उत्तर १
(a) Yes; Speed = 20 m/s, Direction = Right to left
(b) 3 cm; 5.73 Hz
(c) `pi/4`
(d) 3.49 m
Explanation:
(a) The equation of a progressive wave travelling from right to left is given by the displacement function:
y (x, t) = a sin (ωt + kx + Φ) … (i)
The given equation is:
`y(x,t) = 3.0 sin (36t + 0.018 x + pi/4)` ...(ii)
On comparing both the equations, we find that equation (ii) represents a travelling wave, propagating from right to left.
Now, using equations (i) and (ii), we can write:
ω = 36 rad/s and k = 0.018 m–1
We know that:
`v = omega/(2pi)` and `lambda = (2pi)/k`
Also
= νλ
`:. v = (omega/2pi) xx ((2pi)/k) = omega/k`
`= 36/0.018 = 2000 "cm/s" = 20 "m/s"`
Hence, the speed of the given travelling wave is 20 m/s.
b) Amplitude of the given wave, a = 3 cm
Frequency of the given wave:
`v =omega/(2pi) = 36/(2xx3.14)= 5.73 "Hz"`
(c) On comparing equations (i) and (ii), we find that the initial phase angle, `phi = pi/4`
(d) The distance between two successive crests or troughs is equal to the wavelength of the wave.
Wavelength is given by the relation: k = `(2pi)/lambda`
`:. lambda = (2pi)/k = (2xx3.14)/(0.018) = 348.89 cm = 3.49 m`
उत्तर २
The given equation is y(x,t) = `3.0 sin (36t + 0.018x + pi/4)` , where x and y are in cm and t in s.
a) The equation is the equation of a travelling wave, travelling from right to left (i.e along -ve direction of x because it is an equation of the type )
`y(x,t) = A sin(omegat + kx + phi)`
Here A = 3.0 cm, `omega = 36 "rad s"^(-1)`, k = 0.018 cm and `phi = pi/4`
:. Speed of wave propagation,
`v = omega/k = (36 " rad s"^(-1))/(0.018 cm^(-1)) = (36 "rad s"^(-1))/(0.018 xx 10^2 "ms^(-1)) = 20 ms^(-1)`
b) Amplitude of wave, A = 3.0 cm = 0.03 m
Frequency of wave `v = omega/(2pi) = 36/(2pi) = 5.7` Hz
c) Initial phase at the origin, `phi = pi/4`
d) Least distance between two successive crests in the wave
`= lambda = (2pi)/k = (2pi)/0.018`
= 349 cm = 3.5 m
