A pulse is sent traveling along a rope under a tension of 33 N
whose mass per unit length abruptly changes, from 19 kg/m to 44
kg/m. The length of the rope is 3.0 m for the first section and 2.5
m for the second, and the second rope is rigidly fixed to a
wall.
Two pulses will eventually be detected at the origin: the pulse
that was reflected from the medium discontinuity and the pulse that
was originally transmitted, which hits the wall and is reflected
back and transmitted through the first rope. What is the time
difference, Δt, between the two pulses detected at the
origin?

A pulse is sent traveling along a rope under a tension of 36 N whose mass per unit length abruptly changes, from 14 kg/m to 49 kg/m. The length of the rope is 2.3 m for the first section and 2.6 m for the second, and the second rope is rigidly fixed to a wall. Two pulses will eventually be detected at the origin: the pulse that was reflected from the medium discontinuity and the pulse that was originally transmitted,...
A wave pulse traveling to the right along a thin cord reaches a discontinuity where the rope becomes thinner and lighter. What is the orientation of the reflected and transmitted pulses? A) Both pulses are right side up. B) The reflected pulse returns right side up while the transmitted pulse is inverted. C) The reflected pulse returns inverted while the transmitted pulse is right side up. D) Both pulses are inverted.
A sinusoidal wave is travelling on a string under tension T = 8.0(N), having a mass per unit length of 1 = 0.0128(kg/m). It’s displacement function is D(x,t) = Acos(kx - t). It’samplitude is 0.001m and its wavelength is 0.8m. It reaches the end of this string, and continues on to a string with 2 = 0.0512(kg/m) and the same tension as the first string. Give the values of A, k, and , for the original wave, as well as...
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...
