The following two traveling waves are superposed to create a standing wave:
(a) What is the resulting amplitude of the standing wave?
(b) What is the resulting wavelength of the standing wave?
(c) What is the resulting angular frequency of the standing wave?
The wave function of a standing wave is y(x,t)=4.44mmsin[(32.5rad/m)x]sin[(754rad/s)t].
Part A: For the two traveling waves that make up this standing wave, find the amplitude.
Part B: For the two traveling waves that make up this standing wave, find the wavelength.
Part C: For the two traveling waves that make up this standing wave, find the frequency.
Part D: For the two traveling waves that make up this standing wave, find the wave speed.
1) If the frequency of a wave traveling in a rope is doubled what will happen to the speed of the wave? What will happen to the wavelength of the wave?
2) What conditions are necessary to produce a standing waave? How far apart are adjacent nodes?
