Simple Harmonic Motion and Mechanical Waves - Practice Questions (35)

Question 1: 1. Sound waves belong to mechanical waves, the following description of sound waves is correct

1. Sound waves belong to mechanical waves, the following description of sound waves is correct

  • A. A. The same column of sound waves has the same wavelength in various media
  • B. B. The higher the frequency of a sound wave, the faster it travels through the air
  • C. C. The distance traveled by a vibrating plasma element in the direction of wave propagation in one cycle is equal to one wavelength
  • D. D. Ultrasonic waves ( $> 20000 \mathrm {~Hz}$) are not prone to significant diffraction when encountering physics exam paper size obstacles in air

Answer: D

Solution: A. In different media, the wave speed is different, but the frequency is the same, so the wavelength is different, so A error B. Sound waves propagate at the same speed in the same medium, so B error C. Any vibration of the mass is only in their own equilibrium position near the vibration, and does not move forward with the wave, so C error D. Wave diffraction conditions are: the width of the hole, seam or obstacle size and wavelength compared to about the same or smaller than the wavelength, the wavelength of ultrasound is much smaller than the volume, so it is not easy to diffract significantly, so D is correct

Question 2: 2. Which of the following statements are true about the relationship between displacement, velocity,...

2. Which of the following statements are true about the relationship between displacement, velocity, and acceleration in simple harmonic motion

  • A. A. Acceleration increases as displacement decreases and speed increases
  • B. B. The direction of displacement is always the opposite of the direction of acceleration and the same as the direction of velocity.
  • C. C. When the object moves toward the equilibrium position, the direction of velocity is opposite to the direction of displacement; when it moves back toward the equilibrium position, the direction of velocity is the same as the direction of displacement.
  • D. D. The object moves toward the equilibrium position in decelerated motion and away from the equilibrium position in accelerated motion

Answer: C

Solution: A. When the displacement decreases, the acceleration $a = - \frac { k x } { m }$ also decreases and the velocity increases, so A is wrong; B. Acceleration $a = - \frac { k x } { m }$, the negative sign means that the direction of acceleration is always opposite to the direction of displacement, and it is accelerated during the process of approaching the equilibrium position, and the direction of displacement is opposite to the direction of velocity, so B is wrong; C. When the direction of motion of the object points to the equilibrium position, the direction of velocity is opposite to the direction of displacement; when it turns back to the equilibrium position, the direction of velocity is the same as the direction of displacement, so C is correct; D. When the object moves toward the equilibrium position, it accelerates, and when it moves away from the equilibrium position, it decelerates, so D is wrong. Therefore, choose C.

7. analyze the following physical phenomena: (1) "empty mountains do not see people, but hear people's voices"; (2) color ultrasound to measure the change in the frequency of the reflected wave, so as to know the blood flow rate; (3) around the sound of the sound of the double-stranded tuning fork to walk around, hear the sound of the sound is strong and weak; (4) sonar system, used to detecting objects in the sea, each of these physical phenomena belongs to the wave

  • A. A. Diffraction, Doppler effect, interference, reflection
  • B. B. Diffraction, interference, Doppler effect, refraction
  • C. C. Refraction, interference, Doppler effect, reflection
  • D. D. Diffraction, refraction, Doppler effect, interference

Answer: A

Solution: "Empty mountains do not see people, but hear the sound of human speech" belongs to the wave diffraction; color ultrasound to measure the change in the frequency of the reflected wave, so as to know the blood flow rate, belongs to the Doppler effect; around the sound of the double-stranded tuning fork walk around the sound of the sound of the sound of the sound of the sound of the weak, belongs to the interference of the wave; sonar system, used to detect the objects in the sea, belongs to the reflection of the wave.

  • A. A. The direction of the restoring force is always opposite to the direction of displacement
  • B. B. The direction of acceleration is always opposite to the direction of displacement
  • C. C. Sometimes the direction of velocity is the same as the direction of displacement, sometimes it is opposite to the direction of displacement
  • D. D. Mechanical vibration is a uniformly variable linear motion

Answer: D

Solution: AB. According to the formula for restoring force and Newton's second law: $$ \begin{aligned} & F = - k x \\ & F = m a \end{aligned} $$ It can be seen that the direction of the restoring force and acceleration is always opposite to the direction of displacement, so AB is correct; C. When the object moves from the equilibrium position to the maximum displacement, the direction of the object's velocity is the same as the direction of displacement, and when the object moves from the maximum displacement to the equilibrium position, the direction of the object's velocity is opposite to the direction of displacement, so C is correct; D. The object of mechanical vibration is subjected to variable force, according to Newton's second law can be known that the acceleration also changes, so it is not a uniformly variable linear motion, so D is wrong.

  • A. A. "Hear the sound before you see it" is a phenomenon that occurs when sound waves interfere.
  • B. B. The direction of vibration of a point of mass in a transverse wave is co-linear with the direction of propagation of the wave
  • C. C. The magnitude of the speed of a mechanical wave traveling through a medium is medium dependent
  • D. D. Determining the direction of travel of a train from the sound of a train whistle utilizes the diffraction of sound waves

Answer: C

Solution: A. "Before seeing the person, first heard the sound" is a phenomenon produced by diffraction of sound waves, so A error; B. The direction of vibration of the point of physics and the direction of wave propagation perpendicular to the definition of transverse waves, so B error; C. The speed of wave propagation is determined by the medium, independent of the frequency, so C is correct; D. From the sound of the train whistle to determine the direction of travel of the train using the Doppler effect, so D is wrong; Therefore, choose C.

