1 can also be expressed in an equivalence form via the relationship c =  and  x = c  t Where  t is the time required to measure the frequency of the wave The more we know about the value of the frequency of the wave, the longer the time taken to measure it If u want to know exactly the precise value of the frequency, the required time is  t = infinity We will encounter more of this when we study the Heisenberg uncertainty relation in quantum physics The classical wave uncertain relationship

2 Wave can be made more ``localised’’ We have already shown that the 1-D plain wave is infinite in extent and can’t be properly localised (because for this wave,  x  infinity) However, we can construct a relatively localised wave by : adding up two plain waves of slightly different wavelengths (or equivalently, frequencies) Consider the `beat phenomena’

3

4 Two pure waves with slight difference in frequency and wave number    ,  k  k   k  are superimposed,

5 `envelop’ (group waves) Phase waves The resultant wave is a ‘wave group’ comprise of an `envelop’ (or the group wave) and a phase waves

6 As a comparison to a plain waves, a group wave is more ‘localised’ (due to the existence of the wave envelop. In comparison, a plain wave has no `envelop’ but only ‘phase wave’) It comprises of the group wave (the `envelop’) moving at group velocity v g =  /  k and the phase waves (individual waves oscillating inside the envelop) moving at phase velocity v p =  p /k p In general, v g =  /  k << v p = (      /(k 1 + k 2 ) because   ≈   , k 1 ≈ k 2

7 `envelop’ (group waves). Sometimes it’s called ‘modulation’ Phase waves

8 The energy carried by the group wave is concentrated in regions in which the amplitude of the envelope is large The speed with which the waves' energy is transported through the medium is the speed with which the envelope advances, not the phase wave In this sense, the envelop wave is of more ‘physical’ relevance in comparison to the individual phase waves (as far as energy transportation is concerned

9 Wave pulse – an even more `localised’ wave In the previous example, we add up only two slightly different wave to form a train of wave group An even more `localised’ group wave – what we call a “wavepulse” can be constructed by adding more sine waves of different numbers k i and possibly different amplitudes so that they interfere constructively over a small region  x and outside this region they interfere destructively so that the resultant field approach zero

10 A wavepulse – the wave is well localised within  x. This is done by adding a lot of waves with with their wave parameters {A i, k i,  i } slightly differ from each other (i = 1, 2, 3….as many as it can) such a wavepulse will move with a velocity (Compared to the group velocity considered earlier v g =  /  k)

11 Comparing the three kinds of wave  x  ∞ xx xx xx Which wave is the most localised?

12 Why are waves and particles so important in physics? Waves and particles are important in physics because they represent the only modes of energy transport (interaction) between two points. E.g we signal another person with a thrown rock (a particle), a shout (sound waves), a gesture (light waves), a telephone call (electric waves in conductors), or a radio message (electromagnetic waves in space).

13 Interactions take place only between (i) particles and particles (e.g. in particle-particle collision, a girl bangs into a guy) or

14 (ii) waves and particle, in which a particle gives up all or part of its energy to generate a wave, or when all or part of the energy carried by a wave is absorbed/dissipated by a nearby particle (e.g. a wood chip dropped into water, or an electric charge under acceleration, generates EM wave) An oscillating electron generates EM waves This is an example where particle is interacting with wave; energy transform from the electron’s K.E. to the energy propagating in the form of EM wave wave

15 Waves superimpose, not collide In contrast, two waves do not interact in the manner as particle-particle or particle-wave do Wave and wave simply “superimpose”: they pass through each other essentially unchanged, and their respective effects at every point in space simply add together according to the principle of superposition to form a resultant at that point -- a sharp contrast with that of two small, impenetrable particles

17 A plain 1-D EM wave (ie. a wave that propagates only in one direction) According to Maxwell theory, light is a form of energy that propagates in the form of electromagnetic wave Light is synonym to electromagnetic radiation Other forms of EM radiation include heat in the form of infra red radiation, visible light, gamma rays, radio waves, microwaves, x-rays

20 In the classical Maxwell theory, EM radiation is described as an oscillating electrical and magnetic fields that propagate in the form of a transverse wave it has two oscillating electric and magnetic fields characterised by E = E 0 sin(  t- kx +  ), B = B 0 sin(  t- kx +  ) {E,B}are orthogonal to each other The EM fields varies sinusoidally in time for any fixed point x in space extends over all possible values of x The EM wave is travelling in the direction orthogonal to the directions of the {E,B} fields (z in figure 3.1), so that {E,B,z} form a right- handed screw system The speed of light is related to the freq and wavelength as per c = =  k where  = 2  (angular frequency)  k = 2  (wave number),  phase constant

21 EM radiation transports energy The way how wave carries energy is described in terms of ‘energy flux’, in unit of energy per unit area per unit time Analogous to the energy transported by a stream of water in a hose Energy flux of the EM wave is described by the Poynting vector S = E x B = (E 0 B 0 /  0 )sin 2 (kz –  t +  ) S is perpendicular to the directions of both E and B; it describes the direction in which the energy is transported The rate of energy transported by the EM wave across an orthogonal area A is (in unit of energy per unit time)

22 The energy flux of the light, S = P ave /A, in unit of energy per unit time per unit area

23 Essentially, Light, according to Maxwell’s EM theory, is EM wave It display wave phenomenon such as diffraction and interference that is not possible for particles free particles only travel in straight line and they don’t bend when passing by a corner However, for light, it does
