A wave pulse is travelling on a string with a speed v towards the positive X-axis. The shape of the string at t = 0 is given by g(x) = A sin(x /a) , where A and a are constants. (a) What are the dimensions of A and a ? (b) Write the equation of the wave for a general time 1, if the wave speed is v.

A pulse is propagating on a long stretched string along its length taken as positive x-axis. Shape of the string at t = 0 is given by y = sqrt(a^2 - x^2) when |x| lt= a = 0 when |x| gt= a . What is the general equation of pulse after some time 't' , if it is travelling along positive x-direction with speed V?

A wave is propagating along x-axis. The displacement of particles of the medium in z-direction at t=0 is given by : z= exp[-(x+2)^(2)] where 'x' is in meter. At t=1s, the same wave disturbance is given by z=exp[-(x-2)^(2)] . Then the wave propagation velocity is :-

For a wave propagating in the positive x direction the instantaneous displacement of the particle is y=A sin ""(2pi)/T (t-x/v) . What is the significance of the negative sign ? If positive sign is used, what does it represent?

A wave is represented by the equation y = A sin (10 pi x + 15 pi t + pi//3) Where x is in metre and t is in second. a wave travelling in the positive x-direction with a velocity of 1.5 m/s a wave travelling in the negative x-direction with a velocity 1.5 m/s a wave travelling in the negative x-direction with a wavelength of 0.2 m a wave travelling in the positive x-direction with a wavelength 0.2 m

Consider a wave sent down a string in the positive direction whose equation is given is y=y_(0)sin[omega(t-x/v)] The wave is propagated along because each string segment pulls upward and downward on the segment adjacent to it a slightly larger value of x and, as a result does work upon the string segment to which wave is travelling. For example, the portion of string at point A is going upward, and will pull the portion at point B upward as well. In fact, at any point along the string, each segment of the string is pulling on the segment just adjacent and to its right, causing the wagve to propagate. It is by this process that the energy is sent along the string. Now we try to calculate how much energy is propagated down the stirng per second T_(y)=tsintheta~~TtanthetaimpliesT_(y)=-T(dely)/(delx) (The negative sign appears because as shown in the figure II, the slope is negative) the force will act through a distance dy=v_(y)dt=(dely)/(delt) dt Therefore work done by force in time dt is dW=T_(y)dy=-T((dely)/(delx))((dely)/(delt))dtimpliesdW=(omega^(2)y_(0)^(2)T)/vcos^(2)[omega(t-x/V)]dt .....(A) The average power transmitted down the string (i.e. the average energy transfer or sent down it per second) is