Figure A is a series of simple harmonic transverse waveform at a certain moment, the point $M , N , P , Q$ are located in the medium $x = 3 \mathrm {~m} , x = 4 \mathrm {~m} , x = 5 \mathrm {~m} , x = 10 \mathrm {~m}$. The transverse wave propagates to the point $P$ at that moment, and the vibration image of the point $M$ from that moment is shown in Figure B. The following statements are correct ![](/images/questions/phys-waves/image-001.jpg) A ![](/images/questions/phys-waves/image-002.jpg) B

  • A. A. The speed of propagation of this wave in this medium is $1.25 \mathrm {~m} / \mathrm { s }$
  • B. B. Wave source oscillation direction is along the $y$ axis.
  • C. C. The distance traveled by the point $Q$ to the point $P$ is 5 meters.
  • D. D. When the mass $Q$ vibrates, it vibrates at the same pace as the mass $N$.

Answer: B

Solution: A. According to the image, the wavelength is 4 m, the period is 4 s $$ v = \frac { \lambda } { T } = 1 \mathrm {~m} / \mathrm { s } $$ B. At this moment the wave has just reached $P$; B. At this moment, the wave just reaches point $P$, and according to the up and down slope method, the vibration direction is along the positive direction of the $y$ axis, and therefore the vibration direction of point $P$ at this moment is the vibration direction of the wave source, so B is correct; C. The wave propagates to point $Q$ at a time that satisfies the following criteria $$ t = \frac { X } { V } = 5 \mathrm {~s} = \frac { 5 } { 4 } T $$ Therefore, the distance from point $P$ is $$ t = \frac { X } { V } = 5 \mathrm {~s} = \frac { 5 } { 4 } T $$. $$ s = 5 \mathrm {~A} = 50 \mathrm {~cm} $$ C is wrong ; D. The distance between the point of mass $Q$ and the point of mass $N$ is $$ \triangle x = 6 m = \frac { 3 } { 2 } \lambda $$ Therefore, the steps are reversed and D is incorrect.

11. With respect to the description related to mechanical vibration, the following statements are correct

  • A. A. The period of a single pendulum decreases as the mass of the pendulum ball increases
  • B. B. The energy of a horizontally placed spring oscillator undergoing simple harmonic vibration is equal to the kinetic energy of the oscillator at the equilibrium position.
  • C. C. When the pendulum moves to the equilibrium position, the velocity is maximum, the restoring force is zero, and the combined force is zero as well.
  • D. D. The frequency of the forced vibration is equal to the frequency of the driving force only when resonance occurs

Answer: B

Solution: A. According to the formula for the period of a single pendulum $$ T = 2 \pi \sqrt { \frac { L } { g } } $$ A. According to the formula $$ T = 2 \pi \sqrt { \frac { L } { g } } $$, the period of the pendulum has nothing to do with the mass of the pendulum ball; B. The equilibrium position of the horizontally placed spring oscillator doing simple harmonic vibration is located in the original length of the spring, the position of the elastic potential energy is zero, the maximum kinetic energy, the spring oscillator doing simple harmonic vibration when the mechanical energy is conserved, so the horizontal placement of the spring oscillator doing simple harmonic vibration of the energy is equal to the equilibrium position of the oscillator when the kinetic energy, B is correct; C. The pendulum moves to the equilibrium position, the speed is maximum, the return force is zero, due to the pendulum to do circular motion, radial force to provide centripetal force, so the combined force is not zero, C is wrong; D. According to the characteristics of forced vibration, the frequency of forced vibration must be equal to the frequency of the external driving force, D error.

12. A spring oscillator placed on a smooth horizontal surface starts to vibrate after the spring is compressed $x$ for the first time and after the spring is compressed $2 x$ for the second time, then the ratio of the amplitudes of the two vibrations is

  • A. A. $1 : 2$
  • B. B. 2: 1
  • C. C. $1 : 4$
  • D. D. $4 : 1$

Answer: A

Solution: Because the maximum distance from the equilibrium position during the vibration of the spring oscillator is the amplitude, then by the meaning of the question, the compression of the spring in this scenario is the amplitude, so the ratio of the amplitude of the two vibrations is $1 : 2$.

Question 9: 13. The waveform of a simple harmonic transverse wave propagating in the positive direction along th...

13. The waveform of a simple harmonic transverse wave propagating in the positive direction along the $x$ axis at $t _ { 1 } = 0$ is shown in the figure, and at this time, the wave propagates to the point $x = 2.0 \mathrm {~m}$ at the point $B$, and the point $A$ is located exactly at the trough of the wave. FORMULA_4]] is located exactly at the trough of the wave. When $t _ { 2 } = 0.6 \mathrm {~s}$, the prime $A$ happens to be in the crest position for the second time, the following statement is correct ![](/images/questions/phys-waves/image-003.jpg)

  • A. A. At the $t _ { 1 } = 0$ moment, the point $B$ is moving in the positive direction of the y-axis.
  • B. B. After another quarter of a cycle, the mass $A$ will reach the mass $B$
  • C. C. The period of this wave train is 0.4 s
  • D. D. The wave speed of this train is $10 \mathrm {~m} / \mathrm { s }$

Answer: C

Solution: A. By the waveform diagram, $t _ { 1 } = 0$ moment, the point $B$ along the y-axis negative direction of motion, option A error; B. In the process of mechanical wave propagation, the particle can only vibrate near its equilibrium position and does not migrate with the wave, option B is wrong; C. When $t _ { 2 } = 0.6 \mathrm {~s}$, the point $A$ is exactly in the peak position for the second time. $$ 1.5 T = 0.6 \mathrm {~s} $$ Then the period of this wave train is $$ T = 0.4 \mathrm {~s} $$ Option C is correct; D. The speed of the wave is $$ v = \frac { \lambda } { T } = \frac { 2 } { 0.4 } \mathrm {~m} / \mathrm { s } = 5 \mathrm {~m} / \mathrm { s } $$ Option D is wrong.

Question 10: A simple harmonic transverse wave propagates along the $x$ axis in the positive direction, and the w...

