Question

A wave traveling in the positive x-direction is pictured in Figure (b). Find the amplitude, wavelength, speed, and period of the wave if it has a frequency of 17.5 Hz. In the figure, x = 73.5 cm and y = 25.0 cm.

Find the amplitude, wavelength, speed, and period of the wave if it has a frequency of 17.5 Hz. In the figure, ?x = 73.5 cm and ?y = 25.0 cm. A = m lambda = m v = m/s T = s

Explanation / Answer

a)
A = 0.15 m

= 0.44 m

v = 8.35 * 0.44 = 3.674 m/s

T = /v = 0.44/3.674 = 0.12 seconds

b)

A = 0.25 m

= 0.735 m

v = 17.5 * 0.735 = 12.86 m/s

T = /v = 0.735 / 12.86 = 0.0572 seconds
