called the medium for the wave.

speed of the wave depends on what the medium is made of.

The SHM of the spring and mass generates a sinusoidal
wave in the string. Each particle in the string exhibits the

amplitude of the wave is the amplitude of this motion.

v=Af (periodic wave)
The speed of propagation equals the product of wavelength and frequency. The frequency is a property
of the entire periodic wave because all points on the string oscillate with the same frequency £Question
Sound waves are longitudinal waves in air. The speed of sound
depends on temperature; at 20°C it is 344 m/s (1130 ft/s). What
is the wavelength of a sound wave in air at 20°C if the frequency is
262 Hz (the approximate frequency of middle C on a piano)?
IDENTIFY and SET UP: This problem involves Eq. (15.1), v = Af,
which relates wave speed v, wavelength A, and frequency f for a
periodic wave. The target variable is the wavelength A. We are
given v = 344 m/s and f = 262 Hz = 262 st

Wave Function for a Sinusoidal Wave ——y
> Waves on a string are transverse; during wave motion a
particle with equilibrium position x is displaced some
distance y in the direction perpendicular to the x-axis.
=>
> The value of y depends on which particle we are talking
about (that is, y depends on x) and also on the time ¢ when
we look at it. Thus y is a function of both x and t; EE

> If we know this function for a particular wave motion, we
can use it to find the displacement (from equilibrium) of
any particle at any time.» Let’s see how to determine the form of the wave function
for a sinusoidal wave.

direction of increasing x) along the string, Oscillator Thre points onthe string,

The wave disturbance travels from x = 0 to some point x to the right of the
origin in an amount of time given by x/v, where v is the wave speed. So the
motion of point x at time # is the same as the motion of point x = 0 at the earlier
time ¢ — x/v. Hence we can find the displacement of point x at time f by simply
replacing ¢ in Eq. by (1 — x/v). When we do that, we find the following
expression for the wave function:
v(x.1) = Aeos|o(+ - *)|
Because cos(—@) = cos, we can rewrite the wave function as

Above Equation tells that the wave speed should increase when the tension F increases but
decrease when the mass per unit length increases.

build a bass viol with strings of length 5.00 m between fixed points.
One string, with linear mass density 40.0 g/m, is tuned to a 20.0-Hz
fundamental frequency (the lowest frequency that the human ear
can hear). Calculate (a) the tension of this string, (b) the frequency
and wavelength on the string of the second harmonic, and (c) the
frequency and wavelength on the string of the second overtone.
