  1. Vibrations & Waves Chapter 25 - This will be phun!

  2. 2 Types of Waves • Mechanical Wave: • Requires a mechanical medium • Sound, water, air, springs, or ropes are examples. • Electromagnetic Waves (EM): • Does not require a medium for motion to occur • Light, Radio, and X-rays are examples.

  3. “Making Waves”

  4. Transverse Waves • Causes the particles of the medium to vibrate perpendicularly to the direction of motion of the wave. • Piano and guitar strings are examples

  5. Longitudinal Waves • When particles of the medium move parallel to the direction of the waves. • Fluids, liquids, gases, or plasma usually transmit only longitudinal waves.

  6. Longitudinal and Transverse

  7. Longitudinal vs Transverse Waves Compression = Crest Rarefaction = Trough Energy Movement: parallel vs perpendicular Wavelength: compression + rarefaction crest + trough

  8. Surface Waves • They are a mixture of transverse and longitudinal waves. (water & Rayleigh) • The particles move both parallel and perpendicular to the direction of the wave.

  9. Wave Pulse and Traveling Wave • Wave Pulse: • A single disturbance that travels through a medium. • Traveling Wave: • Moving, periodic disturbances in a medium or field.

  10. Period • The shortest time interval during which the motion repeats itself. • Abbreviated with the capital letter,T • SI Unit: seconds (s)

  11. Frequency • The number of complete revolutions per second. • Frequency is abbreviated with a fancy ƒ. • Frequency is measured in Hertz, Hz. • A Hertz is one vibration per second (1/s).

  12. Equation Frequency and the period of a wave are related by the following equation. Frequency and Period are reciprocals of each other.

  13. Wavelength • The shortest distance between points where the wave pattern repeats itself. • The wavelength is abbreviated with the Greek letter, lambda, A: ? B: ? C: ? D: ? E: ?

  14. Wavelength The shortest distance between points where the wave pattern repeats itself. The wavelength is abbreviated with the Greek letter, lambda, A: 1 Wavelength B: 2X Amplitude C: Nodes D: Amplitude E: ½ Wavelength

  15. Vocabulary • Crests: • The high points of each wave motion. • Troughs: • The low points of each wave motion • Amplitude: • The maximum displacement from the rest or equilibrium position. • Nodes: • Where the wave crosses the equilibrium line. • Antinodes: • The bottom of the trough and the top of the crest

  16. Vocabulary Crests: The high points of each wave motion. Troughs: The low points of each wave motion Amplitude: The maximum displacement from the rest or equilibrium position. Nodes: Where the wave crosses the equilibrium line. Antinodes: The bottom of the trough and the top of the crest A&F: Crests (Antinodes) D&I: Troughs (Antinodes) B,E,G,J: Nodes

  17. To find the velocity of a wave • Wave velocity (v) is the product of the frequency (f) and wavelength (l). • To find out how fast a wave moves, you would use this equation…

  18. Amplitude and Energy • In order to produce a wave with a larger amplitude, more energy is needed. • Waves with larger amplitudes transfer more energy. • Amplitude does not affect frequency nor velocity.

  19. Waves Changing Mediums • Waves passing from one medium to another have the same frequency. • The wavelength change depends on the velocity change so that f is constant. • If the velocity increases, the wavelength increases (direct relationship).

  20. Superposition and Interference • Principle of Superposition: • Two or more waves occupying the same space. • Interference: • The result from two or more waves occupying the same space.

  21. Constructive Interference • Occurs when the wave displacements are in phase (crest meets crest or trough meets trough). • The result is a wave with a largeramplitude than the individual waves.

  22. Destructive Interference • Occurs when the wave displacements are out of phase (crest meets trough). • The result is a wave with a smalleramplitude than the individual waves. Red: wave moving right Blue: wave moving left Green: superposition (Red + Blue wave)

  23. Destructive Interference • If the pulses have unequal amplitudes, destructive interference is not complete. The pulse of the overlap is the algebraic sum of the two pulses. Red: wave moving right Blue: wave moving left Green: superposition (Red + Blue wave)

  24. Standing Wave • When the nodes and antinodes are stationary, the wave appears to be standing still. • If you increase the frequency of a standing wave, you will see more nodes.

  25. Superposition of Waves • A. Two pulses traveling in opposite directions • B. Two sine waves traveling in the same direction, but at different speeds • C. Two sine waves traveling in opposite directions. http://paws.kettering.edu/~drussell/Demos/superposition/superposition.html

  26. Nodes and Antinodes • Node: • The point in the medium that is completely undisturbed at all times. A node is produced by destructive interference of waves • Antinode: • The point of maximum displacement. An antinode is formed from constructive interference.

  37. Reflection of Waves • Normal: • A line that is drawn perpendicular to the barrier (green). • Angle of Incidence: • The angle between the incidence ray and the normal. • Angle of Reflection: • The angle between the normal and the reflected ray. >I = >R

  38. Refraction of Waves • Refraction: • The change in the direction of waves at the boundary between two different media.

  39. Diffraction of Waves • Diffraction: • The spreading of waves around the edge of a barrier. • Diffraction occurs when waves meet a small obstacle. • They can bend around the obstacle, producing waves behind it.
