With a vibrational frequency of 2900 reciprocal centimeters, calculate the lowest and highest energy the particle can have and how many ways this can be obtained for a particle that experiences X and Y vibrations.
Added by Emily F.
Step 1
We can use the formula: E = hν where E is the energy, h is Planck's constant (6.626 x 10^-34 J s), and ν is the frequency in Hz. To convert from reciprocal centimeters to Hz, we multiply by the speed of light: ν = (2900 cm^-1) x (3.00 x 10^10 cm/s) = 8.70 x Show more…

Sinusoidal waves $5.00 \mathrm{~cm}$ in amplitude are to be transmitted along a string that has a linear mass density of $4.00 \times 10^{-2} \mathrm{~kg} / \mathrm{m}$. If the source can deliver a maximum power of $300 \mathrm{~W}$ and the string is under a tension of $100 \mathrm{~N}$, what is the highest vibrational frequency at which the source can operate?
It is found that a $6.00-\mathrm{m}$ segment of a long string contains four complete waves and has a mass of $180 \mathrm{~g}$. The string is vibrating sinusoidally with a frequency of $50.0 \mathrm{~Hz}$ and a peak-to-valley displacement of $15.0 \mathrm{~cm}$. (The "peak-to-valley" distance is the vertical distance from the farthest positive displacement to the farthest negative displacement.) (a) Write the function that describes this wave traveling in the positive $x$ direction. (b) Determine the power being supplied to the string.