A simple harmonic transverse wave propagates along the $x$ axis in the positive direction, and the waveform at the $t = 0$ time is shown by the solid line in the figure, and the waveform at the $t = 0.1 \mathrm {~s}$ time is shown by the dashed line in the figure. The source of the wave is not at the origin $O , P$ but is a mass point in the propagation medium at a distance from the origin $\mathrm { xP } = 2.5 \mathrm {~m}$. The following statement is correct ![](/images/questions/phys-waves/image-004.jpg)

  • A. A. The amplitude of the mass point $P$ is 0.05 m
  • B. B. The frequency of the wave may be 7.5 Hz.
  • C. C. The wave propagation speed may be $50 \mathrm {~m} / \mathrm { s }$
  • D. D. A point 5 m away from $P$ at the moment $t = 0.1 \mathrm {~s}$ must be moving in the positive direction of the $y$ axis.

Answer: C

Solution: A. Amplitude is the maximum distance of the point from the equilibrium position, from the figure, the amplitude of the point $P$ is 0.1 m, so A is wrong. B. The wave propagates in the positive direction along the $x$ axis. $$ t = n T + \frac { T } { 4 } \quad ( n = 0,1,2,3 , \cdots ) $$ The period is $$ T = \frac { 4 t } { 4 n + 1 } = \frac { 0.4 } { 4 n + 1 } \mathrm {~s} \quad ( n = 0,1,2,3 , \cdots ) $$ The frequency is $$ f = \frac { 1 } { T } = \frac { 4 n + 1 } { 0.4 } \mathrm {~Hz} = ( 10 n + 2.5 ) \mathrm { Hz } ( n = 0,1,2,3 , \cdots ) $$ So the frequency of the wave may be $2.5 \mathrm {~Hz} , 12.5 \mathrm {~Hz} , \cdots$, not 7.5 Hz, so B is wrong; C. The wave speed is $$ v = \lambda f = 4 \times ( 10 n + 2.5 ) \mathrm { m } / \mathrm { s } = ( 40 n + 10 ) \mathrm { m } / \mathrm { s } ( n = 0,1,2,3 , \cdots ) $$ C. The wave speed is $n = 1$ when $v = 50 \mathrm {~m} / \mathrm { s }$ is $n = 1$, so C is correct. D. The wave propagates along the $x$ axis in the positive direction, and at the $t = 0.1 \mathrm {~s}$ time $P$ is moving in the positive direction along the $y$ axis, and the mass points 5 m apart are at 7.5 m and - 2.5 m respectively. The mass at 7.5 m vibrates in the same positive direction along the $y$ axis as the mass at 3.5 m, while the mass at -2.5 m from the origin vibrates in the same negative direction along the $y$ axis as the mass at 1.5 m. D is wrong.

  • A. A. Doppler effect, interference phenomena, diffraction phenomena, reflection phenomena
  • B. B. Diffraction phenomena, reflection phenomena, Doppler effect, interference phenomena
  • C. C. Doppler effect, reflection phenomena, diffraction phenomena, interference phenomena
  • D. D. Diffraction phenomena, interference phenomena, Doppler effect, reflection phenomena

Answer: B

Solution: (1) water waves in a pond continue to propagate around obstacles belong to the phenomenon of diffraction; (2) thunder in the clouds roar unceasingly belong to the phenomenon of reflection; (3) color ultrasound to measure the change in the frequency of the reflected wave, so as to know the flow rate of the blood belongs to the Doppler effect; (4) with the active noise-canceling function of the earphones, according to the collected noise information to send out a specific sound wave can cancel the noise belongs to the phenomenon of interference.

Question 12: 16. The figure shows the waveforms generated by two wave sources $S _ { 1 } , S _ { 2 }$ in a sink, ...

16. The figure shows the waveforms generated by two wave sources $S _ { 1 } , S _ { 2 }$ in a sink, where the solid line shows the peaks and the dashed line shows the troughs. In order for the two waves to interfere in the region where they meet, they should be ![](/images/questions/phys-waves/image-005.jpg)

  • A. A. Increase the distance between $S _ { 1 }$ and $S _ { 2 }$.
  • B. B. Decrease the vibration period of $S _ { 1 }$.
  • C. C. Replace the water in the tank with oil
  • D. D. Increase the vibration frequency of $S _ { 2 }$.

Answer: B

Solution: BD. The medium is the same, then the wave propagation speed is certain, according to the figure can be seen, the wave source S1 propagation wavelength is larger, according to $v = \frac { \lambda } { T } = \lambda f$ According to $v = \frac { \lambda } { T } = \lambda f$, the frequency of the wave source $S _ { 1 }$ is smaller and the period is larger. In order to have a stable interference pattern, it is necessary to make the frequency or period of the two sources equal, that is, to reduce the period of the vibration of $S _ { 1 }$ or to reduce the frequency of the vibration of $S _ { 2 }$, so B is correct. D is wrong; AC. In order to produce a stable interference pattern, the frequency or period of the two wave sources need to be equal, independent of the spacing between $S _ { 1 }$ and $S _ { 2 }$ and the medium in the slot, so AC is wrong.

Question 13: 17. The wavelength of a wave in air is 40 cm and the velocity is $340 \mathrm {~m} / \mathrm { s }$,...

17. The wavelength of a wave in air is 40 cm and the velocity is $340 \mathrm {~m} / \mathrm { s }$, when refracted into medium 1, the wavelength changes to 100 cm, and the following statements are true

  • A. A. 8.5 Hz in air
  • B. B. 85 Hz in air
  • C. C. The propagation speed in medium 1 is $85 \mathrm {~m} / \mathrm { s }$
  • D. D. The propagation speed in medium 1 is $850 \mathrm {~m} / \mathrm { s }$

Answer: D

Solution: AB . The frequency in air is $$ f = \frac { v } { \lambda } = \frac { 340 } { 0.4 } \mathrm {~Hz} = 850 \mathrm {~Hz} $$ Option AB is incorrect ; CD. the frequency remains the same when it enters medium 1, then the speed of propagation is $$ v ^ { \prime } = \lambda f = 1 \times 850 \mathrm {~m} / \mathrm { s } = 850 \mathrm {~m} / \mathrm { s } $$ Option C is wrong, D is correct.

