QUESTION:

Problem 24E

A light wire is tightly stretched with tension F. Transverse traveling waves of amplitude A and wavelength λ1 carry average power Pav,1 = 0.400 W. If the wavelength of the waves is doubled, so λ2 = 2λ1, while the tension F and amplitude A are not altered, what then is the average power Pav,2 carried by the waves?

If the wavelength of the waves is doubled, so λ2 = 2λ1, while the tension F and amplitude A are not altered, what then is the average power Pav,2 carried by the waves?

ANSWER:

Solution 24E

Step 1 of 5:

The average power which is proportional to the square of the amplitude and angular frequency is given by,

                                        ………..1

Where  average power, is restoring force(tension),  is linear mass density ,  is angular frequency and A is amplitude.
