Waves Mechanical Electromagnetic Medium Transfer of … Pulse Periodic Perpendicular Parallel
3
Mechanical waves / EM waves Need medium Do not need medium
4
Wave features Crests / troughs Wavelength Frequency Period Speed Amplitude - energy
5
Wave interactions - INTERFERENCE
7
The pulses continue on
9
Destructive Interference
10
Pulses continue on
11
Reflection of a pulse: free boundary
12
Reflection of a pulse: fixed boundary
13
Standing Wave node antinode
14
Standing wave
16
General formula for the SW
17
If F=ma Then the motion of the particles in a string will depend on:
18
The speed of wave in a string Things to consider: a)How is the wave transferred? b)Does the velocity of particles change? c)What does that change depend on?
19
Sound intensity
20
Standing waves
21
Reflection
22
Sound - wave Mechanical Longitudinal Spherical
23
Human Hearing Range
24
Pitch Relates to frequency Is subjective
26
Doppler Effect
27
Sound intensity / Decibel level What is the intensity of a sound 60 dB?
28
Resonance If an external vibration matches the natural frequency of an object, the vibration will resonate and the object will start vibrating along.
29
Resonance If a force is applied in synch (in phase) with the existing vibration, the amplitude of the vibration will increase.
31
Acoustic body
32
Electric guitar
33
Decibels Each 10 fold in intensity = 10 dB What’s 1.0x10 -4 W/m 2 in dB? What’s I of 120 dB?
34
Doppler’s effect The switch of the pitch If the object is approaching, its sound appears___________________ If the object is moving away, the pitch is ____________________
