A human wave. During sporting events within large, densely packed stadiums, spectators will send a wave (or pulse) around the stadium (Fig. 16-19). As the wave reaches a group of spectators, they stand with a cheer and then sit. At any instant, the width w of the wave is the distance from the leading edge (people are just about to stand) to the trailing edge (people have just sat down). Suppose a human wave travels a distance of 853 seats around a stadium in 39 s. with spectators requiring about 1.8 s to respond to the wave's  passage by standing and then sitting. What are (a) the wave speed v (in seats per second) and (b) width w (in number of seats)?

A sinusoidal wave is sent along a string with a linear density of 2.0 g/m. As it travels the kinetic energies of the mass elements along vary. Figure 16-37a gives the rate $$dK/dt$$ at which kinetic energy passes through the string elements at a particular instant, plotted as a function of distance $$x$$ along the string. Figure 16-37b is similar except that it gives the rate at which kinetic energy passes through a particular mass element (at a particular location), plotted as a function of time$$t$$. For both figures the scale on the vertical (rate) axis is set by $$R_s = 10 \space W$$.

A sand scorpion can detect the motion of a nearby beetle (its prey) by the waves the motion sends along the sand surface (Fig. 16-30).
