Chapter 16: Q. 4 (page 451)

Draw the history graph D(x = 4.0 m, t) at x = 4.0 m for the wave shown in FIGURE EX16

Short Answer

Expert verified

The history graph is shown

Step by step solution

01

Write the given information

The snapshot graph of the wave is given at time t =2 sec and x= 4.0m
The velocity of the wave is v = 1m/s
The wave is traveling from left to right

02

To draw the history graph of the wave at x=4 m 

A snapshot graph shows the displacement of the wave with respect to the position at a given time.
A history graph shows the displacement of the wave with respect to the time at a given position.

Analyze the snapshot graph

  • With every second, the wave travels 1-meter to the right
  • The wave would travel 4-meters in 4 seconds

The history graph is shown below.

Your ears are sensitive to differences in pitch, but they are not very sensitive to differences in intensity. You are not capable of detecting a difference in the sound intensity level of less than 1 dB. By what factor does the sound intensity increase if the sound intensity level increases from 60 dB to 61 dB?

Rank in order, from largest to smallest, the wavelengths ฮปa,ฮปbandฮปcfor sound waves having frequencies fa=100Hz,fb=1000Hz,andfc=10,000Hz. Explain.

A loudspeaker, mounted on a tall pole, is engineered to emit 75% of its sound energy into the forward hemisphere, 25% toward the back. You measure an 85 dB sound intensity level when standing 3.5 m in front of and 2.5 m below the speaker. What is the speakerโ€™s power output?

A wire is made by welding together two metals having different densities. FIGURE P16.59 shows a 2.00-m-long section of wire centered on the junction, but the wire extends much farther in both directions. The wire is placed under 2250 N tension, then a 1500 Hz wave with an amplitude of 3.00 mm is sent down the wire. How many wavelengths (complete cycles) of the wave are in this 2.00-m-long section of the wire?

You are standing at x = 0 m, listening to a sound that is emitted at frequency f0. The graph of FIGURE Q16.12 shows the frequency you hear during a 4-second interval. Which of the following describes the sound source? Explain your choice.

A. It moves from left to right and passes you at t = 2 s.

B. It moves from right to left and passes you at t = 2 s.

C. It moves toward you but doesnโ€™t reach you. It then reverses direction at t = 2 s.

D. It moves away from you until t = 2 s. It then reverses direction and moves toward you but doesnโ€™t reach you