19. Coordinates at the origin of the wave source to do simple harmonic motion, it is formed in a uniform medium of simple harmonic transverse wave propagation along the $x$ axis in the positive direction, the source of the wave vibration 4 s after the wave is just transmitted to the $x = 12 \mathrm {~m}$ place, the waveform is shown in the figure. The following statement is correct ( ) ![](/images/questions/phys-waves/image-006.jpg)

  • A. A. The $M$ point is vibrating in the negative direction along the $y$ axis.
  • B. B. The magnitude of the wave's velocity in the medium is $3 \mathrm {~m} / \mathrm { s }$
  • C. C. The equilibrium position of the mass point $M$ is at $x = 4 \mathrm {~m}$.
  • D. D. The wave has a propagation period of 4 s

Answer: B

Solution: A. The wave propagates in the positive direction along the $x$ axis, and according to the "same side method", the $M$ point in the figure is vibrating in the positive direction along the $y$ axis, so A is wrong; B. According to $v = \frac { \Delta x } { \Delta t } = \frac { 12 } { 4 } \mathrm {~m} / \mathrm { s } = 3 \mathrm {~m} / \mathrm { s }$, so B is correct; C. The points on the transverse wave vibrate back and forth near their equilibrium positions, perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation, and the equilibrium position of point M is to the left of $x = 4 \mathrm {~m}$, so C is wrong; D. From the figure, the wave has a wavelength of 8 m and a period of $T = \frac { \lambda } { v } = \frac { 8 } { 3 } \mathrm {~s}$. D. The wave has a period of $T = \frac { \lambda } { v } = \frac { 8 } { 3 } \mathrm {~s}$.

Question 15: 20. An oscillator moves in simple harmonic motion along the $x$ axis with its equilibrium at the ori...

20. An oscillator moves in simple harmonic motion along the $x$ axis with its equilibrium at the origin. The displacement of the oscillator at $t = 0$ is $- 0.2 \mathrm {~m} , ~ t = 1 \mathrm {~s}$. The displacement of the oscillator at $- 0.2 \mathrm {~m} , ~ t = 1 \mathrm {~s}$ is 0.2 m. Then ( )

  • A. A. If the amplitude is ${ } _ { 0.2 \mathrm {~m} }$, the period of the oscillator may be $\frac { 1 } { 3 } \mathrm {~s}$
  • B. B. If the amplitude is ${ } _ { 0.2 \mathrm {~m} }$, the period of the oscillator may be $\frac { 4 } { 5 } \mathrm {~s}$
  • C. C. If the amplitude is 0.4 m, the period of the oscillator may be $\frac { 6 } { 11 } \mathrm {~s}$
  • D. D. If the amplitude is 0.4 m, the period of the oscillator may be $\frac { 5 } { 13 } \mathrm {~s}$

Answer: C

Solution: AB. If the amplitude is 0.2 m, then $$ n T + \frac { T } { 2 } = 1 \mathrm {~s} \quad ( n = 0,1,2,3 \cdots ) $$ then $$ T = \frac { 2 } { 2 n + 1 } \mathrm {~s} ( n = 0,1,2,3 \cdots ) $$ The period of the oscillator cannot be $\frac { 1 } { 3 } \mathrm {~s}$ or $\frac { 4 } { 5 } \mathrm {~s}$, option AB is wrong; CD. If the amplitude is 0.4 m, according to $$ 0.4 \times \sin \left( \frac { 2 \pi } { T } \times \frac { T } { 12 } \right) \mathrm { m } = 0.2 \mathrm {~m} $$ then we have $$ n T + \frac { T } { 2 } = 1 \mathrm {~s} \quad ( n = 0,1,2,3 \ldots ) $$ can be obtained $$ T = \frac { 2 } { 2 n + 1 } \mathrm {~s} ( n = 0,1,2,3 \ldots ) $$ Or $$ n T + \frac { T } { 6 } = 1 \mathrm {~s} ( n = 0,1,2,3 \ldots ) $$ can be obtained $$ T = \frac { 6 } { 6 n + 1 } \mathrm {~s} ( n = 0,1,2,3 \ldots ) $$ Or $$ n T + \frac { 5 T } { 6 } = 1 \mathrm {~s} \quad ( n = 0,1,2,3 \ldots ) $$ can be obtained $$ T = \frac { 6 } { 6 n + 5 } \mathrm {~s} ( n = 0,1,2,3 \ldots ) $$ which is found in the $$ T = \frac { 6 } { 6 n + 5 } \mathrm {~s} ( n = 0,1,2,3 \ldots ) $$ expression, when $n = 1$ $$ T = \frac { 6 } { 11 } \mathrm {~s} $$ But it is impossible to equal $\frac { 5 } { 13 } \mathrm {~s}$ in all three expressions, option C is correct and D is wrong.

Question 16: 21. A spring oscillator is in simple harmonic motion in the horizontal direction with period $T$, th...

21. A spring oscillator is in simple harmonic motion in the horizontal direction with period $T$, then the following statement is correct ( )

  • A. A. If the magnitude of the displacement of the oscillator in ${ } _ { \Delta t }$ time is equal to one amplitude, then ${ } _ { \Delta t }$ must be equal to an integer multiple of $\frac { T } { 4 }$.
  • B. B. If the speed of the oscillator is the same at ${ } _ { t }$ and ${ } _ { t + \Delta t }$, then ${ } _ { \Delta t }$ must be equal to an integer multiple of $\frac { T } { 2 }$.
  • C. C. If $\Delta t = \frac { T } { 2 }$, then the lengths of the springs must be equal at ${ } _ { t }$ and $t + \Delta t$.
  • D. D. If $\Delta t = \frac { T } { 2 }$, then the magnitude of the acceleration of the oscillator must be equal at the ${ } _ { t }$ and ${ } _ { t + \Delta t }$ moments.

