Phys 100: Problem Set 13

These problems are due Wednesday December 12 at the beginning of class.

Reading:

Chapter 11 (except sections 11-14 and 11-15), Chapter 12 (except sections 12-6 and 12-8), and thermo in Chapters 13-15.

Problems:

(1) A string with linear mass density of 0.105 kg/m has a wave
y(x,t) = 0.060 sin (5.23 x + 13.0 t),
where y and x are measured in meters and t is measured in seconds.
(a) Is this a right moving or left moving wave?
(b) Find angular frequency, wavelength, f and v.
(c) What are the minimum and maximum speeds of the string?
(d) Find the average rate of energy transport by this wave.
