What do mechanical waves carry?

1 answer:

7 0

A mechanical wave is a wave that is not capable of transmitting its energy through a vacuum. Mechanical waves require a medium in order to transport their energy from one location to another. A sound wave is an example of a mechanical wave.

What are (a) the lowest frequency, (b) the second lowest frequency, and (c) the third lowest frequency for standing waves on a w

Tatiana [17]

Answer:

$a. \ f_1=7.9057Hz\\\\b. \ f_2=15.8114Hz\\\\c. \ f_3=23.7171Hz$

Explanation:

a. The wire's length is 10m long and has a mass 100g and a tension of 250N.

Frequency is given by the equation:

$f=\frac{nv}{2L}\\\\=\frac{n}{2L}\sqrt{\frac{t}{\mu}$ #where t=250N*10=2500N, $\mu=0.1kg$

#substitute for actual values for the lowest frequency.

$F=\frac{n}{2\times 10m}\times \sqrt{2500N/0.1kg}\\=\frac{1}{2\times 10m}\times \sqrt{2500N/0.1kg}\\=7.9057Hz$ #n=1, lowest frequency

Hence, the lowest frequency for standing waves is 7.9057Hz

b.The wire's length is 10m long and has a mass 100g and a tension of 250N.

Frequency is given by the equation:

$f=\frac{nv}{2L}\\\\=\frac{n}{2L}\sqrt{\frac{t}{\mu}$ #where t=250N*10=2500N, $\mu=0.1kg$

#The second lowest frequency happens at $n=2$ :

$F=\frac{n}{2\times 10m}\times \sqrt{2500N/0.1kg}\\=\frac{2}{2\times 10m}\times \sqrt{2500N/0.1kg}\\=15.8114Hz$

Hence, the second lowest frequency is 15.8114Hz

c.Given that the wire's length is 10m long and has a mass 100g and a tension of 250N.

Frequency is given by the equation:

$f=\frac{nv}{2L}\\\\=\frac{n}{2L}\sqrt{\frac{t}{\mu}$ #where t=250N*10=2500N, $\mu=0.1kg$

The third lowest frequency happens at $n=3$

$F=\frac{n}{2\times 10m}\times \sqrt{2500N/0.1kg}\\=\frac{3}{2\times 10m}\times \sqrt{2500N/0.1kg}\\=23.7171Hz$

Hence, the third lowest frequency is 23.7171Hz

Problem: The frequency of an FM radio station is 89.3 MHz. Calculate its period. Part B: From the Library, select the general eq

vekshin1

Answer:

Time period, $T=1.11\times 10^{-8}\ s$

Explanation:

We have,

The frequency of an FM radio station is 89.3 MHz.

It is required to find the period of the wave.

The reciprocal of frequency is called time period of a wave. It can be given by :

$T=\dfrac{1}{f}\\\\T=\dfrac{1}{89.3\times 10^{6}\ Hz}\\\\T=1.11\times 10^{-8}\ s$

So, the period of the wave is $1.11\times 10^{-8}\ s$ .
