Consider a string with a length of (47.5 A) cm tied at both end (like on a stringed instrument). If the frequency of the first h

armonic on the string is (245 B) Hz, determine the speed of the wave in the string. Post your answer in m/s and with 3 significant figures.

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to wavelength as a function of frequency and speed, as well as to determine the wavelength as a function of length.

From the harmonic vibration generated we know that the total length of the string will be equivalent to a half of the wavelength, that is

L = \frac{\lambda}{2} \rightarrow \lambda = 2L

Where,

\lambda = Wavelength

Therefore the wavelength for us would be,

\lambda = 2*47.5cm = 95cm = 0.95m

From the relationship of speed, frequency and wavelength we know that

\lambda = \frac{v}{f} \rightarrow v = \lambda f

v = (0.95m)(245Hz)

v = 232.75 m/s

Therefore the speed of the wave is 232.75m/s

A wave pulse traveling to the right along a thin cord reaches a discontinuity where the rope becomes thicker and heavier. What i
Talja [164]

Answer:

the reflected wave is inverted and the transmitted wave is up

Explanation:

To answer this question we must analyze the physical phenomenon, with an wave reaching a discontinuity, we can analyze it as a shock.

Let's start when the discontinuity is with a fixed, very heavy and rigid obstacle, in this case the reflected wave is inverted, since the contact point cannot move

In the event that it collides with an object that can move, the reflected wave is not inverted, this is because the point can rise, they form a maximum at this point.

In the proposed case the shock is when the thickness changes, in this case we have the above phenomena, a part of the wave is reflected by being inverted and a part of the wave is transmitted without inverting.

The amplitude sum of the amplitudes of the two waves is proportional to the lanería that is distributed between them.

When checking the answers the correct one is the reflected wave is inverted and the transmitted wave is up

The situation is impossible mainly because we can't see Figure P6.10 .
It would undoubtedly be the same story on an another planet, until we
see the figure and understand what's going on.

Why should a glass slide and a coverslip be held by the edges?
AleksAgata [21]
THIS IS NOT THE EXACT ANSWER BUT IT MIGHT HELP
The cover slips serves two purposes: (1) it protects the microscope's objective lens from contacting the specimen, and (2) it creates an even thickness (in wet mounts) for viewing.
