Sagot :
The speed of the longitudinal waves along the spring is 1.5 m/s.
The wavelength of the longitudinal waves produced when the free end is moved to and fro is 0.6 m.
What is wavelength?
The wavelength is the distance between the adjacent crest or trough of the sinusoidal wave. The wavelength is the reciprocal of the frequency of the wave.
Wavelength λ = c/f
where c is the speed of light in vacuum = 3*10⁸ m/s
A slinky spring 3m long rests on a horizontal bench with one end fixed. When the free end is suddenly pushed forward, the compression pulse travels to the fixed end and back in 2 secs.
λ = v/f
v =fλ =λ /T where T is the time period = 2sec
Put the values we get
v = 3/2 =1.5 m/s
Thus, the speed of wave is 1.5 m/s.
Using the same expression for frequency 2.5Hz, wavelength is
λ = v/f
λ = 1.5 /2.5 = 0.6 m
Thus, the wavelength is 0.6m.
