The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the ratio of the amplitude of the transmitted wave to the amplitude of the reflected wave when a traveling wave enters from medium 1 to medium 2, where its speed decreases to 25% of its original speed. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the velocities in both media:** - Let the speed of the wave in medium 1 be \( V_1 \). - The speed of the wave in medium 2 is given as \( V_2 = 0.25 V_1 \) (25% of \( V_1 \)). 2. **Use the formula for the ratio of amplitudes:** - The formula for the ratio of the amplitude of the transmitted wave \( A_t \) to the amplitude of the reflected wave \( A_r \) is given by: \[ \frac{A_t}{A_r} = \frac{2V_2}{V_2 + V_1} \quad \text{(for a wave moving from a medium of higher speed to lower speed)} \] 3. **Substitute the values into the formula:** - Substitute \( V_2 = 0.25 V_1 \) into the formula: \[ \frac{A_t}{A_r} = \frac{2(0.25 V_1)}{(0.25 V_1) + V_1} \] 4. **Simplify the expression:** - The denominator becomes: \[ 0.25 V_1 + V_1 = 0.25 V_1 + 1.00 V_1 = 1.25 V_1 \] - Thus, the ratio becomes: \[ \frac{A_t}{A_r} = \frac{0.5 V_1}{1.25 V_1} \] 5. **Cancel out \( V_1 \):** - Since \( V_1 \) is common in both numerator and denominator, it cancels out: \[ \frac{A_t}{A_r} = \frac{0.5}{1.25} \] 6. **Convert to a simpler fraction:** - Simplifying \( \frac{0.5}{1.25} \): \[ \frac{0.5}{1.25} = \frac{0.5 \times 4}{1.25 \times 4} = \frac{2}{5} \] 7. **Final Result:** - Therefore, the magnitude of the ratio of the amplitude of the transmitted wave to the amplitude of the reflected wave is: \[ \frac{A_t}{A_r} = \frac{2}{5} \] ### Answer: The magnitude of the ratio of the amplitude of the transmitted wave to the amplitude of the reflected wave is \( \frac{2}{5} \).
