AI Thread Summary
The wave in question has a frequency of 19.0 Hz, an amplitude of 0.18 m, and a wavelength of 0.20 m. The speed of the wave is calculated as 3.8 m/s, derived from multiplying the frequency by the wavelength. The period of the wave is determined to be approximately 0.0526 seconds, calculated using the formula 1 divided by the frequency. The calculations for both speed and period are confirmed to be correct. This discussion highlights the relationship between frequency, wavelength, speed, and period in wave mechanics.

Homework Statement


A wave traveling in the positive x direction with a frequency of 19.0 Hz

The full amplitude of the wave is 0.18 m and the wavelength is 0.20 m

What is the period and speed of the wave?

Homework Equations



speed=(frequency)*(wavelength)
Frequency=1/period

The Attempt at a Solution



I figured the speed by doing 19*0.20 which equaled to 3.8 m/s
For the period, i just did 1/19 and got 0.0526 s but am not too sure about this answer. Please direct me! Thanks!

Your answer is right. 1/19 would be the Period.
 
thanks!
 

Thread 'Rolling without slipping on a curved surface'

Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .

Thread 'Struggling to understand the concept of this question (ice cube in water optics question)'

TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...
