Power is to be transmitted along a stretched wire by means of transverse harmonic waves. The wave speed is 10 mls and the linear mass density of the wire is 0.01 kg/m. The power source oscillates with an amplitude of 0.50 mm. (a) What average power is transmitted along the wire if the frequency is 400 Hz? (b) The power transmitted can be increased by increasing the tension in the wire, the frequency of the source, or the amplitude of the waves. By how much would each of these quantities have to increase to cause an increase in power by a factor of 100 if it is the only quantity changed? (c) Which of the quantities would probably be the easiest to vary?

The ionosphere is the ionized part of the upper layer of the earth's atmosphere. The air molecules there are ionized by solar radiation. This layer of the atmosphere is a fairly good conductor, and radio waves are often "bounced" off the bottom of the ionosphere back toward the earth, in a process called skip or skywave propagation. Due to these properties, the space between the surface of the earth and the bottom of the ionosphere acts like a closed wave guide that will exhibit resonance for very low frequencies. Resonance excitations in the cavity are caused by lightning strikes, which hit the earth about 50 to 100 times a second. These low atmospheric resonance frequencies are known as Schumann resonances, named after the physicist Winfried Otto Schumann, who first calculated them in 1952. There are several Schumann frequencies that occur in the low frequency background, which ranges from 3 to 60 Hz. The highest intensity resonance mode (called the fundamental) occurs at 7.83 Hz.…

A taut rope is tied to a machine that causes it to oscillate sinusoidally. You take a picture of the rope and see that at that moment there are four complete cycles along 10m. If the oscillator frequency is 20HZ, find: a) The wave number b) The angular frequency c) If at time t = Os, the height of the wave is Om when x = 0m, find the phase shift of the oscillation. d) If at time t = Os, the transverse velocity is 250m / s when x = Om, find the amplitude of the oscillation. e) Write the wave function that describes the behavior of this wave.

For testing purposes, a musical instrument manufacturing company creates a device so that when you blow into one end with your instrument, sound comes out the other end in opposite directions. A sound technician uses a whistle and generates sound waves with a frequency of 242 Hz. The waves travel in opposite directions in a band room, are reflected by end walls, and return. The band room is 44.0 m long and the whistle is located 14.0 m from one end. What is the phase difference (in degrees) between the reflected waves when they meet at the source of the sound? The speed of sound in air is 343 m/s.