Answer: D

Solution: A. Since the speed of the oscillator near the equilibrium position is greater than the speed away from the equilibrium position, then in the space near the equilibrium position of the left and right sides of the movement process, if ${ } _ { \Delta t }$ time the displacement of the oscillator is equal to the size of an amplitude, then ${ } _ { \Delta t }$ is smaller than $\frac { T } { 4 }$, namely [INLINE_FORMULA_3]] must be equal to an integer multiple of $\frac { T } { 4 }$, so A is wrong; B. According to the symmetry of simple harmonic motion, when $\Delta t$ is equal to an odd multiple of $\frac { T } { 2 }$, the oscillator arrives at the symmetry of the relative equilibrium position, and the velocity size of the oscillator is equal to that of the time of $t$, and they are in opposite directions, so B is wrong. B is wrong; C. If $\Delta t = \frac { T } { 2 }$, then the oscillator just reached the symmetry point relative to the equilibrium position, this time relative to the equilibrium position of the size of the displacement C. If $\Delta t = \frac { T } { 2 }$, the oscillator just reaches the symmetry point relative to the equilibrium position, then the displacements relative to the equilibrium position are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction, and the lengths of the springs are not equal at the $t$ and $t + \Delta t$ moments; D. If $\Delta t = \frac { T } { 2 }$, the oscillator just reaches the symmetry point relative to the equilibrium position, then the acceleration of the oscillator at the ${ } _ { t }$ and $t + \Delta t$ moments must be equal, so D is correct.

Question 17: 22. As shown in the figure represents two columns of the same frequency coherent water waves in the ...

22. As shown in the figure represents two columns of the same frequency coherent water waves in the moment of superposition, the solid line in the figure indicates the wave peaks, dashed line indicates the wave valley, known as two columns of the amplitude of the wave are 1 cm, the wave speed is $2 \mathrm {~m} / \mathrm { s }$, the wavelength of 0.2 m, the following statement is correct () ![](/images/questions/phys-waves/image-007.jpg)

  • A. A. Points B and D are points where the vibration is intensified and the displacement is always at its maximum.
  • B. B. Points A and C are points where the vibration is weakened.
  • C. C. The difference in height between points B and D at that moment is 2 cm.
  • D. D. $\mathrm { t } = 0.025 \mathrm {~s}$ Time point A is 2 cm from the equilibrium position.

Answer: B

Solution: Point B is the peak and crest, and point D is the superposition of the trough and trough, both of which are vibration intensification points, with maximum amplitude, but the displacement is sometimes large and sometimes small. Therefore, A is wrong. Point A and point C are superposition of wave crest and trough, which is a point of weakening of vibration, so B is correct; point D is superposition of wave crest and wave peak at that moment, and vibration is strengthened, and the displacement away from the equilibrium position is $2 \mathrm {~cm} , \mathrm {~B}$ The point is superposition of wave trough and wave valley at that moment, and vibration is strengthened, and the displacement away from the equilibrium position is - 2 cm, then $\mathrm { D } , \mathrm {~B}$ The difference in height between the two points at that moment is 4 cm; so C is wrong. The period of wave propagation is $T = \frac { \lambda } { v } = \frac { 0.2 } { 2 } \mathrm {~s} = 0.1 \mathrm {~s}$, and then $\mathrm { t } = 0.025 \mathrm {~s}$ is $1 / 4$ period, point A is the meeting of the wave peak and the wave valley, so the displacement away from the equilibrium is 0. Therefore, D is wrong. Therefore, D is wrong. Therefore, B is wrong.

  • A. A. Wave speed frequency and wavelength are constant
  • B. B. Wave speed is constant, frequency and wavelength change
  • C. C. Frequency remains constant, wave speed and wavelength change
  • D. D. Wave speed, frequency and wavelength all change

Answer: C

Solution: The frequency of a wave is determined by the wave source, when the wave goes from one medium to another, the frequency remains unchanged. Wave speed is determined by the medium, different media, wave speed is different, by the formula $v = \lambda f$, $f$ unchanged, $v$ change, then $\lambda$ change, so C is correct. Therefore, C is correct.

26. As shown in the figure, two students respectively pull the ends of a 1.2 m long rope $\mathrm { A } , \mathrm {~B} , ~ t = 0$ moment, the two students at the same time shake the ends of the rope, so that A, B began to do simple harmonic vibration in the direction of the firm straight, resulting in the propagation of two columns of waves along the rope, the source of vibration for the wave speed of A is ${ } ^ { ~ } { } ^ { ~ 1 }$, vibration for the source of the wave speed of B is ${ } ^ { ~ } { } ^ { ~ 2 }$. [INLINE_FORMULA_2]]. $t = 0$ At 4 s, the two columns of waves propagate to exactly two points of $P , Q$, and the waveforms are shown in the figure, then ( ) ![](/images/questions/phys-waves/image-009.jpg)

  • A. A. The two wave trains oscillate in opposite directions
  • B. B. $v _ { 1 } = 2 v _ { 2 }$
  • C. C. The two wave trains have the same period
  • D. D. After 0.8 s, the two waves meet for the first time.

Answer: D

Solution: A. At the time shown in the figure, the two columns of waves propagate to the two points of $P , Q$, and according to the method of upward and downward slopes, we can get that the vibration direction of the two points of $P , Q$ is firm and straight upward, so the two columns of waves have the same direction of vibration, so A is wrong; B. The propagation speed of mechanical waves is related to the medium, because in the same medium propagation, so the propagation speed is the same, so B error; C. The vibration period of the point $A$ is $$ T _ { \mathrm { A } } = 2 t = 0.8 \mathrm {~s} $$ The period of vibration of point B is $$ T _ { \mathrm { A } } = 2 t = 0.8 \mathrm {~s} $$. $$ T _ { \mathrm { B } } = t = 0.4 \mathrm {~s} $$ Therefore, C is wrong; D.The two trains of waves travel at the same speed both $$ v = \frac { x } { t } = \frac { 0.2 } { 0.4 } \mathrm {~m} / \mathrm { s } = 0.5 \mathrm {~m} / \mathrm { s } $$ From the figure, we can see that the two waves meet for the first time at $x = 0.6 \mathrm {~m}$, then the time from the moment shown in the figure to the first encounter is $$ \Delta t = \frac { \Delta x } { v } = \frac { 0.6 - 0.2 } { 0.5 } \mathrm {~s} = 0.8 \mathrm {~s} $$ Therefore, D is correct.

