Chapter 16: Q. 7 (page 451)

Draw the snapshot graph D (x, t = 1.0 s) at t = 1.0 s for the wave shown in FIGURE EX16.7.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The snapshot graph of the wave is shown.

Step by step solution

01

Write the given information

The history graph of the wave is given at distance x= 0 m
The velocity of the wave is given as v = 1 m/.sec
The wave is traveling to the left.

02

 Step 2: To draw the snapshot graph of the wave at time t= 1.0 sec

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

Analyze the history graph

  • With every second, the wave travels 1-meter to the left
  • In 6 seconds, the wave would travel 6-meters

The snapshot graph is shown below.

Most popular questions from this chapter

A sinusoidal wave travels along a stretched string. A particle on the string has a maximum speed of 2.0 m/s and a maximum acceleration of 200 m/s2. What are the frequency and amplitude of the wave?

String 1 in FIGURE P16.47 has linear density 2.0 g/m and string 2 has linear density 4.0 g/m. A student sends pulses in both directions by quickly pulling up on the knot, then releasing it. What should the string lengths L1 and L2 be if the pulses are to reach the ends of the strings simultaneously?

One cue your hearing system uses to localize a sound (i.e., to

tell where a sound is coming from) is the slight difference in the

arrival times of the sound at your ears. Your ears are spaced

approximately 20 cm apart. Consider a sound source 5.0 m from

the center of your head along a line 45 to your right. What is the

difference in arrival times? Give your answer in microseconds.

Hint: You are looking for the difference between two numbers that are nearly the same. What does this near equality imply about the necessary precision during intermediate stages of the calculation?

The G string on a guitar is a 0.46-mm-diameter steel string

with a linear density of 1.3 g/m. When the string is properly

tuned to 196 Hz, the wave speed on the string is 250 m/s. Tuning

is done by turning the tuning screw, which slowly tightens—and

stretches—the string. By how many mm does a 75-cm-long G

string stretch when it’s first tuned?

A 25 g string is under 20 N of tension. A pulse travels the length of the string in 50 ms. How long is the string?
