2  Wave energy depends on amplitude, the more amplitude it has, the more energy it has

3 Occurs when a wave strikes a medium boundary and “bounces back” into original medium. Completely reflected waves have the same energy and speed as original wave.

4  Fixed-end reflection: The wave inverts  Open-end reflection: The wave stays the same Animation courtesy of Dr. Dan Russell, Kettering University

5 Transmission of wave from one medium to another. Refracted waves do not change frequency. Refracted waves may change speed and wavelength. (they will change in the same direction) Refraction is almost always accompanied by some reflection. Animation courtesy of Dr. Dan Russell, Kettering University

6 When two waves collide, they don’t bounce or stick like objects do, they interfere This means they form one wave for a moment and then continue on unchanged Principle of Superposition: the total amplitude of a wave is equal to the sum of the amplitudes of the individual waves When two waves collide, they don’t bounce or stick like objects do, they interfere This means they form one wave for a moment and then continue on unchanged Principle of Superposition: the total amplitude of a wave is equal to the sum of the amplitudes of the individual waves

7 Two waves with the same frequency and phase. Constructive Interference: add up the amplitudes Two waves with the same frequency and phase. Constructive Interference: add up the amplitudes

8 Two waves with same frequency and opposite phase. Destructive Interference: subtract the amplitudes Two waves with same frequency and opposite phase. Destructive Interference: subtract the amplitudes

11  Sounds are longitudinal waves, but if we graph them right, we can make them look like transverse waves.  When we graph the air motion involved in a pure sound tone versus position, we get what looks like a sine or cosine function.

13  Because of the phenomena of “superposition” and “interference” real world waveforms may not appear to be pure sine or cosine functions.  That is because most real world sounds are composed of multiple frequencies.  The human voice and most musical instruments produce complex sounds.

14 With the Oscilloscope we can view waveforms in the “time domain”. Pure tones will resemble sine or cosine functions, and complex tones will show other repeating patterns that are formed from multiple sine and cosine functions added together.

15  Human ears can hear sounds of frequency 20 hz to 20000 hz  Other animals can hear much higher frequency sounds  We commonly refer to frequency as pitch – a high frequency sound has a high pitch and a low frequency sound has a low pitch

20  Musical instruments vibrate in such a way that a standing wave pattern results  These patterns are only created within the instrument at specific frequencies of vibration; these frequencies are known as harmonic frequencies, or merely harmonics  The first frequency is called the fundamental frequency – it determines the pitch  The higher harmonics determine the “colour” or “timbre” of the note.

21 Sounds are heard for 2 fixed ends when a node is at the ends, they are heard in 2 open ends when an antinode is at the ends. In both cases, this first occurs at one-half of a wavelength. This is called the fundamental frequency. 2 open ends 2 fixed ends

22 Sounds in OPEN OR FIXED end pipes are produced at ALL HARMONICS!

23 Have an antinode at one end and a node at the other. Each sound you hear will occur when an antinode appears at the top of the pipe. You get your first sound or encounter your first antinode when the length of the actual pipe is equal to a quarter of a wavelength.

24 You have a NODE at the 2nd harmonic position, therefore NO SOUND is produced

25 You have an ANTINODE at the 3rd harmonic position, therefore SOUND is produced. CONCLUSION: Sounds in pipes with one open end are produced ONLY at ODD HARMONICS!

26 Harmonics - Closed at one end, open at one end

27  How long do you need to make an organ pipe (open at both ends) that produces a fundamental frequency of middle C (256 Hz)? The speed of the sound in air is 340 m/s.  B) What is the wavelength and frequency of the 2 nd harmonic? Draw the standing wave

28 The windpipe of a typical whooping crane is about 1.525- m long. What is the lowest resonant frequency of this pipe assuming it is a pipe closed at one end? Assume the speed of sound is 353 m/s 57.90 Hz
