<u>Answer:</u> The amplitude of the wave is 3 cm

<u>Explanation:</u>

Amplitude is defined as the maximum distance that is moved by a point on a wave which is measured from its equilibrium position. It is equal to the half the length of the vibration path.

In the given figure,

OA is the one half of the distance of the vibration pathway and is the amplitude of the wave.

Distance of OA = 3 cm

Hence, the amplitude of the wave is 3 cm

The amplitude is from the absolute value of the 0 point on the y-axis to the highest(peak) or lowest(troph) point of the wave. In this question, 3cm is the highest and -3cm is the lowest, so the amplitude is 3cm.

A piano tuner sounds two strings simultaneously. One has been previously tuned to vibrate at 293.0 Hz. The tuner hears 3.0 beats

Answer:

Part a)

$f_B = 290 Hz$

Part B)

percentage increase is

$percentage = 1.38$ %

Explanation:

Part a)

As we know that the beat frequency is

$f_A - f_B = 3$

after increasing the tension the beat frequency is decreased and hence the tension in string B will increase

So we have

$293 - f_B = 3$

$f_B = 290 Hz$

Part B)

percentage increase in the tension of the string will be given as

$f_A - f_B' = 1$

$f_B' = 292 Hz$

now we have

$f = \frac{1}{2L}\sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}}$

so we have

$T_1 = C (290)^2$

$T_2 = C(292)^2$

so we have

$\frac{\Delta T}{T} = \frac{292^2 - 290^2}{290^2}$

percentage increase is

$percentage = 1.38$
