ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS
Q16.1 As the pulse moves down the string, the particles of the
string itself move side to side. Since the medium—here,
the string—moves perpendicular to the direction of wave
propagation, the wave is transverse by definition.
Q16.2 To use a slinky to create a longitudinal wave, pull a few
coils back and release. For a transverse wave, jostle the
end coil side to side.
*Q16.3 (i) Look at the coefficients of the sine and cosine functions: 2, 4, 6, 8, 8, 7. The ranking is d =
e > f > c > b > a.
(ii) Look at the coefficients of x . Each is the wave number, 2π λ , so the smallest k goes with the
largest wavelength. The ranking is d > a = b = c > e > f.
(iii) Look at the coefficients of t . The absolute value of each is the angular frequency ω = 2π f . The
ranking is f > e > a = b = c = d.
(iv) Period is the reciprocal of frequency, so the ranking is the reverse of that in part iii: d = c =
b = a > e > f.
(v) From v = f λ = ω k , we compute the absolute value of the ratio of the coefficient of t to the
coefficient of x in each case. From a to f respectively the numerical speeds are 5, 5, 5, 7.5,
5, 4. The ranking is d > a = b = c = e > f.
*Q16.4 From v =T
µ , we must increase the tension by a factor of 4 to make v double. Answer (b).
*Q16.5 Answer (b). Wave speed is inversely proportional to the square root of linear density.
*Q16.6 (i) Answer (a). Higher tension makes wave speed higher.
(ii) Answer (b). Greater linear density makes the wave move more slowly.
Q16.7 It depends on from what the wave reflects. If reflecting from a less dense string, the reflected
part of the wave will be right side up.
Q16.8 Yes, among other things it depends on. The particle speed is described byv y,max

*Q16.9 (a) through (d): Yes to all. The maximum particle speed and the wave speed are related by
v y,max
v
= = =ω π π
λ A fA
A2
2. Thus the amplitude or the wavelength of the wave can be adjusted
to make either v y,max
or v larger.
Q16.10 Since the frequency is 3 cycles per second, the period is 13
second = 333 ms.
Q16.11 Each element of the rope must support the weight of the rope below it. The tension increases with
height. (It increases linearly, if the rope does not stretch.) Then the wave speed v = T
µ increases
with height.
*Q16.12 Answer (c). If the frequency does not change, the amplitude is increased by a factor of 2.
The wave speed does not change.
*Q16.13 (i) Answer a. As the wave passes from the massive string to the less massive string, the wave
speed will increase according to
v = T
µ .
(ii) Answer c. The frequency will remain unchanged. However often crests come up to the
boundary they leave the boundary.
(iii) Answer a. Since v = f λ , the wavelength must increase.
Q16.14 Longitudinal waves depend on the compressibility of the fluid for their propagation. Transverse
waves require a restoring force in response to shear strain. Fluids do not have the underlying
structure to supply such a force. A fluid cannot support static shear. A viscous fluid can tempo-
rarily be put under shear, but the higher its viscosity the more quickly it converts input work
into internal energy. A local vibration imposed on it is strongly damped, and not a source of
wave propagation.
Q16.15 Let ∆t t t s p
= − represent the difference in arrival times of the two waves at a station at distance
d t t s s p p= =v v from the hypocenter. Then
d t s p
= −

∆1 1

v v
. Knowing the distance from the
first station places the hypocenter on a sphere around it. A measurement from a second sta-tion limits it to another sphere, which intersects with the first in a circle. Data from a third
non-collinear station will generally limit the possibilities to a point.
Q16.16 The speed of a wave on a “massless” string would be infinite!

shifted toward larger x by 2.40 m. The wave has traveled 2.40 m to the right.

*P16.40 As for a string wave, the rate of energy transfer is proportional to the square of the amplitude
and to the speed. The rate of energy transfer stays constant because each wavefront carries con-
stant energy and the frequency stays constant. As the speed drops the amplitude must increase.

Section 16.6 The Linear Wave Equation
P16.41 (a) A = +( )7 00 3 00 4 00. . . yields A = 40 0.
(b) In order for two vectors to be equal, they must have the same magnitude and the samedirection in three-dimensional space. All of their components must be equal.

(c) In order for two functions to be identically equal, they must be equal for every value
of every variable. They must have the same graphs.
In
A B Cx Dt E x t + + +( ) = + + +cos . cos . . .0 7 00 3 00 4 00 2 0mm 00( )
the equality of average values requires that A = 0 . The equality of maximum values requires
B = 7 00. mm . The equality for the wavelength or periodicity as a function of x requires
C = 3 00. rad m . The equality of period requires D = 4 00. rad s , and the equality of
zero-crossings requires E = 2 00. rad .

*P16.46 (a) From y = 0.150 m sin(0.8 x – 50t )
we compute dy dt = 0.150 m (–50) cos(0.8 x – 50t )
and a = d 2 y dt 2 = –0.150 m (–50 s)2 sin(0.8 x – 50t )
Then amax = 375 m/s2
(b) For the 1-cm segment with maximum force acting on it, ΣF = ma = [12 g (100 cm)]1 cm 375 m /s2 = 0.045 0 N
We find the tension in the string from v = fλ = ω k = (50 s) (0.8 m) = 62.5 m /s = (T µ )1 2
T = v2µ = (62.5 m /s)2(0.012 kg m) = 46.9 N.
The maximum transverse force is very small compared to the tension, more than a
thousand times smaller.

*P16.51 (a) The energy a wave crest carries is constant in the absence of absorption. Then the rate at
which energy passes a stationary point, which is the power of the wave, is constant. The
power is proportional to the square of the amplitude and to the wave speed. The speed
decreases as the wave moves into shallower water near shore, so the amplitude must
increase.
(b) For the wave described, with a single direction of energy transport, the intensity is the same at
the deep-water location 1 and at the place 2 with depth 9 m. To express the constant inten-sity we write

(c) As the water depth goes to zero, our model would predict zero speed and infinite amplitude.
In fact the amplitude must be finite as the wave comes ashore. As the speed decreases the
wavelength also decreases. When it becomes comparable to the water depth, or smaller, ourformula gd for wave speed no longer applies.
P16.52 Assuming the incline to be frictionless and taking the positive x -direction to be up the incline:

(b) The power is proportional to the square of tthe maximum particle speed.
(c) In time t = (3 m) v = (3 m) (200 m /s) = 1.5 × 10–2 s, all the energy in a 3-m length of stringgoes past a point. Therefore the amount of this energy is

The mass of this section is m3 = (0.5 × 10–3 kg m)3 m = 1.5 × 10–3 kg so (1 2)m

P16.62 (a) Assume the spring is originally stationary throughout, extended to have a length L much
greater than its equilibrium length. We start moving one end forward with the speed v at
which a wave propagates on the spring. In this way we create a single pulse of compression
that moves down the length of the spring. For an increment of spring with length dx and
mass dm, just as the pulse swallows it up, F ma

P16.40 As for a string wave, the rate of energy transfer is proportional to the square of the amplitude and to the
speed. The rate of energy transfer stays constant because each wavefront carries constant energy and the
frequency stays constant. As the speed drops the amplitude must increase. It increases by 5.00 times.
