Find the propagation velocity of a wave of wavelength 7.50 m . Find the period T for a wave of wavelength 7.50 m . On the East Coast of the United States, the National Weather Service frequently reports waves with a period of 3.92 s . Find the wavelength of these waves

Respuesta :

Answer:

velocity = 3.42 m/s

T = 2.19 s

wavelength = 0.4056 m

Explanation:

given data

wavelength λ = 7.50 m

to find out

velocity , period T and wavelength when time 3.92 s

solution

we will apply first velocity formula that is

velocity = [tex]\sqrt{\frac{wavelength*g}{2\pi } }[/tex]   ..............1

put here all value g = 9.8, wavelength = 7.50

velocity =  [tex]\sqrt{\frac{7.50*9.8}{2\pi } }[/tex]

velocity = 3.42 m/s

and

time formula that is

velocity = wavelength × f     ..............2

here f is frequency = 1/T       .............3

so

velocity = wavelength × 1/T    ..............4

T = [tex]\frac{wavelength}{velocity}[/tex]

T = [tex]\frac{7.50}{3.42}[/tex]

T = 2.19 s

and

wavelength by time 3.92

relation between wavelength and time is express as

T = [tex]\frac{wavelength}{\sqrt{\frac{wavelength*g}{2\pi } } }[/tex]    .............4

so

3.92 = [tex]\frac{wavelength}{\sqrt{\frac{wavelength*9.8}{2\pi } } }[/tex]

3.92 = [tex]\frac{wavelength}{\sqrt{wavelength*1.5597}}[/tex]

6.076 × wavelength = √wavelength

√wavelength = 1 / 6.076

wavelength = 0.4056 m
