PHY138 – Waves Lecture 9 Quarter Review, including: Simple Harmonic Motion: Force, Energy Mass on spring / Pendulum Damped Oscillations, Resonance Traveling Waves, Power and Intensity Standing Waves, Interference, Beats Ray Model of Light, Ray-Tracing Reflection, Refraction of Light

Tomorrow evening, 6:00 PM It is mandatory that you go to the room assigned to your tutorial group. You should have no communication device (phone, pager, etc.) within your reach or field of vision during the test. The test has eight equally weighted multiple-choice questions (8 marks each). The test has one multi-part problem counting for 36 marks; show your work.

Don’t forget… Your student card. A non-programmable calculator without text storage and communication capability. A single original, handwritten 22 × 28 cm sheet of paper on which you have written anything you wish on both sides. We will supply any numerical constants you might need. A dark-black, soft-lead 2B or 2HB pencil with an eraser.

Some more words to the wise… A good aid-sheet is well organized, easy to read, and contains all the major equations from the assigned sections from the reading. Copies of detailed specific problem solutions are unlikely to help. Be ready to think; get a good night’s sleep tonight. Keep in mind: Your best 3 out of 4 tests will count for 30% of your mark in the course.

The Eye

Mass on Spring versus Pendulum Mass on a Spring Pendulum Condition for S.H.M. Small oscillations (spring obeys Hooke’s Law) Small angles (sinθ ≈ θ) Natural frequency [rad/s] Period

History Graph

Sinusoidal Wave Snapshot Graph k = 2π/λ is the wave number

Sinusoidal Wave History Graph ω=2π/T is the angular frequency

Sound Waves can be described either by the longitudinal displacement of the individual particles, or by the air or fluid pressure.

Electric and Magnetic fields, when oscillated, can create waves which carry energy. At certain frequencies, we see electro-magnetic waves as Light.

Power and Intensity The Power, P, of any wave source is how much energy per second is radiated as waves [units = Watts] The Intensity, I, is the energy rate per area. This determines how loud (sound) or bright (light) the wave is. I=P/a, where a is an area perpendicular to the wave direction. At a distance r from a small source, the intensity is I=P/(4πr2)

Doppler Effect

Principle of Superposition If two or more waves combine at a given point, the resulting disturbance is the sum of the disturbances of the individual waves. Two traveling waves can pass through each other without being destroyed or even altered!

Standing Wave: The superposition of two 1-D sinusoidal waves traveling in opposite directions.

Harmonic frequencies of Standing Waves Transverse standing wave on a string clamped at both ends: there are nodes in displacement at both ends. Standing sound wave in a tube open at both ends: there are nodes in pressure both ends.

Wave Interference Two waves moving in the same direction with the same amplitude and same frequency form a new wave with amplitude: where a is the amplitude of either of the individual waves, and is their phase difference.

Beat frequency Beats are loud sounds separated by soft sounds The beat frequency is the difference of the frequencies of the two waves that are being added: The frequency of the actual sound is the average of the frequencies of the two waves that are being added:

The Law of Reflection

Snell’s Law of Refraction

Total Internal Reflection Can only occur when n2<n1 θc = critical angle. When θ1 ≥ θc, no light is transmitted through the boundary; 100% reflection
