Concept explainers

Stretched string

A stretched string is a wire which is made up of any metal that must have a larger length compared to its thickness. The ends of the wire are fixed, and when they oscillate or are plucked, it produces two reflected transverse waves of the same frequency and same amplitude. The waves or pulses are traveling in alternate directions and superimpose with one another. This waveform is named standing or stationary waves.

Suppose a bat uses sound echoes to locate its insect prey, 3.00 m away. (See Figure 17.6.) (a) Calculate the echo times for temperatures of 5.00°C and 35.0°C. (b) What percent uncertainty does this cause for the bat in locating the insect? (c) Discuss the significance of this uncertainty and whether it could cause difficulties for the bat. (In practice, the bat continues to use sound as it closes in, eliminating most of any difficulties imposed by this and other effects, such as motion of the prey.)

Check Your Understanding The wave equation 2y(x,t)x2=1v22y(x,t)t2 works for any wave of the form y(x,t)=f(xvt) . In the previous section, we stated that a cosine function could also be used to model a simple harmonic mechanical wave. Check if the wave y(x,t)=0.50mcos(0.20m1x4.00s1t+10) is a solution to the wave equation. Any disturbance that complies with the wave equation can propagate as a wave moving along the x-axis with a wave speed v. It works equally well for waves on a string, sound waves, and electromagnetic waves. This equation is extremely useful. For example, it can be used to show that electromagnetic waves move at the speed of light.
