Let's solve each question step by step.<br /><br />### Question 8<br /><br />**Given:**<br />- Distance between adjacent nodes = \(25.0 \, \text{cm}\)<br /><br />#### a. What is the wavelength of wave in the string?<br /><br />In a standing wave pattern on a string, the distance between two consecutive nodes (or antinodes) is half of the wavelength (\(\lambda\)). Therefore:<br /><br />\[<br />\frac{\lambda}{2} = 25.0 \, \text{cm}<br />\]<br /><br />To find the full wavelength:<br /><br />\[<br />\lambda = 2 \times 25.0\, cm = 50.0\, cm<br />= 0.5\, m <br />(1m=100cm)<br />\\<br />So,<br />Wavelength (\(\lambda)\) ≈ **50 cm or .5 meters**<br /><br />---<br /><br />#### b. If frequency of vibration is \(200 Hz,\) calculate velocity of wave.<br /><br />The formula for calculating wave speed (\(v)\) using frequency and wavelength is given by:<br />\[ <br />v = f × λ <br />\\<br />Where:<br />f - Frequency (Hz),<br />λ - Wavelength (meters).<br />\\ <br /><br />Substituting values into this equation gives us,<br /><br />\( v=\left(200\:Hz\times .5\:m)=100\:ms^{-1}. \\<br /><br /><br />Wave Velocity(v): ≈ **100 m/s**<br /><br />---<br /><br /><br /><br />### Question9<br /><br />**Given:**<br />- Frequency \(f=10.\!00 Hz;\)<br />- The distance between third node and sixth node equals to \(54.cm; \\)<br /><br /><br />We know that there are three segments from Node3 to Node6.<br />Thus we can say;<br /><br />Distance Between Nodes(n,m):<br />d=(n-m)*distance_between_adjacent_nodes;<br />where n>m.<br /><br /><br />Here d represents total length covered which means it will be equal to number_of_segments*half_wavelenght;<br /><br /><br />Let’s denote as follows :<br />Number Of Segments=n-m=>3 ; <br />Total Length=d =>54.cm ;<br />Half_WaveLength=hwl ;<br /><br />From above relation :<br /><br />hwl * Number_Of_Segments=d <br /><br />Now substituing known value : <br /><br /><br />hwl×3=m→ hwl=(d/numberofsegments); → ⇒ h wl =(54/cm)/3⇒18./c.m.; <br /><br /><br />Since Half Wave Length(hwL )is calculated , now let’s get Full wavelenght(wl):<br /><br />Full Wavlength(WL)=2*hWL; <br /> WL≈36.c.m.(which converts back again into meter form). <br /><br />Therefore final answer would yield:<br /><br /><br />a.Wavelength:\approx36.CM.or..036.Meters.<br /><br /><br /><br />---<br /> <br />b.What Is Speed Of Waves? <br /><br />Using same previous relationship where V=f*wvl;<br /><br />V=speed(frequency)(wave_length);<br /><br />substituting our previously found results yields:<br /><br /><br /><br />Speed(V)=Frequency*f x WVL=wavespeed=v.f.wl=<br /><br />10.Hz*(o.o36)m=.360.ms^-1.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Final Answer For Part B Would Yield Approximately As Follows:<br /><br /><br />Speed(V):≅***O.O360 M/S***<br /><br />
