Waves
2
Simple Harmonic Motion periodic motion - a motion that ________itself again and again along the same path simple harmonic motion (SHM) - a motion that is periodic, but also can be described by _______________(sines, cosines) force is _______________
3
Example Pendulum displacement - directed distance of object from its _______________position amplitude (A) - ___________displacement from equilibrium period (T) - period of SHM in ___________ frequency ( f ) - number of ___________per second
4
Equations of Motion in SHM Period of an object oscillating on a spring: Period of a simple pendulum:
5
Wave Motion Waves result from a disturbance, the source of the wave Mechanical waves propagate through a ______________(air, metal, Earth) __________________________waves do not require a medium When a medium is disturbed, ___________is imparted to it A regular, rhythmic _______________in both time and space is called a wave, and the transfer of energy is said to take place by means of ______________________. If the disturbance originates from a ___________________source, a periodic wave is generated.
6
Wave Motion Wave Characteristics _________________(A) – Magnitude of maximum displacement from the equilibrium position Wavelength (λ) – ____________________between two successive crests (or troughs) Wave speed: or
7
Types of Waves __________________Waves Motion of particles is __________________to the velocity Can only travel through ______________ Longitudinal Waves Motion of particles is _______________to the velocity Can travel through solids, liquids and gasses
8
Wave Properties When two or more waves encounter each other in the same medium they are said to _________________ Two types of interference: _____________Interference
9
Wave Properties Constructive Interference Destructive Interference Constructive Interference
