    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...

    Is the Transverse Doppler Effect Dependent on General Relativity?

    I saw in a chapter on special relativity a derivation of the transverse Doppler effect, which seemed okay, but I have a question concerning this: If the motion of a source is always perpendicular to the position vector connecting the observer to the moving source (i.e. the distance remains...

    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...

    Solving Wave Properties and Displacements: Transverse Waves on a String

    Here's my question (parts a-c are correct, but I need help with d and e): Transverse waves on a string have a wave speed 8 m/s, amplitude .09 m, and a wavelength .38 m. The waves travel in the -x direction, and at t=0 the x=0 end of the string has zero displacement and is moving in the +y...

    Longitudinal and Transverse Mass

    I don't recall what thread it was in but there was a comment that F = ma for a relativistic mass. I stated it was incorrect but did not provide a proof since it was a bit involved and too mathy for latex so instead of doing the latex out I made a new web page. For the derivation of the correct...

    Calculating Tension in a Stretched Rope: A Harmonic Wave Example

    The transverse displacement of a harmonic wave on a stretched rope is y = 0.03 cos(2.7 t - 2.9 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 tension in rope? b) At time t = 0, consider a 1/2 wavelength long...

    Cyclotron formula and Transverse Mass

    The cyclotron forumla is derived here See -www.geocities.com/physics_world/cyclotron.htm That's a lot of work for something so simple. Recall that the relativistic force can be written as equation. Recall that F = M_t A_t + A_L M_L where M_t = transverse mass A_t = transverse...
