Wave-1 Exercises 2

This document contains summaries of problems involving waves on strings. Problem 11 asks about the amplitude of a resultant wave formed from two waves with a phase difference of π/2. Problem 47 asks about the phase constant of a 7 mm amplitude wave given that it combines with a 5 mm wave to form a 9 mm amplitude resultant wave. Problem 20 asks about the frequency and wavelength of the third harmonic of a string when the tension is increased by a factor of 4.

Exercises Waves - I

1
Pb. 11

Two identical traveling waves, moving in the same direction, are


out of phase by /2 rad. What is the amplitude of the resultant
wave in terms of the common amplitude ym of the two combining
waves?

Solution of Pb. 11:


Pb. 47
Two sinusoidal waves of the same period, with amplitudes of 5.0
and 7.0 mm, travel in the same direction along a stretched
string; they produce a resultant wave with an amplitude of 9.0
mm. The phase constant of the 5.0 mm wave is 0. What is the
phase constant of the 7.0 mm wave?

Solution of Pb. 47:

Ym2


Pb. 20
A string under tension i oscillates in the third harmonic at
frequency f3, and the waves on the string have wavelength 3. If the
tension is increased to f = 4 i and the string is again made to
oscillate in the third harmonic, what then are:
a. the frequency of oscillation in terms of f3 and
b. the wavelength of the waves in terms of 3?

Solution of Pb. 20:


Pb. 3

A string fixed at both ends is 8.40 m long and has a mass of


0.120 kg. It is subjected to a tension of 96.0 N and set
oscillating.
a. What is the speed of the waves on the string?
b. What is the longest possible wavelength for a standing
wave?
c. Give the frequency of that wave.
