The correct Answer is:
To prove the relations \( A_r = \frac{v_2 - v_1}{v_1 + v_2} A_i \) and \( A_t = \frac{2v_2}{v_1 + v_2} A_i \) using the principle of energy conservation, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Power of Waves The power of a wave is given by the formula: \[ P = \frac{1}{2} \mu \omega^2 A^2 v \] where: - \( P \) is the power, - \( \mu \) is the linear mass density, - \( \omega \) is the angular frequency, - \( A \) is the amplitude, - \( v \) is the velocity of the wave. ### Step 2: Set Up the Power Equations For the incident wave in the first medium: \[ P_i = \frac{1}{2} \mu_1 \omega^2 A_i^2 v_1 \] For the reflected wave in the first medium: \[ P_r = \frac{1}{2} \mu_1 \omega^2 A_r^2 v_1 \] For the transmitted wave in the second medium: \[ P_t = \frac{1}{2} \mu_2 \omega^2 A_t^2 v_2 \] ### Step 3: Apply the Energy Conservation Principle According to the principle of energy conservation, the power of the incident wave must equal the sum of the powers of the reflected and transmitted waves: \[ P_i = P_r + P_t \] Substituting the expressions for power: \[ \frac{1}{2} \mu_1 \omega^2 A_i^2 v_1 = \frac{1}{2} \mu_1 \omega^2 A_r^2 v_1 + \frac{1}{2} \mu_2 \omega^2 A_t^2 v_2 \] ### Step 4: Simplify the Equation We can cancel out the common terms \( \frac{1}{2} \omega^2 \) from both sides: \[ \mu_1 A_i^2 v_1 = \mu_1 A_r^2 v_1 + \mu_2 A_t^2 v_2 \] ### Step 5: Relate Densities to Velocities Using the relationship between the linear mass density and wave velocity: \[ \mu_1 = \frac{T}{v_1^2} \quad \text{and} \quad \mu_2 = \frac{T}{v_2^2} \] Substituting these into the equation gives: \[ \frac{T}{v_1^2} A_i^2 v_1 = \frac{T}{v_1^2} A_r^2 v_1 + \frac{T}{v_2^2} A_t^2 v_2 \] Cancelling \( T \) and \( v_1 \) from both sides: \[ \frac{A_i^2}{v_1} = \frac{A_r^2}{v_1} + \frac{A_t^2 v_2}{v_2^2} \] ### Step 6: Rearranging the Equation Rearranging gives: \[ A_i^2 = A_r^2 + \frac{A_t^2 v_1}{v_2} \] ### Step 7: Use the Relationship Between Amplitudes We know that: \[ A_i = A_r + A_t \] Substituting this into the equation: \[ (A_r + A_t)^2 = A_r^2 + \frac{A_t^2 v_1}{v_2} \] ### Step 8: Solve for \( A_r \) and \( A_t \) From the equations derived, we can isolate \( A_r \) and \( A_t \): 1. From the equation \( A_i^2 = A_r^2 + A_t^2 \) and substituting \( A_t = A_i - A_r \), we can derive the expressions for \( A_r \) and \( A_t \). ### Final Relations After substituting and simplifying, we arrive at: \[ A_r = \frac{v_2 - v_1}{v_1 + v_2} A_i \] \[ A_t = \frac{2v_2}{v_1 + v_2} A_i \]

To prove the relations \( A_r = \frac{v_2 - v_1}{v_1 + v_2} A_i \) and \( A_t = \frac{2v_2}{v_1 + v_2} A_i \) using the principle of energy conservation, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Power of Waves The power of a wave is given by the formula: \[ P = \frac{1}{2} \mu \omega^2 A^2 v \] where: ...
