1. Waves Review Ch13 (p408-433) Ch14(all)

2. Overview Waves are created when a periodic disturbance propagates outwards, transmitting energy (but not matter). Five wave properties: 1.Speed (v, m/s): Determined by the elastic and inertial properties of the medium. v=d/t v= f= /T 2.Frequency (f, Hz): Cycles per second. Determined by the oscillating source of the wave. 3.Period (T, s): Seconds per cycle. How much time ti takes for wave motion to repeat. The reciprocal of frequency. 4.Wavelength (, m): Distance between two identical points on a wave. (eg. From crest to crest). 5.Amplitude: Size of wave disturbance. Half the distance from peak to crest. Classifications (recognize and give examples of each) Mechanical vs. Electromagnetic Pulsed vs. Continuous Transverse vs. Longitudinal Traveling vs. Standing

3. Oscillators Springs: |F sp |=|kx| U sp = ½ kx 2 T=2  (m/k) ½ Energy is conserved so: ½ kx 2 + ½ mv 2 = constant = ½ kA 2 Pendulums: T=2  (L/g) ½

4. Change of direction Reflection: Incident wave bounces back from interface (  incident =  reflection ) Diffraction: Wave curves around a barrier or spreads out when passing through an opening (no change of medium) Refraction: Incident wave is bent as it is transmitted across an interface (Snell’s Law)

5. Wave interference Law of superposition: when two waves coincide their amplitudes are added Constructive interference: when two waves are “in sync” their amplitudes combine Destructive interference: when crests of one wave coincide with troughs of other they cancel out Examples: Standing waves and resonance Beats Double slit interference Single slit diffraction Thin film interference

6. Standing waves String fixed on each end, or tube open on each end: 1 = 2L, n = 1 /nn=1,2,3,4,…. f 1 = v/2Lf n =nf 1 Tube closed on one end 1 = 4L n = 1 /n n=1,3,5,7…. f 1 =v/4Lf n =nf 1

7. Beats When waves of slightly different frequency go in and out of sync they cycle between constructive and destructive interference which results in a periodic variation in their amplitude F beat =|f 1 -f 2 |

8. Double slit interference Requirements: Incident waves should be monochromatic (single wavelength) & coherent (arrive at each slit “in sync”) Slits should be small enough to cause waves to diffract (and spread out) Different path lengths mean that waves arriving from each slit may or may not be in sync. Condition for constructive interference:  x=n  n=1,2,3…) Double slit interference results in constructive interference when: dsin  =n  or y n =n L/d Single slit diffraction results in destructive interference when: asin  =n or y n =n L/a Bragg scattering (x-rays!) results in constructive interference when: 2dsin  =n

9. Doppler effect When source and observer are in relative motion toward one another the wavelength is decreased, and the frequency is increased (ambulance approaching) When source and observer are in relative motion away from one another the wavelength is increased, and the frequency in decreased (ambulance receding) For sound waves this caused the PITCH to shift up (toward) or down (away). For light (EM) waves this causes the COLOR to shift blue (toward) or red (away) Doppler has nothing to do with amplitude and what matters is relative motion NOT proximity f’ = f (v+v o )/(v-v s ) for motion toward (reverse signs for motion apart

10. A wave that requires a physical medium to travel through Mechanical wave

Explain what each symbol in the formula y n =n L/d stands for and when this formula might be used Formula used for double slit interference when the screen is far (L>>d from the slits) =wavelength d=distance between the openings L=distance from the slits to the screen Yn=distance on screen to interference peek n=an integer

20. A sound wave traveling at a speed of 340 m/s has a wavelength of 1.7 meters. What is its frequency? 200 Hz

21. A 42.5 cm long tube is open on both ends. What is the fundamental resonant frequency if the speed of sound is 340 m/s? What are the next two harmonics for this tube? f 1 =v/2L=340/0.85=400Hz f 2 =2f1=800 Hz, f 3 =1200 hz

22. An astrophysicist observes a distant galaxy moving away from us. Due to the galaxy’s motion its light would: a) Shift toward red end of spectrum b) Shift toward blue end of spectrum c) Take longer to reach us d) Have a longer wavelength and a smaller frequency. Both a and d are correct!!

23. A 1.2 meter long organ pipe is closed on one end. Its fundamental frequency is 72.9 Hz. Determine the next two harmonics, and the speed of sound. f 3 =3f 1 =219 Hz f 5 =365Hz 1 =4L=4.8m v= 1 f 1 =350 m/s 1 =4L=4.8m v= 1 f 1 =350 m/s

24. The period of spring oscillation is given by the formula: T=2  (m/k) ½

25. The period of oscillation for a simple pendulum is given by the formula: T=2  (L/g) ½

26. A 2.0 kg mass hanging from a spring is in static equilibrium when the spring stretches by 80 cm. What is the spring constant? Fsp – Fg = 0 kx = mg k = mg/x = 20/.8 = 25 N/m

28. What is the speed of a radio wave? 3x10 8 m/s (same for all EM waves in air or vacuum)

29. 400 nm light strikes two narrow slits that are separated by 0.40 mm. A screen is located 2.0 meters away. How far apart will the bright lines be located? How would their separation change if the slits were further apart? Y n =n L/d Y 1 =4x10 -7 x2/4x10 -4 =2mm (since this is the distance from central maximum we have answered the question) There is an inverse relation between yn and d, so moving the slits further would make the bright lines closer to one another)

34. Write the formula for the Doppler effect and explain what each term means. f’=f(v+v o )/(v-v s ) f=original frequency of the sound v=speed of the sound v o = speed of the observer (relative to the air) v s = speed of the source (relative to the air) f’ = the doppler shifted frequency heard by the observer Algebraic signs given are for relative motion toward one another

35. A stereo is blasting a 660 Hz pitch from a car that is traveling away from you at 20 m/s. (use v sound = 343 m/s) a)Is the pitch you hear higher or lower than that heard by the person in the car? b)What is the frequency of the sound that you detect? Pitch is LOWER. f’=f(v+vo)/(v-vs)=660(343)/(363)=624 Hz Note the change of sign…using the negative would have given us a HIGHER pitch which is WRONG!!
