Question

b. In the process of deriving the wave equation in part (a), we derived an expression (2th picture) What does vx stand for? What are the physical meanings of the left-hand-side and right-hand-side of this equation? Using these answers, describe in words the physical meaning of the expression as a whole, as applied to transverse waves on a stretched string.

c. For a transverse traveling wave on a stretched string, what is the relationship, if any, between
the transverse speed of a particle in the string and the speed of the wave? Explain

Explanation / Answer

a. left side is the "acceleration rate" of the magnitude of oscillation as you move along the standing wave (it means if time is stop). right side is the "acceleartion rate" of the magnitude of the oscillation as you stand at one point with reference to time. ------ it is a moving wave i think. ------ energy must be transfer totally. b.the same as above but not acceleration rate, it is speed. ----- sorry that is only i can think of. Hope this help
