- The wave is a particular type of pulse that can propagate through a large crowd gathered at a sports arena (Fig. P13.54). The elements of the medium are the spectators, with zero position corresponding to their being seated and maximum position corresponding to their standing and raising their arms. When a large fraction of the spectators participates in the wave motion, a somewhat stable pulse shape can develop. The wave speed depends on peoples reaction time, which is typically on the order of 0.1 s. Estimate the order of magnitude, in minutes, of the time interval required for such a pulse to make one circuit around a large sports stadium. State the quantities you measure or estimate and their values.arrow_forwardEquation 16.40 states that at distance r away from a point source with power (Power)avg, the wave intensity is I=(Power)avg4r2 Study Figure 16.25 and prove that at distance r straight in front of a point source with power (Power)avg moving with constant speed vS the wave intensity is I=(Power)avg4r2(vvSv)arrow_forwardReview.

- A wave on a string is driven by a string vibrator, which oscillates at a frequency of 100.00 Hz and an amplitude of 1.00 cm. The string vibrator operates at a voltage of 12.00 V and a current of 0.20 A. The power consumed by the string vibrator is P=IV . Assume that the string vibrator is 90% efficient at converting electrical energy into the energy associated with the vibrations of the string.
