Concept explainers
To Describe: The changes that can be made to cause a greater disturbance in a wave generated in a string and a spring.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
The disturbance of the wave depends on the amplitude and frequency of the wave.
The frequency of the wave is the same as the number of disturbances in one second. The amplitude is the same as the disturbances above or below the center of the coil. If the number of disturbances and amplitude,i.e., the disturbance above or below the mean position is varied, then greater disturbance is produced.
Conclusion:
Thus, by increasing the frequency and amplitude, greater disturbance of the wave is produced.
