Statement 1 :Two longitudinal waves givrn by equation : y1(x,t)=2asin(wt-kx) and y2(x,t)=asin(2wt-2kx) will have equal intensity Statement 2: Intensity of waves of given frequency in same medium is proportional to square of amplitude only... 1) Statement 1 is false,statement 2 is true 2) statement 2 is false ,statement 1 is true....

rvc (rvc):

Intensity \(\alpha \) (amplitude)^2

OpenStudy (samigupta8):

So u mean ans is 2. ..

OpenStudy (samigupta8):

Sorry 1

rvc (rvc):

yup

OpenStudy (samigupta8):

Bt the ans is 2

OpenStudy (samigupta8):

I were also getting same ans as urs...

rvc (rvc):

O.o

rvc (rvc):

\(\rm y2(x,t)=asin(2wt-2kx)\) \(\rm y1(x,t)=asin(\color{red}{2}wt-\color{red}{2}kx)\)

OpenStudy (samigupta8):

What u did in the equation of y1?

rvc (rvc):

m joking LOL

OpenStudy (samigupta8):

Wow..it killed me ....

rvc (rvc):

@Astrophysics =^-^=

rvc (rvc):

@Directrix

OpenStudy (samigupta8):

@parthkohli pls..help

OpenStudy (samigupta8):

@mayankdevnani

OpenStudy (vincent-lyon.fr):

As long as we are not told what type of wave it is and what y represents, we cannot decide if statement 1 is right or wrong.

OpenStudy (samigupta8):

Y is the displacement of wave particle in y direction ... N the y(x,t) represents that displacement of a particle of wave progressing towards x direction at a particular time t...

OpenStudy (masumanwar):

sound wave produced when any object get some disturbance , sound wave with same amplitude must have same a to have same intensity since these two equation dont have it , so we may conclude this two wave dont have same intensity. For the next question we can say that the intensity is actually the square of amplitude.

OpenStudy (vincent-lyon.fr):

That's the way things seem to be taught in India : intensity of a mechanical wave depends on amplitude squared AND frequency squared. So, statement 1 is true since both intensities will be given by 4a²w² The real reason is different, namely because y does not lead to any meaningful energetical quantity (velocity does).

Have a look at my answer at the bottom of : http://openstudy.com/study#/updates/56b5ccafe4b067e118210e94

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

option 2 is correct answer !

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

@samigupta8

OpenStudy (samigupta8):

Yep it is....

OpenStudy (samigupta8):

@mayankdevnani wud u explain??

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

another tukka !

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

aur voh bhi sahi

OpenStudy (samigupta8):

Yrr pls tukka mat lagao...

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

lol..kya karu iske illava mujhe aati hi kya h

OpenStudy (samigupta8):

Bhut kuch...

OpenStudy (samigupta8):

Tarika btao plss

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

now be serious move onto your question

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

do you know the formula AVERAGE INTENSITY ?

OpenStudy (samigupta8):

Okk...i know it bt derivation is vague

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

derivation is too easy

OpenStudy (samigupta8):

Well , I will get the ans of this question if i know the derivation of it....

OpenStudy (samigupta8):

Tell ...then?

OpenStudy (samigupta8):

Now plss...don't say that power/area = intensity...

OpenStudy (samigupta8):

Okk...i should clearly say that i don't know the derivation of average power transmitted in a wave

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

god! power derivation is too long and too lenghty

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

*lengthy

OpenStudy (samigupta8):

Pls...do tell me

OpenStudy (samigupta8):

Okk, i will show u the derivation proposed by my sir...n in that i m confused over a particular part...u have to solve that ...will u ?

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

yep

OpenStudy (samigupta8):

So i will send to ur hangouts

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

i will suggest you that there is no time to study derivation.

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

go to formula and crack questions easily !

OpenStudy (samigupta8):

Arey pichle saal ka doubt h abhi tk chl ra h

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

and btw there is nothing need of derivation in this particular section.

OpenStudy (samigupta8):

Pls...open it. ..
