The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the time \( t \) at which the energy of vibration of the string is completely potential. This occurs when the displacement of the wave is at its maximum, which corresponds to the cosine term in the wave equation being equal to either \( +1 \) or \( -1 \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Wave Equation**: The standing wave equation is given by: \[ y = A \sin(kx) \cos(\omega t + \frac{\pi}{3}) \] Here, \( A = 1 \, \text{cm} \), \( \omega = 100\pi \, \text{rad/s} \). 2. **Condition for Maximum Displacement**: For the energy to be completely potential, the displacement \( y \) must be at a maximum. This occurs when: \[ \cos(\omega t + \frac{\pi}{3}) = \pm 1 \] This means: \[ \omega t + \frac{\pi}{3} = n\pi \quad (n \in \mathbb{Z}) \] 3. **Rearranging the Equation**: Rearranging gives: \[ \omega t = n\pi - \frac{\pi}{3} \] Thus: \[ t = \frac{n\pi - \frac{\pi}{3}}{\omega} \] 4. **Substituting the Value of \( \omega \)**: Substitute \( \omega = 100\pi \): \[ t = \frac{n\pi - \frac{\pi}{3}}{100\pi} \] Simplifying this gives: \[ t = \frac{n - \frac{1}{3}}{100} \] 5. **Finding Specific Values of \( t \)**: Now we can find specific values of \( t \) for different integers \( n \): - For \( n = 0 \): \[ t = \frac{0 - \frac{1}{3}}{100} = -\frac{1}{300} \, \text{s} \quad (\text{not valid}) \] - For \( n = 1 \): \[ t = \frac{1 - \frac{1}{3}}{100} = \frac{2/3}{100} = \frac{2}{300} = \frac{1}{150} \, \text{s} \] - For \( n = 2 \): \[ t = \frac{2 - \frac{1}{3}}{100} = \frac{6/3 - 1/3}{100} = \frac{5/3}{100} = \frac{5}{300} = \frac{1}{60} \, \text{s} \] - For \( n = 3 \): \[ t = \frac{3 - \frac{1}{3}}{100} = \frac{9/3 - 1/3}{100} = \frac{8/3}{100} = \frac{8}{300} = \frac{2}{75} \, \text{s} \] - For \( n = 4 \): \[ t = \frac{4 - \frac{1}{3}}{100} = \frac{12/3 - 1/3}{100} = \frac{11/3}{100} = \frac{11}{300} \, \text{s} \] ### Final Answer: The times \( t \) at which the energy is completely potential are: - \( t = \frac{1}{150} \, \text{s} \) - \( t = \frac{1}{60} \, \text{s} \) - \( t = \frac{2}{75} \, \text{s} \) - \( t = \frac{11}{300} \, \text{s} \)
