A 1.1-kg uniform bar of metal is 0.40 m long and has a diameter of 2.0 cm. When someone bangs one end of this bar, a 1.5 MHz shock wave is travels along the length of the bar and reaches the other end in 0.12 ms. What is the wavelength of the shock wave in the metal?

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]\lambda = 2.22\times 10^{-3}\ m[/tex]

Explanation:

Given,

mass of the bar = 1.1 Kg

length of rod, l = 0.40 m

diameter of the rod, d = 2 cm

frequency, f = 1.5 MHz

time, t = 0.12 ms

wavelength of the shock wave = ?

Speed of the wave =[tex]\dfrac{L}{t}=\dfrac{0.40}{0.12\times 10^{-3}}[/tex]

   v = 3333.33 m/s

wavelength of the wave

[tex]\lambda = \dfrac{v}{f}= \dfrac{3333.33}{1.5\times 10^6}[/tex]

[tex]\lambda = 2.22\times 10^{-3}\ m[/tex]
