(a) Explanation Given info: The speed of the waves is 4.0 m ⋅ s -1 towards cast. The distance between crests is 20.0 m . The boat is at the anchor. Taking eastward as positive, the relative velocity between the wave and the boat is, v w b → = v w w → − v b w → v w b → is the relative velocity of the wave with respect to boat v w w → is the relative velocity of the wave with respect to water v b w → is the relative velocity of the boat with respect to water Substituting v w w → = + 4.0 m ⋅ s -1 and v b w → = 0 , v w b → = + 4 (b) To determine The frequency of the wave when it hits the boat at anchor.

Properties of sound

A sound wave is a mechanical wave (or mechanical vibration) that transit through media such as gas (air), liquid (water), and solid (wood).

Quality Of Sound

A sound or a sound wave is defined as the energy produced due to the vibrations of particles in a medium. When any medium produces a disturbance or vibrations, it causes a movement in the air particles which produces sound waves. Molecules in the air vib…

Categories of Sound Wave

People perceive sound in different ways, like a medico student takes sound as vibration produced by objects reaching the human eardrum. A physicist perceives sound as vibration produced by an object, which produces disturbances in nearby air molecules th…

An electromagnetic wave is traveling through vacuum in the positive x direction. Its electric field vector is given by E=E0sin⁡(kx−ωt)j^,where j^ is the unit vector in the y direction. If B0 is the amplitude of the magnetic field vector, find the complete expression for the magnetic field vector B→ of the wave. What is the Poynting vector S(x,t), that is, the power per unit area associated with the electromagnetic wave described in the problem introduction? Give your answer in terms of some or all of the variables E0, B0, k, x, ω, t, and μ0. Specify the direction of the Poynting vector using the unit vectors i^, j^, and k^ as appropriate.
