Problem 1.4 A wave traveling along a string is given by y(x,t) = 2 sin(4π t + 10π x) (cm), where x is the distance along the string in meters and y is the vertical displacement. Determine: (a) the direction of wave travel, (b) the reference phase φ0 , (c) the frequency, (d) the wavelength, and (e) the phase velocity. Solution: (a) We start by converting the given expression into a cosine function of the form given by (1.17): ³ π´ y(x,t) = 2 cos 4π t + 10π x − (cm). 2 Since the coefficients of t and x both have the same sign, the wave is traveling in the negative x-direction. (b) From the cosine expression, φ0 = −π /2. (c) ω = 2π f = 4π , f = 4π /2π = 2 Hz. (d) 2π /λ = 10π , λ = 2π /10π = 0.2 m. (e) up = f λ = 2 × 0.2 = 0.4 (m/s).

The waves are said to interfere constructively when their superposition |ys | = |y1 + y2 | is a maximum, and they interfere destructively when |ys | is a minimum. (a) What are the directions of propagation of waves y1 (x,t) and y2 (x,t)? (b) At t = (π /50) s, at what location x do the two waves interfere constructively, and what is the corresponding value of |ys |? (c) At t = (π /50) s, at what location x do the two waves interfere destructively, and what is the corresponding value of |ys |? Solution: (a) y1 (x,t) is traveling in positive x-direction. y2 (x,t) is traveling in negative x-direction. (b) At t = (π /50) s, ys = y1 + y2 = 4[cos(0.4π − 30x) − cos(0.4π + 3x)]. Using the formulas from Appendix C, 2 sin x sin y = cos(x − y) − (cos x + y), we have ys = 8 sin(0.4π ) sin 30x = 7.61 sin 30x.

Solution: For a wave traveling in the negative x-direction, we use Eq. (1.17) with ω = 2π f = 20π (rad/s), β = 2π /λ = 2π /0.3 = 20π /3 (rad/s), A = 40 cm, and x assigned a positive sign: µ ¶ 20π y(x,t) = 40 cos 20π t + (cm), x + φ0 3 with x in meters.

Problem 1.15 A laser beam traveling through fog was observed to have an intensity of 1 (µ W/m2 ) at a distance of 2 m from the laser gun and an intensity of 0.2 (µ W/m2 ) at a distance of 3 m. Given that the intensity of an electromagnetic wave is proportional to the square of its electric-field amplitude, find the attenuation constant α of fog. Solution: If the electric field is of the form E(x,t) = E0 e−α x cos(ω t − β x), then the intensity must have a form I(x,t) ≈ [E0 e−α x cos(ω t − β x)]2 ≈ E02 e−2α x cos2 (ω t − β x) or I(x,t) = I0 e−2α x cos2 (ω t − β x) where we define I0 ≈ E02 . We observe that the magnitude of the intensity varies as I0 e−2α x .
