A stretched string has a mass per unit length of 5.00 g/cm and a tension of 10.0 N. A sinusoidal wave on this string has an ampl

itude of 0.12 mm and a frequency of 100 Hz and is traveling in the negative direction of an x axis. If the wave equation is of the form y(x, t) = ym sin(kx ± ωt), what are (a) ym, (b) k, (c) ω, and (d) the correct choice of sign in front of ω?

Answer:

0.12 mm ; 140.50 rad/m ; 628.32 rad/sec ; +

Explanation:

Given the wave equation of the form :

y(x, t) = ym sin(kx ± ωt)

Mas per unit length (u) = 5 g/cm = (5÷1000)kg / 0.01m) = 0.005kg/0.01m = 0.5kg/m

Tension, T = 10 N

Amplitude, A = 0.12 mm

Frequency, F = 100 Hz

Comparing with the general wave equation :

y = Asin(kx ± ωt)

A = amplitude = ym = 0.12 mm

2.) k = 2π / λ

Recall :

v = fλ

v = sqrt(T/u) = sqrt(10/0.5) = sqrt(20) = 4.472

λ = v/ f = 4.472 / 100 = 0.04472

Hence,

k = (2 * π) / 0.04472

k = 140.50 rad/m

3.) Angular frequency, ω

ω = 2πf = 2 * 3.14 * 100 = 628.32 rad/sec

4.) sign is +ve

Direction of wave propagation as given is in the negative x axis

How fast does a 2 MeV fission neutron travel through a reactor core?
Artemon [7]

Answer:

The answer is 1.956 \times 10^7\ m/s

Explanation:

The amount of energy is not enough to apply the relativistic formula of energy E = mc^2, so the definition of energy in this case is

E = \frac{1}{2}m v^2.

From the last equation,

v= \sqrt{2E/m}

where

E = 2 MeV = 3.204 \times 10^{-13} J

and the mass of the neutron is

m = 1.675\times 10^{-27}\ Kg.

Then

v = 1.956 \times 10^7\ m/s

the equivalent of 0.065 the speed of light.

A scientist directs monochromatic light toward a single slit in an opaque barrier. The light has a wavelength of 580 nm and the
vredina [299]

Answer:

a) 9.72 mm

b) 4.86 mm

Explanation:

wave length of light  λ is  580 nm = 580 \times 10⁻⁹ m

Width of slit d = 0.215\times 10⁻³ m

Distance of screen D  = 1.8 m.

Width of one fringe = \frac{\lambda\times D}{d}

Putting the values we get fringe width

= \frac{580\times10^{-9}\times1.8}{.000315}

=4.86 mm.

a) Width of central maxima = 2 times width of one fringe

= 2 times 4.86

=9.72 mm

b) width of each fringe except central fringe  is same , no matter what the order is.Only brightness changes .

So width of either of the two first order bright fringe will be same and it will be  

= 4.86 mm.
