Question
Chapter 14, Problem 57A
To determine
The difference between wave frequency and wave velocity.
Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 57A
Wave frequency and wave velocity are two different characteristics of the waves. Frequency refers to the number of cycles per unit time, whereas wave velocity refers to the speed and direction involved in the propagation of the wave.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
Wave velocity is basically the travelling speed of the wave. The velocity of the wave is equal to the product of wavelengthand also the frequency but it is independent of its intensity. It is given by the formula
The number of waves that passes through a given fixed point in unit time is called as the wave frequency. It can be calculated by counting the number of crests that passes in one second or other period of time.
The frequency of wave is defined as the number of waves which are produced in a given period of time. The wave has a series of crest and troughs which repeat themselves and from a wave. The number of such crest and trough formed in unit time is called the frequency of the wave.Frequency of a wave is calculated by counting the number of crest and troughs that passes through a given point in per second.
The wave velocity is defined as the distance which is traveled by a periodic motion in per unit time.The velocity of a wave is equal to the product of wavelength and is not dependent on its intensity.
Conclusion:
Wave velocity is the directional speed of the wave and frequency is the number of periodic cycles completed in unit time.

- Truck suspensions often have "helper springs" that engage at high loads. One such arrangement is a leaf spring with a helper coil spring mounted on the axle, as shown in the figure below. When the main leaf spring is compressed by distance yo, the helper spring engages and then helps to support any additional load. Suppose the leaf spring constant is 5.05 × 105 N/m, the helper spring constant is 3.50 × 105 N/m, and y = 0.500 m.
