Question:
Power is to be transmitted along a stretched wire by means of transverse harmonic waves. The wave speed is 10 m/s, and the linear mass density of the wire is 0.01 kg/m. The power source oscillates with an amplitude of 0.50 mm.
(a) What average power is transmitted along the wire if the frequency is 400 Hz?
(b) The power transmitted can be increased by increasing the tension in the wire, the frequency of the source, or the amplitude of the waves. How would each of these quantities have to be changed to effect an increase in power by a factor of 100 if it is the only quantity changed?
