Question 15 Marks
A transverse harmonic wave on a string is described by
$
y(x, t)=3.0 \sin \left(36 t+0.018 x+\frac{\pi}{4}\right)
$
where $x$ and $y$ are in cm and $t$ in s. The positive direction of $x$ is from left to right.
(a) Is this a travelling wave or a stationary wave?
If it is travelling, what are the speed and direction of its propagation?
(b) What are its amplitude and frequency?
(c) What is the initial phase at the origin?
(d) What is the least distance between two successive crests in the wave?
Answer
The given equation is transverse frquency
$y(x, t)=3.0 \sin \left(36 t+0.018 x+\frac{\pi}{4}\right)$$\quad\ldots$(1)
Standard equation of progressive wave
$y(x, t) =a \sin \left(\frac{2 \pi}{\lambda}(v t-x)+\phi\right) $
$=a \sin \left(\frac{2 \pi}{T} t-\frac{2 \pi}{\lambda} x+\phi\right)$$\quad$$\quad$$\left[\because \frac{1}{T}=\frac{ v }{\lambda}\right]$$\quad\ldots$(2)
(a) By comparing equation (1) with equation (2)
$\frac{2 \pi}{T}=36$
or $\quad \frac{-2 \pi}{\lambda}=0.018$
or$\quad$$\lambda=\frac{-2 \pi}{0.018}\quad\ldots(3)$
$2 \pi n=36$$\quad\ldots$(4)
Multiply equation (3) and equation (4)
$2 \pi n \lambda=\frac{-2 \pi \times 36}{0.018}$
or $\quad n \lambda=\frac{-36 \times 1000}{18}=-2000 cm / s$
Velocity $(v)=-2000 cm / s =-20 m / s$
Here Negative sign represent the wave propagate in right to left.
(b) Given : $\text { speed } =20 m / s $
$a =3.0 cm=3.0 \times 10^{-2} m $
$\frac{2 \pi}{T} =36 $
$\frac{1}{T} =\frac{36}{2 \pi}=\frac{18}{\pi} $
$\text { frequency } n =\frac{18}{3.14}=5.73 Hz$
(c) Phase angle $(\phi)=\frac{\pi}{4}$ Radian
(d) Distance minimum between two consecutive crests wave length $=\lambda$
$=\frac{2 \pi}{0.018} $
$=\frac{2 \times 3.14}{0.018}=348.9 cm $
$\simeq 349 cm $
$\simeq \frac{349}{100} m=3.49 m

$
$\simeq 3.5 m$

Question 25 Marks
Use the formula $v =\sqrt{\frac{\gamma P }{\rho}}$ explain why the speed of sound in air
(a) is independent of pressure,
(b) increases with temperature,
(c) increases with humidity.
Answer
(a) Formula of sound velocity in air
$v =\sqrt{\frac{\gamma P }{\rho}}$$\quad\ldots$(1)
Here, $\gamma=$ constant for given gases
$\rho=$ density of gases
Gas equation
$
PV=RT \quad \therefore P=\frac{RT}{V}
$
Put the value of P in equation (1)
$
v=\sqrt{\frac{\gamma RT}{V \rho}}
$
But mass $M=$ volume $(V) \times$ density $(\rho)$
$\therefore \quad v =\sqrt{\frac{\gamma RT }{ M }}$$\quad\ldots$(2)
For given gas M is constant and R also constant. If T is constant then we conclude from equation 2 that if temeprature is fix then $v$ is also free from pressure.
(b) Effect of temperature :
From gas equation $PV = RT$
$
\begin{array}{l}
P=\frac{RT}{V} \\
v=\sqrt{\frac{\gamma P}{\rho}}=\sqrt{\frac{\gamma RT}{\rho V}}=\sqrt{\frac{\gamma RT}{M}}
\end{array}
$
Here, $M =\rho, V =$ molecular weight of gass
Thus, if $\gamma, R$ and M is constant.
So, $\quad v \propto \sqrt{T}$
Velocity of sound is directly proportional to square root of temperature. Thus we can say that if temperature increase then speed will increases.
(c) Effect of humidity : Presence of water vapour in air changes its density. Thus persence of humidity is changes sound velocity.
Let
Velcoity of dry air $= v _{ d }$
Sound velocity in humid arir $= v _{ m }$
Density of dry air $=\rho_d$
Density of humid air $=\rho_{ m }$
By formula$\quad$$
v=\sqrt{\frac{\gamma P}{\rho}}
$
$\Rightarrow \quad v _{ m }=\sqrt{\frac{\gamma P }{\rho_m}}$$\quad\ldots$(1)
or
$
v_d=\sqrt{\frac{\gamma P}{\rho_d}}\quad\ldots(2)
$
Equation (1) divided by equation (2)
$\frac{ v _m}{ v _d}=\sqrt{\frac{\rho_d}{\rho_m}}$$\quad\ldots$(3)
We know that density of dry air is less then water vapour
$\rho_m<\rho_d$
or $\quad \frac{\rho_d}{\rho_m}>1$$\quad\ldots$(4)
By equation (3) and (4) we gets $\frac{ v _m}{ v _d}>1$
or
$
v_{m}>v_d
$
Means sound's velocity increase with humidity. Sound velocity in dry air is greater in humid air. So during rainy days sound velocity is fast.

