15. A travelling wave is described by the equation y(x, t)= 0.003 cos (20 x + 200t) where y and x are measured in meters and t in seconds. What is the period of this wave?

T = 3.14 10⁻²  s

Explanation:

The general equation for a traveling transverse wave is

           y = A sin (k x - wt +Ф)

where w is the angular velocity that is related to the period and Ф is the phase of the oscillation

           w = 2π / T          (1)

In this case they indicate that the expression of the wave

         y = 0.003 cos (20 x + 200t)

if we use the relationship of the double angles

          a = kx - wt

          b = Ф

          sin (a + b) = sin a cos b + sin b cos a

for the case Ф = 90 we have

          sin (a + b) = cos b

we substitute

          y = A cos (kx -wt)

with an initial phase of fi = 90º

if we compare the terms of the two expressions

         A = 0.003 m  

         k = 20 m⁻¹

         w = -200  rad/s

the negative sign indicates that the wave goes to the left

if we clear from equation 1

          T = 2π / w

          T = 2π / 200

          T = 3.14 10⁻²  s

5 w for 1hr = 5x60x60 joules=300x60=3000x6=18,000j as total energy conversion. efficiency of bulb needed for radiant to thermal within 18000

igneous rocks also form where plates converge. the subducting plate melts as it sinks into the crust of the earth, and the melt rises into the overriding plate forming volcanoes. metamorphic rocks are formed mainly in the lithosphere, wherever there is high pressure and high temperature. -woods
