    Help with transverse wave motion question

    Trying to start my homework and stuck on this first problem... A point mass M is concentrated at a point on a string of characteristic impedance pc. A transverse wave of frequency w moves in the positive x direction and is partially reflected and transmitted at the mass. The boundary...

    Transverse Wave Velocity (speed)

    Prof gave us this equation and question: The equation of a transverse wave traveling in a rope is: y=10sin*pi(0.01x-2.00t) He said that x and y are expressed in cm, and time in seconds. We are to: A. find the amplitude, frequency(Hz), velocity(cm) and wavelength(cm) of the wave. B...

    Solving the Transverse Wave on a Rope: Tension and Force

    The transverse displacement of an harmonic wave on a stretched rope is y = 0.04 cos(2.5 t - 3.3 x), where x and y are in meters and t is in seconds. A 5 meter length of this rope has a mass of 1.5 kg. a) What is the tension in the rope? b) At time t = 0, consider a 1/2 wavelength long...

    What is the period of a standing transverse wave on a flexible string?

    The diagram represents a snapshot of a standing transverse wave on a flexible string taken when the displacement is at a maximum. The string is 1.34 m long with tension 6 N. The total mass of the string is 12.22 g. Find the period of the oscillation. The diagram is unlabeled. it just shows...