Question 35 Marks
A 1 metre-long tube open at one end, with a movable piston at the other end, shows resonance with a fixed frequency source (a tunning fork of frequency 340 Hz ) when the tube length is 25.5 cm or 79.3 cm. Estimate the speed of sound in air at the temperature of the experiment. The edge effects may be neglected.
Answer
Tube with piston work like argon pipe. Let $l_1$ and $l_2, r$ and $(r+1)$ 's resonance consecutive length which close pipe's cycle consecutive.
Given : $\quad l_1=25.5 cm $
$l_2=79.3 cm$
Sound velocity of wave is $v$ and frequency consecutive is $n_1$ and $n_2$ then value of frequency of following mode:
$n_1=(2 r-1) \frac{ v }{4 l_1}$$\quad \ldots$(1)
and $\quad n_2=(2(r+1)-1) \frac{ v }{4 l_2}$
$n_2=(2 r+1) \frac{ v }{4 l_2}$$\quad \ldots$(2)
Given : Both mode resonancete with frequency of 340 Hz.
$(2 r-1) \frac{v}{4 l_1}=(2 r+1) \frac{v}{4 l_2}=340$
or$\quad$$\frac{(2 r-1)}{4 l_1}=\frac{(2 r+1)}{4 l_2}$
$ \frac{(2 r-1)}{2 r+1} =\frac{l_1}{l_2}=\frac{25.5}{79.3}=\frac{1}{3} $
$\Rightarrow 3(2 r-1) =2 r+1 $
$\Rightarrow 6 r-3 =2 r+1 $
$4 r =4 $
$r =1$
$\frac{(2 r-1) v}{4 l_1}=340$
Put the value $r=1$
or $\quad \frac{(2 \times 1-1) v }{4 l_1}=340$
$\frac{v}{4 l_1}=340$
or$\quad$$v=4 \times 340 \times l_1$
Put the value
$ v =4 \times 340 \times 25.5 cm / s $
$=34680 cm / s =346.80 m / s $
$v \simeq 347 m / s $

Answer
Given function
$y(x, t)=0.06 \sin \left(\frac{2 \pi x}{3}\right) \cos (120 \pi t)$$\quad\ldots$(1)
It represent to progressive wave equation
$y(x, t)=a \sin \frac{2 \pi}{\lambda}(v t-x)$
and following equation represent to stationary wave
$y(x, t)=-2 a \sin \left(\frac{2 \pi x}{\lambda}\right) \cos \left(\frac{2 \pi v t}{\lambda}\right)$
(a) Since given function represented to stationary wave because it is simillar to stationary wave equation.
When a wave propogate in positive x-axis direction then
(b) $y_1=a \sin \frac{2 \pi}{\lambda}( v t-x)$
$ y_2 =-a \sin \frac{2 \pi}{\lambda}( v t-x) $
$y =y_1+y_2$
$=a \sin \frac{2 \pi}{\lambda}( v t-x)-a \sin \frac{2 \pi}{\lambda}( v t+x)$
$=a\left[2 \cos \frac{\frac{2 \pi}{\lambda}( v t-x+ v t+x)}{2}\right] \sin \left(\frac{\frac{2 \pi}{\lambda}( v t-x- v t-x)}{2}\right) $
$=a\left[2 \cos \left(\frac{2 \pi}{\lambda} v t\right) \sin \left(\frac{-2 \pi}{\lambda} x\right)\right]$
$=-2 a \sin \left(\frac{2 \pi}{\lambda} x\right) \cos \left(\frac{2 \pi}{\lambda} v t\right)$$\quad\ldots$(2)
By the comparing of eq. (1) and eq. (2)
$\frac{2 \pi}{\lambda} =\frac{2 \pi}{3} \text { or } \lambda=3 m . $
$\frac{2 \pi}{\lambda} v =120 \pi$
or $\quad v=60 \lambda=60 \times 3=180 m / s$
Frequency $\quad n=\frac{ v }{\lambda}=\frac{180}{3}=60 Hz$
Velocity of transverse velocity
$v=\sqrt{\frac{T}{m}} \text { or } v^2=\frac{T}{m}$
$T = v ^2 \times m$$\quad\ldots$(3)
$m=\text { unit length mass }=\frac{ M }{l}=\frac{3 \times 10^{-2} kg}{1.5 m} $
$m=2 \times 10^{-2} kg / m $
Speed of wave $\quad(v)=180 m / s$
(c) T= Tension in string $=$ ?
Put the value in eq. (3)
$ T =(180)^2 \times\left(2 \times 10^{-2}\right) $
$=32400 \times 2 \times 10^{-2} $
$=648 N$

