Objectives Identify how waves transfer energy without transferring matter. Contrast transverse and longitudinal waves. Relate wave speed, wavelength, and.
Waves Energy can be transported by transfer of matter. For example by a thrown object. Energy can also be transported by wave motion without the transfer.

Wave propagation transverse motion of taut string use physics/mechanics to write partial differential wave equation for system e-m waves along coaxial cable shallow-water waves flexure waves string with friction travelling wave: general form sinusoidal insert generic trial form of solution complex exponential damped standing wave soliton speed of propagation find parameter values for which trial form is a solution dispersion relation string motion from initial conditions

Wave propagation in changing media today’s lecture: Huygens’ construction gradual change: refraction interface between media: refraction; continuity conditions obstacles: 1-D: boundary conditions 2/3-D: diffraction

Wave propagation waves are collective bulk disturbances, in which motion is a delayed response to neighbouring motions when propagation follows multiple routes the amplitudes are added waves propagate via all possible routes

Huygens’ wave construction wavefronts propagate from initial disturbance in all directions each point on the wavefront acts as a secondary source further wavefronts propagate from the secondary sources in the same fashion where wavefronts coincide (strong constructive interference), a new wavefront is formed Christiaan Huygens (1629-1695)