29. To the prime $Q$ as the source of the mechanical wave on the rope to the prime $P$ when the waveform is shown in the figure, the following statements are correct ) ![](/images/questions/phys-waves/image-012.jpg)

  • A. A. The rope wave is a longitudinal wave
  • B. B. $Q$ The starting direction of the point is facing downward.
  • C. C. When the $Q$ point stops vibrating, the rope wave does not disappear immediately.
  • D. D. The point $Q$ may move to the position of the point $P$.

Answer: C

Solution: A. The direction of vibration of the point in the rope wave is perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave, which is a transverse wave, not a longitudinal wave, so A is wrong; B. When the wave reaches the point $P$, the same side method shows that the vibration direction of the point $P$ is upward, because the vibration direction of the wave source is the same as the vibration direction of the point, so the vibration direction of the point $Q$ is upward, so B is wrong; C. After the source stops vibrating, the wave that has been propagated will not disappear immediately, but will continue to propagate, so C is correct; D. In the process of mechanical wave propagation, the point will only vibrate near its equilibrium position and will not migrate with the wave, so it is impossible for the point $Q$ to move to the position of the point $P$, so D is wrong.

Active noise-canceling headphones are increasingly popular among young people because of their unique sense of hearing, and its noise reduction principle as shown in the figure, there are microphones in the headset dedicated to the collection of ambient noise, the headset collects the ambient noise will be produced and the phase of the ambient noise opposite to the noise-canceling sound waves, so as to achieve the effect of noise reduction. The solid line in the figure corresponds to the ambient noise, the dotted line corresponds to the noise reduction sound wave generated by the headset, then the following statement is correct ![](/images/questions/phys-waves/image-013.jpg)

  • A. A. The noise reduction process applies the Doppler effect of sound waves
  • B. B. Noise-canceling sound waves and ambient noise sound waves may not travel through the air at the same magnitude.
  • C. C. Noise reduction sound waves must be equal in frequency to ambient noise sound waves.
  • D. D. The $P$ point is the point where the vibration is intensified.

Answer: C

Solution: ABC. As can be seen from the figure, noise reduction sound waves and environmental sound waves of equal wavelength, equal propagation speed in the same medium, then the same frequency, superimposed on the interference phenomenon occurs, due to the two columns of sound waves of the same amplitude, phase reversal, so the vibration is weakened, and play a role in noise reduction, it is AB wrong, C is correct; D. As can be seen from the figure, the two sound waves make the $P$ point vibrate in the opposite direction, so the $P$ point is the point of vibration weakening, so D is wrong.

  • D. D. An object in simple harmonic motion must have zero restoring force each time it passes the equilibrium position.

Answer: D

Solution: A.According to the definition of simple harmonic motion, when the object is doing simple harmonic motion, the return force is $F = - k x , k$ is the scale factor, not necessarily the strength coefficient of the spring, $x$ is the displacement of the object with respect to the equilibrium position, not the length of the spring, because $x$ is the change of the return force, so A, C is wrong. Since $x$ is variable, the restoring force cannot be constant; B. The direction of the restoring force is always opposite to the direction of displacement. According to Newton's second law, the direction of acceleration must be opposite to the direction of displacement, so B is wrong; D. The return force of an object in simple harmonic motion must be zero every time it passes the equilibrium position, so D is correct.

Figure A shows a series of simple harmonic transverse wave in $t = 0.2 s$, Figure B is the wave on the $A$ vibration image of the mass point, then the following judgment is correct () [IMAGE_2]] A ![](/images/questions/phys-waves/image-015.jpg) B how (what extent)

  • A. A. The wave speed of this train is $2.5 \mathrm {~m} / \mathrm { s }$
  • B. B. This wave propagates positively along the $x$ axis.
  • C. C. If this wave encounters another simple harmonic transverse wave and undergoes stable interference, the frequency of the wave encountered is 2.5 Hz
  • D. D. If the wave is diffracted by an obstacle, the obstacle must be smaller than 40 cm.

Answer: C

Solution: A. From the image: $T = 0.4 \mathrm {~s} , \lambda = 0.4 \mathrm {~m}$, the wave speed is $v = \frac { \lambda } { T } = \frac { 0.4 } { 0.4 } \mathrm {~m} / \mathrm { s } = 1 \mathrm {~m} / \mathrm { s }$, so A is wrong . B. From Figure B: $t = 0.2 \mathrm {~s}$ moment point $A$ is vibrating upward through the equilibrium position, according to the translation method of the waveform can be known that the wave propagates along the negative direction of the $x$ axis. Therefore, B is wrong. C. Stable interference requires the same frequency, so the frequency of the wave encountered is $f = 1 / T = 2.5 \mathrm {~Hz}$ to produce stable interference, so C is correct. D. If the wave encounters an obstacle that diffracts significantly, the obstacle must be about the same size or smaller than 40 cm, so D is incorrect.

  • D. D. The wave propagates to the left, $V = 4.0 \mathrm {~m} / \mathrm { s }$

Answer: C

Solution: A. From the figure, the amplitude $$ A = 10 \mathrm {~cm} $$ amplitude of each mass on the wave is 10 cm , A is wrong; B. At $t = 0$, the point $P$ vibrates upward, so the wave propagates to the right, and then the point $Q$ vibrates downward, i.e., the velocity of the point $Q$ is in the negative direction of the $y$ axis. FORMULA_8]] axis in the negative direction, B is wrong; CD. From the wave image and the vibration image of the point $P$, we can see that BLOCK_FORMULA_1]] is a wave that vibrates in the negative direction of the $P$ axis. According to $$ v = \frac { \lambda } { T } $$ Solve for $$ v = 2 \mathrm {~m} / \mathrm { s } $$ C is correct and D is incorrect.

