You are holding one end of an elastic cord that is fastened to a wall 3.0 m away. You begin shaking the end of the cord at 2.3 H

Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

Time take to fill the standing wave to the entire length of the string is 1.3 sec.

Explanation:

Given :

The length of the one end $x=$ $3m$ , frequency of the wave $f$ = 2.3 Hz, wavelength of the wave λ = 1 m.

Standing wave is the example of the transverse wave, standing wave doesn't transfer energy in a medium.

We know,

∴ $v = f$ λ

Where $v =$ speed of the standing wave.

also, ∴ $v=\frac{x}{t}$

where $t =$ time take to fill entire length of the string.

Compare above both equation,

⇒ $t =$ $\frac{3}{2.3}$ sec

$t = 1.3sec$

Therefore, the time taken to fill entire length 0f the string is 1.3 sec.

You yell into a canyon. You hear the echo in 3 seconds. How long did the sound of your voice travel before bouncing off a cliff?

Lilit [14]

Answer:

The sound travelled 516 meters before bouncing off a cliff.

Explanation:

The sound is an example of mechanical wave, which means that it needs a medium to propagate itself at constant speed. The time needed to hear the echo is equal to twice the height of the canyon divided by the velocity of sound. In addition, the speed of sound through the air at a temperature of 20 ºC is approximately 344 meters per second. Then, the height of the canyon can be derived from the following kinematic formula:

$2\cdot h = v\cdot t$ (1)
