A wave has a wavelength of 3.0 m, a frequency of 25.0 Hz, and an amplitude of 14.0 cm. The wave travels in the positive x-direction and has a displacement of zero at t = 0 and x = 0. How many complete oscillations has the wave made at t = 20.0 s and x = 4.2 m?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The total number of oscillations made by the wave during the time of travel is 1.4 Oscillations. Strictly speaking, the number of complete oscillations is 1.

Explanation:

The required quantity is the number of complete oscillations made by the traveling wave. The amplitude time and frequency are not needed to calculate the number of oscillations as it is the ratio of the distance traveled to the wavelength( minimum distance that must be traveled to complete one oscillation) of the wave. So the total number of oscillations is 1.4 while the number of complete oscillations is 1 (strictly speaking). The detailed solution to this question can be found in the attachment below. Thank you!
