Answer:
a) v = 0.9167 m / s, b) A = 0.350 m, c) v = 0.9167 m / s, d) A = 0.250 m
Explanation:
a) to find the velocity of the wave let us use the relation
v = λ f
the wavelength is the length that is needed for a complete wave, in this case x = 5.50 m corresponds to a wavelength
λ = x
λ = x
the period is the time for the wave to repeat itself, in this case t = 3.00 s corresponds to half a period
T / 2 = t
T = 2t
period and frequency are related
f = 1 / T
f = 1 / 2t
we substitute
v = x / 2t
v = 5.50 / 2 3
v = 0.9167 m / s
b) the amplitude is the distance from a maximum to zero
2A = y
A = y / 2
A = 0.700 / 2
A = 0.350 m
c) The horizontal speed of the traveling wave (waves) is independent of the vertical oscillation of the particles, therefore the speed is the same
v = 0.9167 m / s
d) the amplitude is
A = 0.500 / 2
A = 0.250 m
We are given with
distance traveled through vacuum = 1.0 m
refractive index of water = 1.33
refractive index of glass = 1.50
refractive index of diamond = 2.42
distance traveled through water is = 1.0/1.33 = 0.75 m
distance traveled through water is = 1.0/1.50 = 0.67 m
distance traveled through water is = 1.0/2.42 = 0.41 m
