Question

A transverse wave is traveling along a string. The drawing represents a section of the string at one instant; at this time, the wave is traveling from left to right. Two segments on the string are labeled A and B. Which of the following statements correctly describes the motion of the particles that comprise the string in segment A and B? a. In segment A the particles are moving downward and in segment B the particles are moving upward. B. In segment A the particles are moving upward and in segment B the particles are moving upward. c. In segment A the particles are moving downward and in segment B the particles are moving downward. d. In segment A the particles are moving upward and in B the particles are moving downward. e. In segment A the particles are moving toward the left and in segment B the particles are moving toward the right. The displacement of a vibrating string versus position along the string at one instant of time is shown below (A and B mark two points on the string). The periodic waves have a speed of 10.0 cm/s. What is the frequency f of this wave? a. 0.60Hz b. 0.90 Hz c. 1.1 Hz d. 1.3 Hz e.

Explanation / Answer

6

a. in segment A particle is moving downwar and segment B particle is moving upward

7

v= 10cm/s

6k = 2pi

k = w/v

w =2pi *f

6*2pi * f/v = 2pi

f =v/6 =10/6 =1.33

option d
