The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the total energy transferred through the origin in the time interval from \( t = 0 \) to \( t = \frac{\pi}{12\omega} \) for the traveling wave described by the equation \( y = A \sin(\omega t - kx) \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Wave Equation**: The wave equation is given as: \[ y = A \sin(\omega t - kx) \] Here, \( A \) is the amplitude, \( \omega \) is the angular frequency, and \( k \) is the wave number. 2. **Calculate the Velocity of the Wave**: The velocity \( v \) of the wave can be derived from the wave equation. The velocity of a wave on a string is given by: \[ v = \frac{\partial y}{\partial t} = A\omega \cos(\omega t - kx) \] 3. **Determine the Instantaneous Power**: The instantaneous power \( P \) transmitted by the wave is given by: \[ P = \frac{1}{2} \mu v \omega^2 \] Substituting \( v \) into the power equation: \[ P = \frac{1}{2} \mu (A \omega \cos(\omega t - kx)) \omega^2 = \frac{1}{2} \mu A \omega^3 \cos(\omega t - kx) \] 4. **Calculate Total Energy Transferred**: The total energy \( E \) transferred through the origin from \( t = 0 \) to \( t = \frac{\pi}{12\omega} \) can be calculated by integrating the power over time: \[ E = \int_0^{\frac{\pi}{12\omega}} P \, dt = \int_0^{\frac{\pi}{12\omega}} \frac{1}{2} \mu A \omega^3 \cos(\omega t - kx) \, dt \] 5. **Evaluate the Integral**: The integral can be evaluated as follows: \[ E = \frac{1}{2} \mu A \omega^3 \int_0^{\frac{\pi}{12\omega}} \cos(\omega t - kx) \, dt \] The integral of \( \cos \) can be computed: \[ \int \cos(\omega t - kx) \, dt = \frac{1}{\omega} \sin(\omega t - kx) \] Thus, \[ E = \frac{1}{2} \mu A \omega^3 \left[ \frac{1}{\omega} \sin(\omega t - kx) \right]_0^{\frac{\pi}{12\omega}} \] 6. **Substituting the Limits**: Evaluating the limits: \[ E = \frac{1}{2} \mu A \omega^3 \left( \frac{1}{\omega} \left( \sin\left(\frac{\pi}{12} - kx\right) - \sin(-kx) \right) \right) \] Simplifying gives: \[ E = \frac{1}{2} \mu A \omega^2 \left( \sin\left(\frac{\pi}{12} - kx\right) + \sin(kx) \right) \] ### Final Answer: The total energy transferred through the origin in the time interval from \( t = 0 \) to \( t = \frac{\pi}{12\omega} \) is: \[ E = \frac{1}{2} \mu A \omega^2 \left( \sin\left(\frac{\pi}{12} - kx\right) + \sin(kx) \right) \]
