Problem 1.4 A wave traveling along a string is given by
y(x,t) = 2 sin(4πt + 10πx) (cm),
where x is the distance along the string in meters and y is the vertical displacement. Determine: (a) the direction of wave
travel, (b) the reference phase φ0 , (c) the frequency, (d) the wavelength, and (e) the phase velocity.
Solution:
(a) We start by converting the given expression into a cosine function of the form given by (1.17):
π
y(x,t) = 2 cos 4πt + 10πx − (cm).
2
Since the coefficients of t and x both have the same sign, the wave is traveling in the negative x-direction.
(b) From the cosine expression, φ0 = −π/2.
(c) ω = 2π f = 4π,
f = 4π/2π = 2 Hz.
(d) 2π/λ = 10π,
λ = 2π/10π = 0.2 m.

Problem 1.7 A wave traveling along a string in the +x-direction is given by
y1 (x,t) = A cos(ωt − β x),
where x = 0 is the end of the string, which is tied rigidly to a wall, as shown in Fig. (P1.7). When wave y1 (x,t) arrives at the
wall, a reflected wave y2 (x,t) is generated. Hence, at any location on the string, the vertical displacement ys will be the sum
of the incident and reflected waves:
ys (x,t) = y1 (x,t) + y2 (x,t).
(a) Write down an expression for y2 (x,t), keeping in mind its direction of travel and the fact that the end of the string
cannot move.
(b) Generate plots of y1 (x,t), y2 (x,t) and ys (x,t) versus x over the range −2λ ≤ x ≤ 0 at ωt = π/4 and at ωt = π/2.
Figure P1.7: Wave on a string tied to a wall at x = 0 (Problem 1.7).
Solution:
(a) Since wave y2 (x,t) was caused by wave y1 (x,t), the two waves must have the same angular frequency ω, and since
y2 (x,t) is traveling on the same string as y1 (x,t), the two waves must have the same phase constant β . Hence, with its
direction being in the negative x-direction, y2 (x,t) is given by the general form
y2 (x,t) = B cos(ωt + β x + φ0 ), (1.1)
where B and φ0 are yet-to-be-determined constants. The total displacement is
ys (x,t) = y1 (x,t) + y2 (x,t) = A cos(ωt − β x) + B cos(ωt + β x + φ0 ).
Since the string cannot move at x = 0, the point at which it is attached to the wall, ys (0,t) = 0 for all t. Thus,
ys (0,t) = A cos ωt + B cos(ωt + φ0 ) = 0. (1.2)
(i) Easy Solution: The physics of the problem suggests that a possible solution for (1.2) is B = −A and φ0 = 0, in which case
we have
y2 (x,t) = −A cos(ωt + β x). (1.3)
(ii) Rigorous Solution: By expanding the second term in (1.2), we have
A cos ωt + B(cos ωt cos φ0 − sin ωt sin φ0 ) = 0,
c Prentice Hall
or
(A + B cos φ0 ) cos ωt − (B sin φ0 ) sin ωt = 0. (1.4)
This equation has to be satisfied for all values of t. At t = 0, it gives
A + B cos φ0 = 0, (1.5)
and at ωt = π/2, (1.4) gives

B sin φ0 = 0. (1.6)
Equations (1.5) and (1.6) can be satisfied simultaneously only if
A=B=0 (1.7)
or
A = −B and φ0 = 0. (1.8)
Clearly (1.7) is not an acceptable solution because it means that y1 (x,t) = 0, which is contrary to the statement of the problem.
The solution given by (1.8) leads to (1.3).

Problem 1.15 A laser beam traveling through fog was observed to have an intensity of 1 (µW/m2 ) at a distance of 2 m
from the laser gun and an intensity of 0.2 (µW/m2 ) at a distance of 3 m. Given that the intensity of an electromagnetic wave
is proportional to the square of its electric-field amplitude, find the attenuation constant α of fog.
Solution: If the electric field is of the form
E(x,t) = E0 e−αx cos(ωt − β x),
then the intensity must have a form
I(x,t) ≈ [E0 e−αx cos(ωt − β x)]2

≈ E02 e−2αx cos2 (ωt − β x)
or
I(x,t) = I0 e−2αx cos2 (ωt − β x)
where we define I0 ≈ E02 . We observe that the magnitude of the intensity varies as I0 e−2αx . Hence,
at x = 2 m, I0 e−4α = 1 × 10−6 (W/m2 ),

at x = 3 m, I0 e−6α = 0.2 × 10−6 (W/m2 ).

Problem 2.34 A 50-Ω lossless line is terminated in a load impedance ZL = (30 − j20) Ω.
(a) Calculate Γ and S.

(b) It has been proposed that by placing an appropriately selected resistor across the line at a distance dmax from the load
(as shown in Fig. P2.34(b)), where dmax is the distance from the load of a voltage maximum, then it is possible to
render Zi = Z0 , thereby eliminating reflection back to the end. Show that the proposed approach is valid and find the
value of the shunt resistance.

Applying (2.79) at d = dmax = 0.33λ , for which β l = (2π/λ ) × 0.33λ = 2.07 radians, the value of Zin before adding the

Thus, at the location A (at a distance dmax from the load), the input impedance is purely real. If we add a shunt resistor R in
parallel such that the combination is equal to Z0 , then the new Zin at any point to the left of that location will be equal to Z0 .
