2 In Fig. 16-24, wave 1 consists of a rectangular peak of height 4 units
and width d, and a rectangular valley of depth 2 units and width d. The
wave travels rightward along an x axis Choices 2, 3, and 4 are similar
waves, with the same heights, depths, and widths, that will travel leftward
along that axis and through wave 1. Right-going wave 1 and one of the
left-going waves will interfere as they pass through each other. With
which left-going wave will the interference give, for an instant, (a) the
deepest valley, (b) a flat line, and (c) a flat peak 2d wide?

106 Figure 17-50 shows a transmitter and receiver of waves con-
tained in a single instrument. It is used to measure the speed u of a
target object (idealized as a flat plate) that is moving directly to-
ward the unit, by analyzing the waves reflected from the target.
What is u if the emitted frequency is 18.0 kHz and the detected fre-
quency (of the returning waves) is 22.2 kHz?

waves, of the same frequency
and amplitude, are to be sent in
the positive direction of an x axis
that is directed along a cord un-
der tension. The waves can be

sent in phase, or they can be
phase-shifted. Figure 16-47
shows the amplitude y' of the re-
sulting wave versus the distance of the shift (how far one wave is
shifted from the other wave). The scale of the vertical axis is set
by y', = 6.0 mm. If the equations for the two waves are of the
form y(x, t) = ym sin(kx + wt), what are (a) ym, (b) k, (c) w, and
(d) the correct choice of sign in front of w?

Sound ray 2 extends to D via a reflection (effectively, a "bouncing") of the sound at a flat surface. That reflection occurs on a perpendicular bisector to the SD line, at distance d from the line. Assume that the reflection shifts the sound wave by 0.500A.