36. As shown in the figure is a rope wave formation process. The simple harmonic motion of point 1 in the straight direction under the action of an external force drives point $2 , 3 , 4 \ldots \ldots$ to vibrate up and down in turn, transmitting the vibration from the left end to the right end of the rope. At $t = \frac { T } { 4 }$, point 5 is just about to start moving. The following statement is correct. ![](/images/questions/phys-waves/image-018.jpg) ![](/images/questions/phys-waves/image-019.jpg)

  • A. A. At $t = \frac { T } { 4 }$, mass 5 starts to move downward.
  • B. B. $t = \frac { T } { 4 }$, the direction of acceleration of mass 3 is upward.
  • C. C. For a short period of time, starting from $t = \frac { T } { 2 }$, the velocity of point 8 is increasing.
  • D. D. The acceleration of point 8 is increasing for a short period of time starting from $t = \frac { T } { 2 }$.

Answer: D

Solution: A. Point 1 is the source of the wave, and the wave propagates to the right, $t = \frac { T } { 4 }$ when point 5 starts to vibrate, and the direction of vibration is upward, so A is wrong; B. From the figure, we can see that the displacement of point 3 is positive at $t = \frac { T } { 4 }$, so the direction of the restoring force is downward, and the direction of acceleration is downward, so B is wrong; C. In $t = \frac { T } { 2 }$, the vibration of point 8 is the same as that of point 4 in $t = \frac { T } { 4 }$, so point 8 vibrates upward and its speed decreases in $t = \frac { T } { 2 }$, so C is wrong; D. From ${ } ^ { t = \frac { T } { 2 } \text { 开始的一小段时间内,质点 } 8 \text { vibrating upward, displacement increasing, acceleration also increasing, so D } }$ is correct;

As shown in Fig. (a), in the same medium, $\mathrm { S } _ { 1 } , \mathrm {~S} _ { 2 }$ two wave sources vibrate at the same time at $t = 0$, forming a wave with the same frequency. In the same medium, $\mathrm { S } _ { 1 } , \mathrm {~S} _ { 2 }$ two wave sources vibrate at the same time at $t = 0$, forming two columns of mechanical waves with the same frequency, and the vibration image of the wave source ${ } ^ { \mathrm { S } _ { 1 } }$ is shown in Fig. (b). diagram is shown in Fig. (c). The $P$ is a point in the medium, and the distances between the $P$ point and the wave source $\mathrm { S } _ { 1 } , \mathrm {~S} _ { 2 }$ are $7 \mathrm {~m} , 10 \mathrm {~m}$. The following statements are correct ( ) ![](/images/questions/phys-waves/image-020.jpg) ![](/images/questions/phys-waves/image-021.jpg) Figure (b) ![](/images/questions/phys-waves/image-022.jpg) Figure (c)

  • A. A. The vibration direction of the mass point $P$ is along the negative direction of the $y$ axis.
  • B. B. The amplitude of the mass $t = 1 \mathrm {~s}$ after $P$ is 1 cm.
  • C. C. $t = 1.25 \mathrm {~s}$ when the displacement of the mass $P$ is 0
  • D. D. In the time from $t = 0$ to $t = 2 \mathrm {~s}$, the distance traveled by the point $P$ is 112 cm.

