
in +ve x direction
and x ( t ) is propogating
in -ve x direction
They will form standing wavw if both are Identical and are travelling in opposite direction.
take x ( t ) = A sin ( wt - kx )
and x ( t ) = A sin ( wt + kx )
A - Amplitude of wave
W - Angular frequency
K - Wave Number
Resultant wave x ( t ) + x ( t )
= A sin ( wt - kx ) + A sin ( wt + kx )
= A [ sin ( wt - kx ) + sin (wt + kx ) ]
expand using
Amplitude is given by
but k is wave number given by k =
allowed wave lengths.
Find all the possible wavelengths allowed by boundary conditions for standing waves along the>x direction. Note...
12. A longitudinal standing wave can be created in a long, thin aluminum rod by stroking the rod with very dry fingers. This is often done as a physics demonstration, creating a high-pitched, very annoying whine. From a wave perspective, the standing wave is equivalent to a sound standing wave in an open-open tube. In particular, both ends of the rod are anti-nodes. What is the fundamental frequency of a 2.50 m -long aluminum rod? The speed of sound in...
please answer all pre-lab questions 1 through 5. THANK YOU!!! this is the manual to give you some background. the pre-lab questions.. the pre-lab sheet. Lab Manual Lab 10: String Waves & Resonance Before the lab, read the theory in Sections 1-3 and answer questions on Pre-lab Submit your Pre-lab at the beginning of the lab. During the lab, read Section 4 and follow the procedure to do the experiment. You will record data sets, perform analyses, answer questions, and...
question 4-7 4. Travelling Waves and Their Characteristics A rope wave travels in the positive x -direction. You are also told that the speed of the wave is 1000 cm/s, its frequency is 200 Hz, and that the wave is subject to the following initial conditions: at x 0 and t = 0: y =-1 cm, and, at x = 0 and t : ar = +20 cm/s (this is the velocity of the point on the rope at horizontal...
All changes saved A Point of Release Equilibrium Position - Equilibrium- Position Point of A sphere of mass mi, which is attached to a spring, is displaced downward from its equilibrium position as shown above left and released from rest. A sphere of mass m2, which is suspended from a string of length I, is displaced to the right as shown above right and released from rest so that it swings as a simple pendulum with small amplitude. Assume...
