A sound wave of the form s = sm cos(kx - ωt + φ) travels at 343 m/s through air in a long horizontal tube. At one instant, air molecule A at x = 2.04 m is at its maximum positive displacement of 6.20 nm and air molecule B at x = 2.08 m is at a positive displacement of 2.00 nm. All the molecules between A and B are at intermediate displacements. What is the frequency of the wave?
Maximum positive displacement, Xm = 2/6.2 = 0.323
K[Xb - Xa] = arccos(0.323)
K[2.08 - 2.04] = 1.24 rad
(2 pi/lambda) (0.04) = 1.24 rad
Lambda = 0.203 m
Frequency, f = 343/0.203 = 1692.29 Hz

A traveling sound wave through the air is given by s(x,t) = (9.0nm)cos(kx+(1500 r ad s )t +φ). How long would it take for the air molecule to move between +5.0nm and −5.0nm? Hints: • Note that you are dealing with a function of two variables, x and t. Choose convenient values for s,x, and t to first determine φ. • Assign one of the value for s(t) that is given in the problem, and solve for t. (Keep the...

Consider a wave that is represented by ψ(x, t) = 4 cos (kx − ωt). where k = 2π/λ and ω = 2πf. The aim of the following exercises is to show that this expression captures many of the intuitive features of waves. a) Consider a snapshot of the wave at t = 0. Use the expression to find the possible values of x at which the crests (maximum points) of the wave are located. By what distance are neighboring...
A sinusoidal transverse wave of wavelength 19.0 cm travels along a string in the positive direction of an x axis. The displacement y of the string particle at x = 0 is given in the figure as a function of time t. The scale of the vertical axis is set by ys = 4 cm. The wave equation is to be in the form of y = ym sin(kx - ωt + φ). (a) At t = 0, is a...