Question 65 Marks
A progressive harmonic wave on a string is expressed as follow
$
y(x, t)=7.5 \sin (0.0050 x+12 t+\pi / 4)
$
(a) Find the speed at a point $x=1 cm$ on time $t=1$ sec. Is this speed is equal to the speed of wave propagation?
(b) Find the location of those points of the string whose tranverse displacement and speed are the same as that of the point located at $x=1 cm$ at times $t =2 s, 5 s$ and $11s.$
Answer
(a) $y(x, t)=7.5 \sin \left(0.0050 x+12 t+\frac{\pi}{4}\right)$
On comparing the above equation with the following equation of normal progressive wave.
$y=a \sin [k x+\omega t+Q]$
Hence, $k=0.0050$ and $\omega=12$
$\text {Speed of wave}\quad = v =n \lambda=(2 \pi n) \times \frac{\lambda}{2 \pi}=\frac{\omega}{ k }$
$ \begin{array}{l}\text {Speed of wave}\quad\text { (v) }=\frac{12}{0.0050}=\frac{12000}{5}=2400 cm / s \\v=\frac{2400}{100} m / s=24 m / s\end{array}$
In given equation displacement at $x=1 cm, \pm=1 s$
$y(1,1)=7.5 \sin \left(0.005+12+\frac{\pi}{4}\right)$
Put the value in given equation
$\begin{array}{l}=7.5 \sin \left(12.005+\frac{\pi}{4}\right) \\=7.5 \sin \left(12.005+\frac{3.14}{4}\right) \\=7.5 \sin (12.005+0.785)\end{array}$
$\begin{aligned} & =7.5 \sin (12.79) \\ & =7.5 \sin \left(12.79 \times \frac{180}{\pi}\right) \\ & \quad\left[\because \pi \text { Radian }=180^{\circ}\right] \\ & =7.5 \sin \left(732.83^{\circ}\right) \\ & =7.5 \sin \left(720^{\circ}+12.83^{\circ}\right) \\ & =7.5 \sin 12.83^{\circ} \\ \text { or } \quad y(1,1) & =7.5 \times 0.2215 \\ & =1.67 cm \end{aligned}$
Speed of oscillation on point
$\begin{aligned} v & =\frac{d y}{d t} \\ v & =7.5 \times 12 \cos \left(0.0050 x+12 t+\frac{\pi}{4}\right) \\ & =90.0 \cos \left(0.0050 x+12 t+\frac{\pi}{4}\right) \\ x & =1 cm, t=1 \text { second } \\ v & =90 \cos (0.005 \times 1+12 \times 1+0.785) \\ & =90 \cos (12.79) \\ & =90 \cos \left(732.83^{\circ}=90 \cos 12.83^{\circ}\right) \\ & =90 \times 0.9751=87.76 cm / s \end{aligned}$
Hence, speed of osicllation point $ \simeq$ 88 cm/s
But speed of wave =24 m/s
Hence, it is clear that the speed of oscillation of the point is different from the speed of wave motion. Hence not equivalent.
(b) Given equation
$y=7.5 \sin \left(0.0050 x+12 t+\frac{\pi}{4}\right)$
Progressive wave equation
$y=a \sin (\omega t+k x+\phi)$ on compare
$k =0.005$ Radian/cm
$\lambda=\frac{2 \pi}{ k }=\frac{2 \times 3.142}{0.005}=12.57 m$
In a transverse wave the displacement of all points is equal. Which are at distance $\lambda, 2 \lambda, 3 \lambda \ldots$ etc. Therefore displacement of all point $12.57 m, 25.14 m, 37.71 m$ will be same.
Thus, all the points when $n= \pm 1, \pm 2, \pm 3, \pm 4, \ldots x=$ 1 cm at other distance but displacement will be same.
