The correct Answer is:
To find the equation of the wave propagating in a homogeneous medium, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify Given Data - Density of the medium, \( p = 200 \, \text{kg/m}^3 \) - Space density of oscillation energy, \( E = 0.16 \pi^2 \, \text{J/m}^3 \) - Maximum shear strain, \( \phi_0 = 8 \pi \times 10^{-5} \) - Phase difference between two particles, \( \Delta \theta = 144^\circ \) ### Step 2: Convert Phase Difference to Radians Convert \( \Delta \theta \) from degrees to radians: \[ \Delta \theta = 144^\circ \times \frac{\pi}{180} = \frac{144 \pi}{180} = \frac{4\pi}{5} \, \text{radians} \] ### Step 3: Calculate Wave Speed The energy density \( E \) is related to the amplitude \( A \), frequency \( f \), and density \( p \) by the formula: \[ E = \frac{1}{2} p A^2 \omega^2 \] where \( \omega = 2 \pi f \). Rearranging gives: \[ A^2 = \frac{2E}{p \omega^2} \] ### Step 4: Relate Shear Strain to Amplitude The maximum shear strain \( \phi_0 \) is given by: \[ \phi_0 = A \omega \] From this, we can express \( A \): \[ A = \frac{\phi_0}{\omega} \] ### Step 5: Calculate Frequency and Angular Frequency Using the wave speed \( v \): \[ v = f \lambda \] We need to find the wavelength \( \lambda \) using the phase difference: \[ \Delta \theta = \frac{2\pi \Delta x}{\lambda} \] Given \( \Delta x = 2 - 1 = 1 \, \text{m} \): \[ \lambda = \frac{2\pi \Delta x}{\Delta \theta} = \frac{2\pi \times 1}{\frac{4\pi}{5}} = \frac{5}{2} = 2.5 \, \text{m} \] Now, using the wave speed: \[ v = \frac{\lambda}{T} = f \lambda \] We can find \( f \): \[ f = \frac{v}{\lambda} = \frac{500}{2.5} = 200 \, \text{Hz} \] And the angular frequency: \[ \omega = 2\pi f = 2\pi \times 200 = 400\pi \, \text{rad/s} \] ### Step 6: Substitute Values into the Wave Equation The general form of the wave equation is: \[ y(x, t) = A \sin(\omega t - kx) \] Where \( k = \frac{2\pi}{\lambda} = \frac{2\pi}{2.5} = \frac{4\pi}{5} \). ### Step 7: Calculate Amplitude Using the relationship between \( A \) and \( \phi_0 \): \[ A = \frac{\phi_0}{\omega} = \frac{8\pi \times 10^{-5}}{400\pi} = 2 \times 10^{-7} \, \text{m} \] ### Step 8: Final Wave Equation Substituting \( A \), \( \omega \), and \( k \) into the wave equation: \[ y(x, t) = 2 \times 10^{-7} \sin(400\pi t - \frac{4\pi}{5} x) \] ### Final Answer The equation of the wave is: \[ y(x, t) = 2 \times 10^{-7} \sin(400\pi t - \frac{4\pi}{5} x) \]

To find the equation of the wave propagating in a homogeneous medium, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify Given Data - Density of the medium, \( p = 200 \, \text{kg/m}^3 \) - Space density of oscillation energy, \( E = 0.16 \pi^2 \, \text{J/m}^3 \) - Maximum shear strain, \( \phi_0 = 8 \pi \times 10^{-5} \) - Phase difference between two particles, \( \Delta \theta = 144^\circ \) ...
