A transverse sinusoidal wave of wavelength 20 cm is moving along a string towards increasing x. The transverse displacement of the string particle at as a function of time is shown in Figure.
The equation of the wave with all the constants evaluated is:

A

`y=(4.0cm)sin((pi)/(10)x-(pi)/(5)t),x` in cm and t in sec.

B

`y=(4.0cm)sin((pi)/(10)x+(pi)/(5)t),x` in cm and t in sec

C

`y=(4.0cm)sin((pi)/(10)x-(pi)/(5)t+pi)`, x in cm and t in sec

D

`y=(4.0cm)cos((pi)/(10)x-(pi)/(5)t+pi),x` in cm and t in sec

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

From the given graph:
`A=4cm,T=10s `
`therefore`Equation of wave `y=(4cm)sin((2pi)/(20)x-(2pi)/(10)t+phi),x` in cm, t in sec

A sinusoidal wave is propagating along a streched string that lies along the x-axis. The displacement of the string as a function of time is graphed in for particles at x-0 and at x=0.0900 m. (a) what is the amplitude of the wave? (b)what is the period of the wave? (c ) you are told that the two points x=0 and x=0.0900 m are within one wavelength of each other. if the wave is moving in the +x-direction, determine the wavelength and the wave speed. (d) if instead the wave is moving in the -x-direction, determine the wavelength and the wave speed. (e) would it be possible to derermine definitely the wavelength in parts (c ) and (d) if you were not told that the two points were within one wavelength of each other? why ot why not?

One end of a long string of linear mass density 10^(-2) kg m^(-1) is connected to an electrically driven tuning fork of frequency 150 Hz. The other end passes over a pulley and is tied to a pan containig a mass of 90 kg. the pulley end absorbs all the incoming energy so that reflected waves from this end have neglidible amplitude , At t =0, the left end (fork end ) of the string is at x=0 has a transverse displacement of 2.5 cm and is moving along positive y-direction. the amplitude of the wave is 5 cm. write down the transverse displacement y (in cetimetres) as function of x(in metres) and t (in seconds ) that describes the wave on the string.
