The mathmaticaly form of three travelling waves are given by
`Y_(1)=(2 cm) sin (3x-6t)`
`Y_(2)=(3 cm) sin (4x-12t)`
And `Y_(3)=94 cm) sin(5x-11t)`
of these waves,

A

Wave 1 has greatest wave speed and greatest maximum transverse string speed

B

wave 2 has greatest wave speed and wave 1 has greatest maximum transverse string speed

C

wave 3 has greatest wave speed and wave 1 has greatest maximum transverse string speed

D

wave 2 has greatest wave speed and wave 3 has greatest maximum transverse string speed

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
d
For the wave, `y=A sin (kx-omegat)`,the wave speed is `omega//k` and the maximum transvers string speed is `Aomega`.

Three traveling sinusoidal waves are on identical strings. with the same tension. The mathematical forms of the waves are y_1(x,t) =y_(m) sin(3x- 6t), y_2(x,t)= y_m sin(4x - 8t), and y_(3) (x,t) sin(6x-12t), where x is in meters and t is in seconds. Match each mathematical form to the appropriate graph below:

Find the resultant amplitude and the phase difference between the resultant wave and the first wave , in the event the following waves interfere at a point , y_(1) = ( 3 cm) sin omega t , y_(2) = ( 4 cm) sin (omega t + (pi)/( 2)), y_(3) = ( 5 cm ) sin ( omega t + pi)
