Four traveling waves are described by the following equations, where all quantities are measured in SI units and y represents th

e displacement. I: y = 0.12 cos(3x - 21t) II: y = 0.15 sin(6x + 42t) III: y = 0.13 cos(6x + 21t) IV: y = -0.27 sin(3x - 42t) Which of these waves have the same period?

Answer:

T_1=T_3=\dfrac{2\pi}{21}

T_2=T_4=\dfrac{2\pi}{42}

Explanation:

Wave 1, y_1=0.12\ cos(3x-21t)

Wave 2, y_2=0.15\ sin(6x+42t)

Wave 3, y_3=0.13\ cos(6x+21t)

Wave 4, y_4=-0.27\ sin(3x-42t)

The general equation of travelling wave is given by :

y=A\ cos(kx\pm \omega t)

The value of \omega will remain the same if we take phase difference into account.

For first wave,

\omega_1=21

\dfrac{2\pi }{T_1}=21

T_1=\dfrac{2\pi}{21}

For second wave,

\omega_2=42

\dfrac{2\pi }{T_2}=42

T_2=\dfrac{2\pi}{42}

For the third wave,

\omega_3=21

\dfrac{2\pi }{T_3}=21

T_3=\dfrac{2\pi}{21}

For the fourth wave,

\omega_4=42

\dfrac{2\pi }{T_4}=42

T_4=\dfrac{2\pi}{42}

It is clear from above calculations that waves 1 and 3 have same time period. Also, wave 2 and 4 have same time period. Hence, this is the required solution.

What are the answers please help
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

a.) The main scale reading is 10.2cm

b.) Division 7 = 0.07

c.) 10.27 cm

d.)  10.31 cm

e.)  10.24 cm  

Explanation:

The figure depicts a vernier caliper readings

a.) The main scale reading is 10.2 cm

The reading before the vernier scale

b.) Division 7 = 0.07

the point where the main scale and vernier scale meet

c.) The observed readings is

10.2 + 0.07 = 10.27 cm

d.) If the instrument has a positive zero error of 4 division

correct reading = 10.27 + 0.04 = 10.31cm

e.)  If the instrument has a negative zero error of 3 division

correct reading = 10.27 - 0.03 = 10.24cm

What is the difference between a mechanical wave and an electromagnetic wave
ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

1. Electromagnetic waves travel in a vacuum whereas mechanical waves do not.

2. The ripples made in a pool of water after a stone is thrown in the middle are an example of mechanical wave. Examples of electromagnetic waves include light and radio signals.

3. Mechanical waves are caused by wave amplitude and not by frequency. Electromagnetic Waves are produced by vibration of the charged particles.

4. While an electromagnetic wave is called just a disturbance, a mechanical wave is considered a periodic disturbance.
