HOMEWORK: Complete lab

55. Wave interference
Wave interference is the phenomenon which occurs when two waves meet while traveling along in the same medium.
The addition or combination of waves is called the principle of superposition

56. Principle of Superposition
These figures below show the sum of two waves. In (a) they add up constructively; in (b) they add up destructively; and in (c) they add partially destructively.

57. Interference of Waves

58. The first addition of waves that will be described involves two waves that are in phase.
This is referred to as constructive interference.
A crest of one wave is positioned with the crest of the other wave. The same can be said for the troughs.

59. This represents the displacement
by the white wave alone.
by the green wave alone.
Since they are both displacements
on the same side of the baseline,
What do you think will happen?
THEY ADD UP
Just repeat this step for several
points along the waves.

60. The next addition of waves that will be described involves two waves that are out of phase.
This is referred to as destructive interference.

61. This represents the displacement by the white wave alone.
This represents the displacement by the green wave alone.
Since the two displacements are on opposite sides of the baseline,
the top one should be considered positive and the bottom one negative.
Since they are both displacements on the opposite sides of the baseline, what do you think will happen?
THEY CANCEL EACH OTHER.

62. Finally we observe two waves that are partially in phase
Finally we observe two waves that are partially in phase. This is called partial destructive interference.
A different method of adding the waves will be demonstrated.

63. From the baseline measure to the “white” wave
From the baseline measure to the “white” wave. Then add this to the “green” wave. See animation.
Continuing on with this process gives
Note the white arrow would be zero in length here.
Zero white arrows added to “green” wave occur at these other locations.
So zero added to the
“green” wave would give
By overlaying the constructive interference curve from a previous slide you can tell that the curve of this slide is not fully constructive interference.

64. For your experiment today you will be given two waves that are interfering with each other.
You will construct the resultant waveform by techniques similar to what you have just seen in this presentation.
There are also some calculations that you must complete.

DO NOW: What do you observe when a pencil or spoon is placed in a clear glass of water?
HOME WORK – Worksheets 23.1: The Law of Reflection & 23.2: Refraction
BALDWIN 66

67. Reflection
Reflection: the return or change in direction of a wave (light or sound) at the same angle is called reflection
Echo is sound reflected
Check!…What is the proposed path of the incident light?

68. Reflection: Law of Reflection
Law of reflection: the angle of reflection (that the ray makes with the normal to a surface) equals the angle of incidence.

69. Refraction
Refraction: the change in direction and speed of a wave as it passes from one medium to another
Bending of light as it passes through a prism
Check!…What is the proposed path of the incident light?

70. Refraction
Light changes direction (bends) when crossing a boundary from one medium to another. The angle the refracted ray makes with the normal is called the angle of refraction.

71. Index of Refraction
Light slows when traveling through a medium. The index of refraction n of the medium is the ratio of the speed of light in vacuum to the speed of light in the medium:

BALDWIN 72

73. Snell’s Law
A relationship relating the index of refraction in a given a medium and incident light angle to the index of refraction in the new medium and the refracted light angle. θ1 n1
n1: index of refraction of medium 1
n2: index of refraction of medium 2
θ1: the angle of light in medium 1
θ2: the angle of light in medium 2 n2 θ2

74. Snell’s Law
What do you observe as light enters a medium of higher or lower refractive index?
Light bends towards the normal when going from a medium with a smaller index of refraction to a larger index of refraction.
Light will have the smaller angle in the medium with the greater index of refraction.

76. Lenses
A lens is a piece of transparent material shaped so that it can produce an image by refracting light that comes from an object
Lenses are use in many optical devices such as eyeglasses, cameras, telescopes, etc.

77. Converging Lens
Converging lens is a lens that brings parallel beams of light to a single point called the focus.

78. Diverging Lens
Diverging lens is a lens that spreads out parallel beams of light. The focus is on the same side as the incoming light.