Answer: D

Solution: A. Combining the image of the wave source ${ } ^ { S _ { 2 } }$ in ${ } ^ { t = 0.25 s }$ with the image of the wave in Fig. (c), it can be seen that at this time the vibration direction of the mass that has just begun to vibrate is along the negative direction of the ${ } ^ { y }$ axis, and the vibration direction of the mass and the wave source are the same, therefore, the source is ${ } ^ { S _ { 2 } }$, and the direction of vibration is along the negative direction of the ${ } ^ { y }$ axis. FORMULA_11]] is in the negative direction along the ${ } ^ { y }$ axis. According to the vibration image of wave source ${ } ^ { \mathrm { S } _ { 1 } }$ shown in Fig. (b), the vibration direction of wave source ${ } ^ { \mathrm { S } _ { 1 } }$ is upward. $$ P S _ { 1 } < P S _ { 2 } $$ is the wave source ${ } ^ { \mathrm { S } _ { 1 } }$. It can be seen that the vibration of wave source ${ } ^ { \mathrm { S } _ { 1 } }$ is first transmitted to ${ } ^ { P }$, so the vibration direction of ${ } ^ { P }$ is the same as that of wave source ${ } ^ { \mathrm { S } _ { 1 } }$, and it is the same as that of wave source ${ } ^ { \mathrm { S } _ { 1 } }$, and it is the same as that of wave source ${ } ^ { \mathrm { S } _ { 1 } }$ along the ${ } ^ { \mathrm { S } _ { 1 } }$. FORMULA_19]] axis, so A is wrong; B. From the figure BLOCK_FORMULA_1]] is the same vibration direction along ${ } ^ { y }$. Then the wave speed is $$ v = \frac { \lambda } { T } = \frac { 2 } { 0.2 } \mathrm {~m} / \mathrm { s } = 10 \mathrm {~m} / \mathrm { s } $$ $\mathrm { S } _ { 1 }$ and $\mathrm { S } _ { 2 }$ The time for the vibration to travel to $P$ is respectively \$\$\begin{aligned} \& t _ { 1 } = \frac { P S _ { 1 } } { v } = \frac { 7 } { 10 } \mathrm {~s} = 0.7 \mathrm {~s} <br> \& t _ { 2 } = \frac { P S _ { 2 } } { v } = \frac { 10 } { 10 } \mathrm {~s} = 1 \mathrm {~s} \end{aligned}$$ $P$ 点到两波源的波程差为 $$\Delta x = P S _ { 2 } - P S _ { 1 } = 10 \mathrm {~m} - 7 \mathrm {~m} = 3 \mathrm {~m}\$\$ The difference in wave range from point $P$ to the two sources is an odd multiple of half wavelength, and the vibration of the two sources is in opposite directions, so point $P$ is the point of vibration enhancement, and the vibration of the wave source ${ } ^ { \mathrm { S } }$ is transmitted to the ${ } ^ { 1 \mathrm {~s} }$ when the wave source ${ } ^ { 1 \mathrm {~s} }$ is just in the middle of the wave. The wave source ${ } ^ { 1 \mathrm {~s} }$ reaches point ${ } ^ { P }$ at ${ } ^ { P }$, so the amplitude of the mass point ${ } ^ { P }$ after ${ } ^ { 1 \mathrm {~s} }$ is 5 cm, so B is wrong; C. It can be seen that at ${ } ^ { t = 1.25 s }$, the wave source ${ } ^ { \mathrm { S } _ { 1 } }$ is at the point of ${ } ^ { t = 1.25 s }$. $$ t = 1.25 \mathrm {~s} - t _ { 1 } = 1.25 \mathrm {~s} - 0.7 \mathrm {~s} = 0.55 \mathrm {~s} $$ At ${ } ^ { P }$, the vibration condition of wave source $\mathrm { S } _ { 1 }$ at $$ t = 1.25 \mathrm {~s} - t _ { 1 } = 1.25 \mathrm {~s} - 0.7 \mathrm {~s} = 0.55 \mathrm {~s} $$ is transmitted to the point ${ } ^ { P }$, and at this time the wave source $\mathrm { S } _ { 1 }$ is located in the valley of the wave; and the wave source ${ } ^ { \mathrm { S } }$ at $$ t = 1.25 \mathrm {~s} - t _ { 2 } = 1.25 \mathrm {~s} - 1.0 \mathrm {~s} = 0.25 \mathrm {~s} $$ D. At $t = 1.25 \mathrm {~s}$, the particle $P$ is in the valley; D. In the time from $t = 0.7 \mathrm {~s}$ to $t = 1 \mathrm {~s}$, the distance traveled by particle $P$ is $$ s _ { 1 } = 6 A _ { 1 } = 12 \mathrm {~cm} $$ In the time from $t = 1 \mathrm {~s}$ to $t = 2 \mathrm {~s}$, the distance traveled by the particle $P$ is $$ s _ { 2 } = 5 \times 4 \left( A _ { 1 } + A _ { 2 } \right) = 100 \mathrm {~cm} $$ In the time from $t = 0$ to $t = 2 \mathrm {~s}$, the distance traveled by the point $P$ is 112 cm, so D is correct.

Question 33: 38. An image of a simple harmonic transverse waveform at time $t = 0$ is shown in the figure. After ...

38. An image of a simple harmonic transverse waveform at time $t = 0$ is shown in the figure. After $\Delta t = 0.4 \mathrm {~s}$ time, exactly the first repetition of the waveform shown occurs. Based on the above information, the following options cannot be determined ( ) ![](/images/questions/phys-waves/image-023.jpg)

  • A. A. The magnitude of the speed of propagation of the wave
  • B. B. $\Delta t = 1.2 \mathrm {~s}$ The distance traveled by the point P in time.
  • C. C. $t = 0.6 \mathrm {~s}$ Velocity direction of the point P at the time
  • D. D. $t = 0.6 \mathrm {~s}$ Waveform of the moment

Answer: C

Solution: A. From the figure, we can see that the wavelength of the transverse wave is 8 m, from the meaning of the question can be obtained $$ \Delta t = T = 0.4 \mathrm {~s} $$ Then the magnitude of the speed of propagation of the wave is $$ v = \frac { \lambda } { T } = \frac { 8 } { 0.4 } \mathrm {~m} / \mathrm { s } = 20 \mathrm {~m} / \mathrm { s } $$ Therefore, A does not fit the question; B. According to the meaning of the question can be known, $\Delta t = 1.2 \mathrm {~s}$ time, the mass point vibration of the 3 cycles, the mass point P through the distance is $$ s = 3 \times 4 A = 120 \mathrm {~cm} $$ Therefore, B does not fit the question; C. Because the direction of wave propagation is not clear, it is not possible to determine the direction of the speed of point P. Therefore, C is consistent with the meaning of the question; D. When $t = 0.6 \mathrm {~s}$, the wave propagates $\frac { 3 } { 2 } T$, then the waveform is symmetric with the ${ } _ { t = 0 }$ moment about the $x$ axis, that is, the waveform at the $t = 0.6 \mathrm {~s}$ moment can be determined. The waveform at the $t = 0.6 \mathrm {~s}$ time can be determined.

Solution: A. There are mechanical waves must be mechanical vibration, mechanical vibration does not propagate the vibration of the medium, there will be no mechanical waves, so A error; B. The camera lens on the transmittance film utilized by the principle of light interference made, so B error; C. According to the Doppler effect can be known, received on Earth from a distant planet of the frequency of light waves become lower, you can judge that the planet is far away from us, so C error; D. The end of the first sound, because the sound wave wavelength is longer, easy to diffraction phenomenon; and the wavelength of the light wave is shorter, not easy to diffraction phenomenon, that is, the sound wave is more likely to diffraction than the light wave, so D error.

Topic Overview

Simple harmonic vibrations, which are periodic motions of an object under the action of a repulsive force, are the basis for understanding waves. Mechanical waves are the propagation of vibrations in a medium, and sound waves are typical examples. In the exam, this part of the content is often combined with images to analyze the vibration parameters (e.g., amplitude, period), and to examine the properties of waves (e.g., interference, diffraction, Doppler effect) in the application of practical phenomena.
