Two waves traveling along a string are described by:
where x and y are expressed in meters and t is in seconds.
a. What is the speed and wavelength of the resultant wave?
b. What is the transverse speed for the particles in the string at x = 5 cm and t = 2 s?
a. the speed of the wave = m/s
a. The speed of the resultant wave is
It is the same as the speed of wave 1 and wave 2.
a. The wavelength of the resultant wave is
It is the same as the wavelength of wave 1 and wave 2.
a. The wavelength is = m
b. The resultant wave is
The transverse speed at x = 5 cm and t = 2 s is
b.The transverse speed = m/s
