The distance between adjacent nodes in a standing wave pattern in a length of string is 25.0 cm:A. What is the wavelength of wave in the string?B. If the frequency of vibration is 200 Hz, calculate the velocity of the wave.

Respuesta :

A) 50 cm

B) 10000 cm/s

Explanation

Step 1

A)

If you know the distance between nodes and antinodes then use this equation:

[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{\lambda}{2}=D \\ \text{where}\lambda\text{ is the wavelength} \\ D\text{ is the distance betw}een\text{ nodes} \end{gathered}[/tex]

then, let

[tex]D=\text{ 25 cm }[/tex]

now, replace to find the wavelength

[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{\lambda}{2}=25 \\ \text{Multiply both sides by 2} \\ \frac{\lambda}{2}\cdot2=25\cdot2 \\ \lambda=50\text{ Cm} \end{gathered}[/tex]

so, the wavelength is

A) 50 cm

Step 2

The speed of a wave can be found using the equation

[tex]v=\lambda f[/tex]

or velocity = wavelength x frequency,

then,let

[tex]\begin{gathered} \lambda=50\text{ cm} \\ f=200\text{ Hz} \end{gathered}[/tex]

replace and evaluate

[tex]\begin{gathered} v=\lambda f \\ v=50\text{ cm }\cdot200\text{ HZ} \\ v=10000\text{ }\frac{\text{cm}}{s} \end{gathered}[/tex]

so

B) 10000 cm/s

I hope this helps you
