HW 11 - fa14 - energy transport via waves: Chapter 16: 30, 32, 38, 60; Chapter 17: 7, 13, 22, 59, 60, 69.

Chapter 16, problem 30: Use the wave equation to find the speed of a wave ( , ) y y x t given in terms of the
general function h ; the wave is given as, 3( , ) ( , ); 4.00 10 ; ( , ) ( ); 30 ; 6.0 ;rad rad

Trick: There is something special about functions of the argument1 arg [argument of function ]kx t h :
their outer-function-chain-rule-derivatives are equal . Proof: let z kx t . Then,

This means that any function of the argument kx t has velocity c given by the wave equation! Another
important note is that the velocity we calculated in (1.4) would be negative for arg kx t and positive for
arg kx t ; however, the problem asks for the speed , so we take the positive root: 0.2 m s
c .
• chapter 16, problem 32: What phase difference between two identical traveling waves, moving in the same
direction along a stretched string, results in the combined wave having an amplitude 1.50 times that of the
common amplitude of the two combining waves? Express your answer in (a) degrees, (b) radians, and (c)
wavelengths.
(a) Let the phase difference be , and abbreviate kx t X . Then, the two waves (to be combined) are,

••• Chapter 16, problem 60: In the Figure, a string, tied to a sinusoidal oscillator at P and running over a
support at Q, is stretched by a block of mass m. The separation L between P and Q is 1.20 L m , and the
frequency f of the oscillator is fixed at 120 f Hz . The amplitude of the motion at P is small enough for that
point to be considered a node. A node also exists at Q. A standing wave appears when the mass of the hanging
block is either 286.1nm g or 1 447.0nm g , but not for any intermediate mass. What is the linear density of
the string?
The nth standing-wave-frequency n f of a string of linear-mass-density / M L (e.g., a string of length L and mass M)
subject to tension mg is given by 0 / (2 ) f v L , where /v ,

Chapter 17, problem 7: A stone is dropped into a depth- d well. The splash is heard 3.00 f st t s t
later.What is the depth d of the well? As indicated, f t is the time for the stone to fall to the water and t s is the time
for the sound (let the speed of sound be sv ) of the splash to travel from the water to the top of the well; the total
of these times must be t . Then, we have the following two expressions for d on a planet with gravity- g , each

There are now two ways to solve this problem: (1) a graphical way, and (2) a formal and algebraic way (the
latter of these is messier). The graphical solution to (1.19) is to plot the equation 2 / / 0 sd g d v t as a
function of d and pick the d where it passes through zero5,

We see this immediately procures the approximate answer 40.7d m shown in the solutions manual. This
solution-method is eminently sensible if this question (1) appears on an exam (it is my understanding that Prof.
Field pulls no punches in burying correct answers in heavy algebra; I have seen exam-questions of his
demanding use of the quadratic formula!), or (2) is asked of you by WileyPLUS. However, if this question
arises in the context of a research problem, it’s better to indeed obtain a closed-form solution via the quadratic
formula. The total time is to be put into the standard form of a quadratic equation for d ,

The physical solution must yield d = 0 for t = 0, so we take the solution with the negative sign in front of the

Fascinatingly, a great deal more effort6 in (1.21) through (1.23) procured nothing more or less than merely a
few more significant figures…which may be beyond the resolving power of whatever experimental apparatus
you used to measure the 3.00t s , the 343 m s sv , and 29.81 m
s g (i.e., the entire cadre of problem-givens).
Hopefully, this drives home the message that: “physics is not math”!

•• Chapter 17, problem 22: In the Figure, sound
with a 240.0 10 m wavelength travels
rightward from a source and through a tube that
consists of a straight portion and a half-circle. Part
of the sound wave travels through the half-circle
and then rejoins the rest of the wave, which goes
directly through the straight portion. This rejoining
results in interference. What is the smallest radius
r that results in an intensity minimum at the
detector?
Let the soundwave be of amplitude A , wavevector k , and frequency . The resultant wave that combines at
the circle-pipe interface just before the detector, using2 2

during maneuvers in motionless water in the North Atlantic. The French sub moves at speed 50.00 km F hr

the U.S. sub at 70.00 kmUSA hr

Chapter 17, problem 69: A jet plane passes over
you at a height of 5000h m and a speed of Mach
1.5. (a) Find the Mach cone angle (the sound speed
is 331 m s sv ). (b) How long after the jet passes
directly overhead does the shock wave reach you?
(a) The half angle of the Mach cone is given by sin = v/vS , where v is the speed of sound and vS is the speed
of the plane. Since vS = 1.5v, sin = v/1.5v = 1/1.5. This means = 42°.
(b) Let h be the altitude of the plane and suppose the Mach cone intersects Earth's surface a distance d behind
the plane. The situation is shown on the diagram, with P indicating the plane and O indicating the observer. The
cone angle is related to h and d by tan = h/d , so d = h/tan . The shock wave reaches O in the time the plane
takes to fly the distance d :
