A standing wave experiment is performed to determine the speed of waves in a rope. The standing wave pattern shown below is established in the rope. The rope makes exactly 90 complete vibrational cycles in one minute. The speed of the waves is ____ m/s.​

Respuesta :

Answer:

The speed of the waves is __6__ m/s.​

Explanation:

Given

Total number of vibrations = 90

Total time taken for 90 vibrations = 60 seconds

Frequency of the wave = 90/60 = 1.5 Hz

The length of the rope as shown in the attached figure is 6 meters

The  wavelength = 6/1.5 = 4.0 meters.

As we know

v=f*w

v = velocity

f = frequency

w = wavelength

Substituting the given values we get -

speed = 6.0 m/s

The speed of the waves obtained is 6 m/s

Data obtained from the question

  • Number of complete cycles = 90
  • Time = 1 min = 60 s
  • Length of rope = 6 m
  • Velocity (v) =?

How to determine the frequency

  • Number of complete cycles (n) = 90
  • Time (t) = 1 min = 60 s
  • Frequency (f) =?

f = n/t

f = 90 / 60

f = 1.5 Hz

How to determine the velocity

  • Frequency (f) = 1.5 Hz
  • Length of rope (L) = 6 m
  • Wavelength (λ) = 2L / 3 = (2×6)/3 = 4m
  • Velocity (v) =?

v = λf

v = 4 × 1.5

v = 6 m/s
