4 Standing waves occur when both ends of a string are fixed. In that case, only waves which are motionless at the ends of the string can persist. There are nodes, where the amplitude is always zero, and antinodes, where the amplitude varies from zero to the maximum value. 15-9 Standing Waves; Resonance

5 The frequencies of the standing waves on a particular string are called resonant or natural frequencies. They are also referred to as the fundamental and harmonics.

6 15-9 Standing Waves on a string For a given string, the wave speed is a constant, v= √ F/µ Boundary Condition: Each end of the string must be a node Therefore, only certain wavelengths will fit on the string Fundamental frequency

7 Second harmonic Third Harmonic Fundamental or first harmonic

8 The wavelengths and frequencies of standing waves are: 15-9 Standing Waves; Resonance and

9 15-9 Standing Waves; Resonance Example 15-8: Piano string. A piano string is 1.10 m long and has a mass of 9.00 g. (a) How much tension must the string be under if it is to vibrate at a fundamental frequency of 131 Hz? (b) What are the frequencies of the first four harmonics?

10 If the wave enters a medium where the wave speed is different, it will be refracted—its wave fronts and rays will change direction. We can calculate the angle of refraction, which depends on both wave speeds: Law of Refraction 15-10 Refraction

11 The law of refraction works both ways—a wave going from a slower medium to a faster one would follow the red line in the other direction. 15-10 Refraction

12 Example 15-10: Refraction of an earthquake wave. An earthquake P wave passes across a boundary in rock where its velocity increases from 6.5 km/s to 8.0 km/s. If it strikes this boundary at 30°, what is the angle of refraction?

13 When waves encounter an obstacle, they bend around it, leaving a “shadow region.” This is called diffraction. 15-11 Diffraction

14 The amount of diffraction depends on the size of the obstacle compared to the wavelength. If the obstacle is much smaller than the wavelength, the wave is barely affected (a). If the object is comparable to, or larger than, the wavelength, diffraction is much more significant (b, c, d). 15-11 Diffraction

16 Sound can travel through any kind of matter, but not through a vacuum. Sounds cannot travel in absence of matter. The speed of sound is different in different materials; in general, it is slowest in gases, faster in liquids, and fastest in solids. The speed depends somewhat on temperature, especially for gases. 16-1 Characteristics of Sound
