A horizontal wire is stretched with a tension of 94.0 N, and the speed of transverse waves for the wire is 406 m/s. What must the amplitude of a traveling wave of frequency 69.0 Hz be for the average power carried by the wave to be 0.365 W?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The amplitude of a traveling wave of frequency 69.0 Hz be for the average power carried by the wave to be 0.365 W should be 0.0041m.

Step by step solution

01

Determination of the formula of Mechanical Waves

The average power carried by the wave is:

P=12μA2ω2v

Also,

localid="1664344211351" v=Tμμ=Tv2w=2πf

Substitute the values ofμ and w in formula for power we get

P=TA24π2f22v

02

Application of the formula of Mechanical Waves

A=Pv2π2f2TA=0.365×40619.72×4761×94A=0.0401m

Therefore, the amplitude of a traveling wave of frequency 69.0 Hz be for the average power carried by the wave to be 0.365 W should be 0.0041m.

Lane dividers on highways sometimes have regularly

spaced ridges or ripples. When the tires of a moving car roll along

such a divider, a musical note is produced. Why? Explain how this

phenomenon could be used to measure the car’s speed.

The speed of ocean waves depends on the depth of the water; the deeper the water, the faster the wave travels. Use this to explain why ocean waves crest and “break” as they near the shore.

If you stretch a rubber band and pluck it, you hear a (somewhat) musical tone. How does the frequency of this tone change as you stretch the rubber band further? (Try it!) Does this agree with Eq. (15.35) for a string fixed at both ends? Explain.

A violinist is tuning her instrument to concert A (440Hz). She plays the note while listening to an electronically generated tone of exactly that frequency and hears a beat frequency of 3Hz, which increases to 4Hzwhen she tightens her violin string slightly. (a) What was the frequency of the note played by her violin when she heard the3Hz beats? (b) To get her violin perfectly tuned to concert A, should she tighten or loosen her string from what it was when she heard the 3Hzbeats?

A thin, 75.0cm wire has a mass of 16.5g. One end is tied to a nail, and the other end is attached to a screw that can be adjusted to vary the tension in the wire. (a) To what tension (in newtons) must you adjust the screw so that a transverse wave of wavelength 3.33 cm makes 625 vibrations per second? (b) How fast would this wave travel?
