Consider the phase speed of transverse waves on a wire, with the changes listed below. Answer `true' (T), `false' (F), or `cannot tell' (C) to each of the five statements.
E.g., if the answer to the first statement is T and to the rest, F, enter TFFFF.


  2. If the mass of the wire is doubled and the tension and length remain the same, the phase speed of the transverse wave decreases by a factor of 2.
  3. If the tension in the wire is doubled, the phase speed of the transverse wave doubles.
  4. If the tension is doubled and the mass of the wire is doubled (assuming the length remains the same), then the phase speed remains the same.
  5. If the tension is increased and the length of the wire is increased (assuming the mass remains the same), then the phase speed increases.
  6. If the length of the wire increases by a factor of 2 and the tension and mass remain the same, the phase speed of the transverse wave increases by a factor of square root of 2.

A transverse wave propagates in a very long wire of mass per unit length 4*10^-3 kg/m and under tension of 360 N. An observer next to the wire notices 10 wave peaks (or crests) passing her in a time of 2 seconds moving to the left. a) If at t=0 and x=0 the displacement assumes its maximum value of 1mm, what is the explicit equation for the wave? b) Calculate the maximum longitudinal velocity for an infinitesimal segment of the...

The waves that stay in the middle by reflecting and changing phase, without canceling out, are called standing waves because they take shape that does not vary with time. 6- The set of free frequencies in which a system can vibrate is known as natural frequencies. 7- Transverse waves in the string vibrate to the medium in the direction of wave propagation. The wavelength vs frequency graph has the form of? A- straight line B- circle C- Parable D- Square...

1.). Two sinusoidal waves are moving through a medium in the same direction, both having amplitudes of 4.00 cm, a wavelength of 3.50 m, and a period of 6.25 s, but one has a phase shift of an angle φ. What is the phase shift (in rad) if the resultant wave has an amplitude of 4.00 cm? Hint: Use the trig identity 2.). Consider two sinusoidal sine waves traveling along a string, modeled as y1(x, t) = (0.2 m)sin[(6 m−1)x...

A. A uniform wire is made from material with an average mass density of ρ=3,044kg/m3, a radius of 1.26 mm, and a length of 0.63m. The wire is held under a tension of 11.2 N. Transverse waves are sent down the wire. What is the speed of the waves through the wire in m/s? Assume 3 significant figures B. A mass on a spring is undergoing simple harmonic motion in the x-direction with an amplitude of 0.86 m and a...

10. [1pt] Consider a transverse harmonic wave travelling along a string. Enter true (T) or false (F) for the following statements. For example, if the first statement is true and the rest false, enter TFF. You have 4 tries. Increasing the amplitude of the wave increases its frequency. If a wave with a frequency of 10 Hz travels along a string with a mass per unit length of 40 g/m stretched to a tension of 100 N, its wavelength is...

Consider a shallow-water wave of length 1.5km propagating in an ocean that is 62.5m deep . The speed of the wave is 25m/s and the period T= 60 sec . a) Now suppose that this wave propagates into a region in which there is a current of strength U that opposes the wave propagation. Explain how this modifies the dispersion relation and the wave speed. b) Assuming that the wave’s frequency ω remains constant, create a plot of the wavelength...
