Mechanical Waves Longitudinal Wave Longitudinal Wave Wave direction and medium direction are parallel Wave direction and medium direction are parallel Sound, EM Waves, Compression Waves, p and s waves Sound, EM Waves, Compression Waves, p and s waves Transverse waves Transverse waves Medium moves at right (up and down) angles to the direction of wave movement Medium moves at right (up and down) angles to the direction of wave movement Water Water

Measurements of a Wave Wavelength (λ) – distance between two consecutive points on a wave measured in meters Wavelength (λ) – distance between two consecutive points on a wave measured in meters Frequency (f) – number of cycles of waves per second measured in 1/s or Hz Frequency (f) – number of cycles of waves per second measured in 1/s or Hz Period (T) – time per one cycle Period (T) – time per one cycle T = 1/f T = 1/f
10
Wave Function λ = v/f λ = v/f

Reflection Fixed end reflection Fixed end reflection Free end reflection Free end reflection
12
Law of Reflection Incident angle equals reflected angle Incident angle equals reflected angle θ i = θ r θ i = θ r
13
Interference Constructive – two waves have amplitudes on the same side of equilibrium and amplify one another Constructive – two waves have amplitudes on the same side of equilibrium and amplify one another Destructive interference – amplitudes are on opposite sides of equilibrium Destructive interference – amplitudes are on opposite sides of equilibrium Superposition Principle – use of algebraic sums to determine the amount of the amplified pulse Superposition Principle – use of algebraic sums to determine the amount of the amplified pulse
