What is the smallest positive phase constant which is equivalent to 75 π?


Equation of the wave is given by the,


)


Here, A is the amplitude, K is the wave number, is the angular frequency and is the initial


phase.


The argument of the sin wave is a phase, So the smallest positive phase constant should be




Therefore, the smallest positive phase constant is

Two wave pulses identical in shape but inverted with respect to each other are produced at the two ends of a stretched string. At an instant when the pulses reach the middle, the string becomes completely straight. What happens to the energy of the two pulses?

Show that for a wave travelling on a string


where the symbols have usual meanings. Can we use componendo and dividendo taught in algebra to write

A string clamped at both ends vibrates in its fundamental mode. Is there any positive (except the ends) on the string which can be touched without disturbing the motion? What if the string vibrates in its first overtone?

A sine wave is travelling in a medium. The minimum distance between the two particles, always having same speed is
