Oscillations and Waves Physics 100 Chapt 8
2
Equilibrium (F net = 0)
3
Examples of unstable Equilibrium
4
Examples of Stable equilibrium
5
Destabilizing forces W N F net = 0
6
Destabilizing forces W N F net = away from equil
7
Destabilizing forces W N F net = away from equil destabilizing forces always push the system further away from equilibrium
8
W N F net = 0 restoring forces
9
W N F net = toward equil. restoring forces
10
W N F net = toward equil. restoring forces Restoring forces always push the system back toward equilibrium
11
Pendulum N W
12
Mass on a spring
13
Displacement vs time amplitude period (=T ) Displaced systems oscillate around stable equil. points Equil. point
14
Simple harmonic motion Equil. point T T= period = time for 1 complete oscillation f = frequency = # of oscillations/time = 1/T Pure Sine-like curve
15
Masses on springs Animations courtesy of Dr. Dan Russell, Kettering University
16
Not all oscillations are nice Sine curves A T Equil. point f=1/T
17
Natural frequency f= (1/2 ) g/l f= (1/2 ) k/m
18
Driven oscillators f = 0.4f 0 f = 1.1f 0 f = 1.6f 0 natural freq. = f 0
19
Resonance (f=f 0 )

Waves Animations courtesy of Dr. Dan Russell, Kettering University
21
Wave in a string Animations courtesy of Dr. Dan Russell, Kettering University
22
Pulsed Sound Wave
23
Harmonic sound wave
25
Harmonic wave wavelength = Wave speed =v Wave speed = v = distance time wavelength period = = T = f but 1/T=f V=f or f=V/ Shake end of string up & down with SHM period = T
26
Reflection (from a fixed end) Animations courtesy of Dr. Dan Russell, Kettering University
27
Reflection (from a loose end) Animations courtesy of Dr. Dan Russell, Kettering University
28
Adding waves pulsed waves Animations courtesy of Dr. Dan Russell, Kettering University
29
Adding waves Wave 1 Wave 2 resultant wave Two waves in same direction with slightly different frequencies “Beats” Animations courtesy of Dr. Dan Russell, Kettering University
30
Adding waves harmonic waves in opposite directions incident wave reflected wave resultant wave (standing wave) Animations courtesy of Dr. Dan Russell, Kettering University
31
Confined waves Only waves with wavelengths that just fit in survive (all others cancel themselves out)
32
Allowed frequencies =(2/3)L f 0 =V/ = V/2L f 1 =V/ = V/L=2f 0 = 2L =L =(2/5)L =L/2 f 2 =V/ = V /( 2/3) L=3f 0 f 3 =V/ = V /( 1/2) L=4f 0 f 4 =V/ = V /( 2/5) L=5f 0 Fundamental tone 1 st overtone 3 rd overtone 4 th overtone 2 nd overtone
33
Ukuleles, etc L 0 = L/2; f 0 = V/2L 1 = L; f 1 = V/L =2f 0 2 = 2L/3; f 2 = 3f 0 3 = L/2; f 3 = 4f 0 Etc… (V depends on the Tension & thickness Of the string)
34
Doppler effect
35
Wavelength same in all directions Sound wave stationary source
36
Wavelength in backward direction is longer (frequency is higher) Wavelength in forward direction is shorter (frequency is higher) Sound wave moving source
37
Waves from a stationary source Wavelength same in all directions
38
Waves from a moving source Wavelength in forward direction is shorter (frequency is higher) Wavelength in backward direction is longer (frequency is higher) v
39

Folsom prison blues Short wavelengths long wavelengths
41
