A continuous succession of sinusoidal wave pulses are produced at one end of a very long string and travel along the length of the string. The wave has frequency 70.0 Hz, amplitude 5.00 mm, and wavelength 0.600 m. (a) How long does it take the wave to travel a distance of 8.00 m along the length of the string

The time taken by the wave to travel 8 m is 0.19 s .

Explanation:

frequency, f = 70 Hz

Amplitude, A = 5 mm

Wavelength = 0.6 m

The wave speed is given by

wave speed, v = frequency x wavelength

v = 70 x 0.6

v = 42 m/s

Distance, d = 8 m

Let the time taken is t.

So,

  distance on the y-axis and time on the x-axis.

explanation:

the instantaneous velocity = change in position/time taken

the slope of the graph should give instantaneous velocity.

  slope of a graph = change in value of y -axis / change in values of x -axis

  comparing both the equations

    change in value of y -axis = change in position

  change in values of x -axis = time taken

so position values should be on the y axis and time values should be on the x axis.

distance on the y-axis and time on the x-axis.
