Homework Statement
hi all, why the wave is reflected back form the centre when it is at the distance of 200mm? why the wave can't go beyond 200mm to reach 250mm from the side of bowl?
TSny said:Can you describe the shape of the wavefront just after tapping the side of the bowl? I'm not sure, but you might have a misconception about this. If in doubt, try it in the kitchen
What does the wavefront in the problem look like at t = 0.8 s?
desmond iking said:the wavefront move until the another end from one end and reflect back.
It does seem wrong to use the word "reflect" to describe the wave progressing through the centre of the bowl. There is no discontinuity in the medium there for a wave to "reflect" off.desmond iking said:hi all, why the wave is reflected back form the centre when it is at the distance of 200mm? why the wave can't go beyond 200mm to reach 250mm from the side of bowl?

TSny said:Did you do the experiment?
Here is what I observed. Picture A shows the water sitting still in the bowl before tapping the bowl.
B, C, and D show times just after tapping the bowl on the left with the handle of a knife.
desmond iking said:Yes. Is it wrong?Nathanael said:So you're saying it would be like a line moving across the bowl and then back?
Perhaps you could write a few sentences in response to those trying to help you? By confining yourself to a single staccato phrase, you have misled some into thinking you can't conceive of circular wave propagation. Well. I think you have managed it, anyway ...desmond iking said:Circular waves spread out?
The "Radius of circular impulse wave in the hemisphere bowl" is a measurement used to describe the distance from the center of a hemisphere bowl to the edge of a circular impulse wave propagating through it.
The radius of circular impulse wave in the hemisphere bowl is calculated by taking the square root of the product of the wave's wavelength and the depth of the hemisphere bowl.
The radius of circular impulse wave in the hemisphere bowl is affected by the wavelength of the wave, the depth of the hemisphere bowl, and the speed of the wave through the medium.
Understanding the radius of circular impulse wave in the hemisphere bowl can help scientists better understand the behavior of waves in different mediums, which has applications in various fields such as oceanography, seismology, and acoustics.
Yes, the radius of circular impulse wave in the hemisphere bowl can be measured experimentally by creating a wave in a hemisphere bowl and measuring the distance from the center to the edge of the wave using specialized equipment.
