- A seismograph records the S- and P-waves from an earthquake 20.00 s apart. If they traveled the same path at constant wave speeds of vs=4.00 km/s and vp=7.50 km/s, how far away is the epicenter of the earthquake?arrow_forwardStorms in the South Pacific can create waves that travel all the way to the California coast, 12,000 km away. How long does it take them to travel this distance if they travel at 15.0 m/s?arrow_forwardA swimmer in the ocean observes one day that the ocean surface waves are periodic and resemble a sine wave. The swimmer estimates that the vertical distance between the crest and the trough of each wave is approximately 0.45 m, and the distance between each crest is approximately 1.8 m. The swimmer counts that 12 waves pass every two minutes. Determine the simple harmonic wave function that would describes these waves.arrow_forward

(a) If the maximum pressure difference is 1.30 Pa, what is a wave function that would model the sound wave, assuming the wave is sinusoidal? (Assume the phase shift is zero.) (b) What are the period and wavelength of the sound wave?arrow_forwardConsider two wave functions that differ only by a phase shift, y1(x,t)=Acos(kxt) and y2(x,t)=Acos(kxt+) . Use the trigonometric cosu+cosv=2cos(uv2)cos(u+v2) and cos()=cos() to find a wave equation for the wave resulting from the superposition of the two waves. Does the resulting wave function come as a surprise to you?arrow_forward
- Sine waves are sent down a 1.5-m-long string fixed at both ends. The waves reflect back in the opposite direction. The amplitude of the wave is 4.00 cm. The propagation velocity of the waves is 175 m/s. The n=6 resonance mode of the string is produced. Write an equation for the resulting standing wave.arrow_forwardThe 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_forwardPorpoises emit sound waves that they use for navigation.
