The speed of a wave through connected harmonic oscillators depends on the distance between them, the spring constant, and the what?
- Correct Answer: temperature
- density
- concentrations
- mass
Explanation: Most wave media act like a series of connected oscillators. For instance, a rope can be thought of as a large number of masses (molecules) connected by springs (intermolecular forces). The speed of a wave through connected harmonic oscillators depends on the distance between them, the spring constant, and the mass. In this way, we can model wave media using the principles of simple harmonic motion.
