A standing wave is established in a snakey as shown in the diagram at the right. The distance from point A to point B is known to be 4.69 meters. When not being vibrated as a standing wave, a single pulse introduced into the medium at point A will travel to the opposite end and back in 2.70 seconds. Determine the vibrational frequency of the wave pattern.
Introduction to Two-Source Interference
Learning Goal:
To gain an understanding of constructive and destructive interference.
Consider two sinusoidal waves (1 and 2) of identical wavelength A, period T, and
maximum amplitude A. A snapshot of one of these waves taken at a certain time is
displayed in the figure below. (Figure 1) Let y₁ (z, t) and y2 (x, t) represent the
displacement of each wave at position at time t. If these waves were to be in the same
location (2) at the same time, they would interfere with one another. This would result in a
single wave with a displacement y (z, t) given by
y(z, t)= y(x, t) + y2(x, t).
This equation states that at time t the displacement y (x, t) of the resulting wave at
position z is the algebraic sum of the displacements of the waves 1 and 2 at position z at
time t. When the maximum displacement of the resulting wave is less than the amplitude of
the original waves, that is, when ymax A.
the waves are said to interfere constructively because the…
The diagram below shows all the antinodal lines (dashed) and nodal lines (solid) due to two-point sources tapping a water surface (the two dots in the middle of the circle are the two-point sources). The sources are separated by an unknown distance d. The sources lie along a horizontal line.
Are the two sources in phase or out of phase? Explain how you can tell from the diagram. If the two sources are out of phase, give the phase difference between the two sources. Explain.
What is the source separation, d, in terms of the wavelength λ? Explain your reasoning.
