The correct Answer is:
To find the displacement amplitude of vibration at a point 10 cm from the open end of an organ pipe, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Problem We have an organ pipe with sound waves propagating through it. The displacement amplitude of the incident and reflected waves is given as \(0.002 \, \text{cm}\), the frequency is \(1000 \, \text{Hz}\), and the wavelength is \(40 \, \text{cm}\). We need to find the displacement amplitude at a point \(10 \, \text{cm}\) from the open end of the pipe. ### Step 2: Convert Units Convert the displacement amplitude from centimeters to meters for consistency in calculations: \[ 0.002 \, \text{cm} = 0.00002 \, \text{m} \] ### Step 3: Write the Equation for Stationary Waves The equation for stationary waves in an open organ pipe is given by: \[ y(x, t) = 2a \cos\left(\frac{2\pi x}{\lambda}\right) \sin(2\pi ft) \] Where: - \(y\) is the displacement at position \(x\) and time \(t\), - \(a\) is the amplitude of the incident wave, - \(\lambda\) is the wavelength, - \(f\) is the frequency. ### Step 4: Substitute Known Values Here, the amplitude \(a\) is \(0.00002 \, \text{m}\), the wavelength \(\lambda\) is \(40 \, \text{cm} = 0.4 \, \text{m}\), and we want to find the displacement at \(x = 10 \, \text{cm} = 0.1 \, \text{m}\). Substituting these values into the equation: \[ y(0.1, t) = 2(0.00002) \cos\left(\frac{2\pi (0.1)}{0.4}\right) \sin(2\pi (1000)t) \] ### Step 5: Calculate the Cosine Term Calculate the cosine term: \[ \frac{2\pi (0.1)}{0.4} = \frac{2\pi}{4} = \frac{\pi}{2} \] Thus, \[ \cos\left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right) = 0 \] ### Step 6: Final Calculation Since the cosine term is zero, the displacement amplitude at \(x = 0.1 \, \text{m}\) is: \[ y(0.1, t) = 2(0.00002)(0) \sin(2\pi (1000)t) = 0 \] ### Conclusion The displacement amplitude of vibration at a point \(10 \, \text{cm}\) from the open end inside the pipe is: \[ \boxed{0 \, \text{m}} \] ---
