2/5 Erwin Sitompul University Physics: Waves and Electricity Object on a Vertical Spring When an object hangs from a vertical spring, there is a force mg downward in addition to the force of the spring. If we choose the upward direction to be positive, the spring’s force on the object is F s = ky, with y as the difference in the stretched and unstretched position of the spring. The Newton’s 2 nd Law gives:

2/7 Erwin Sitompul University Physics: Waves and Electricity Energy in Simple Harmonic Motion The energy of a linear oscillator transfers back and forth between kinetic energy and potential energy, while the sum of the two –the mechanical energy E of the oscillator– remains constant. The potential energy is associated entirely with the spring. Its value depends on how much the spring is stretched or compressed. The kinetic energy of the system is associated entirely with the block. Its value depends on how fast the block is moving.

2/8 Erwin Sitompul University Physics: Waves and Electricity Energy in Simple Harmonic Motion The mechanical energy is then given by The mechanical energy of a linear oscillator is indeed constant and independent of time. The potential energy and kinetic energy of a linear oscillator are shown next as the function of time and as the function of displacement.

2/11 Erwin Sitompul University Physics: Waves and Electricity x(t ) v(t ) Simple Harmonic Motion and Uniform Circular Motion Next we can see, whether we look at the displacement, the velocity, or the acceleration, the projection of uniform circular motion is indeed simple harmonic motion.
12
2/12 Erwin Sitompul University Physics: Waves and Electricity Damped Simple Harmonic Motion When the motion of an oscillator is reduced by an external force, the oscillator and its motion are said to be damped. An idealized example of a damped oscillator is shown on the next figure. As the vane moves up and down, the liquid exerts an inhibiting drag force on it and thus on the entire oscillating system. With time, the mechanical energy of the block-spring system decreases, as energy is transferred to thermal energy of the liquid and vane.
13
2/13 Erwin Sitompul University Physics: Waves and Electricity Damped Simple Harmonic Motion Let us assume the liquid exerts a damping force F d that is proportional to the velocity v of the vane and block. Then, for the components along the x axis → → where b is a damping constant, that depends on both the vane and the liquid, with the SI unit of kilogram/s. The force on the block from the spring is F s = –kx. Let us assume that the gravitational force on the block is taken out of calculation by setting the position where the mass rests as the equilibrium position of the system.
14
2/14 Erwin Sitompul University Physics: Waves and Electricity Damped Simple Harmonic Motion Then we can write Newton’s 2 nd Law for the components along the x axis as The solution of this equation is where x m is the amplitude and ω’ is the angular frequency of the damped oscillation. This angular frequency is given by
15
2/15 Erwin Sitompul University Physics: Waves and Electricity Damped Simple Harmonic Motion The solution can be seen as a cosine function whose amplitude, which is x m e –bt/2m, gradually decreases with time, as the next figure suggests. If the damping is small, we can find the mechanical energy by replacing x m as found in the formula previously with x m e –bt/2m, so that
16
2/16 Erwin Sitompul University Physics: Waves and Electricity Here are three sets of values for the spring constant, damping constant, and mass for the damped oscillator. Rank the sets according to the time required for the mechanical energy to decrease to one-fourth of its initial value, greatest first. Set 1, Set 2, then Set 3 Checkpoint The greater the magnitude of the exponential, the faster the decrease.

2/20 Erwin Sitompul University Physics: Waves and Electricity Waves are of three main types: 1.Mechanical waves. Common examples include water waves, sound waves, and seismic waves. These waves are governed by Newton's laws and they can exist only within a material medium such as water, air, and rock. 2.Electromagnetic waves. Common examples include visible and ultraviolet light, radio and television waves, microwaves, x rays, and radar waves. These waves require no material medium to exist; for example light waves. 3.Matter waves. These waves are associated with electrons, protons, and other fundamental particles, and even atoms and molecules. Much of what we discuss here applies to all kinds of waves. But for specific examples we shall refer to mechanical waves. Types of Waves
21
2/21 Erwin Sitompul University Physics: Waves and Electricity A wave sent along a stretched, taut string is the simplest mechanical wave. A single up-and-down motion generates a single pulse. The pulse moves along the string at some velocity v. Assumptions: No friction-like forces within the string, where the energy of the wave may dissipate → No energy loss Strings are very long → No need to consider reflected waves from the far end A typical string element (marked with a dot) moves up once and then down as the pulse passes. The element’s motion is perpendicular to the wave’s direction of travel → the pulse is a transverse wave → A Simple Mechanical Wave
22
2/22 Erwin Sitompul University Physics: Waves and Electricity If a sinusoidal wave is sent along the string, we would find that the displacement of every string element is perpendicular to the direction of travel of the wave. (Figure on the left) This motion is said to be transverse, and the wave is said to be a transverse wave. If you push and pull on a piston in simple harmonic motion, a sinusoidal sound wave travels along the pipe. (Figure on the right) Because the motion of the elements of air is parallel to the direction of the wave’s travel, the motion is said to be longitudinal, and the wave is said to be a longitudinal wave. Transverse and Longitudinal Waves
23
2/23 Erwin Sitompul University Physics: Waves and Electricity Both a transverse wave and a longitudinal wave are said to be traveling wave because they both travel from one point to another. Note that it is the wave that moves from one end to another end, not the material (string or air) through which the wave moves. Transverse and Longitudinal Waves Longitudinal wave Transverse wave
24
2/24 Erwin Sitompul University Physics: Waves and Electricity To completely describe a wave on a string (and the motion of any element along its length), we need a function that gives the shape of the wave. This means, we need a relation in the form y = f(x,t), in which y is the transverse displacement of any string element as a function f of the time t and the position x of the element along the string. If the wave is sinusoidal, then at time t, the displacement y of the element located at position x is given by: Wavelength and Frequency
25
2/25 Erwin Sitompul University Physics: Waves and Electricity Traveling wave: Five snapshots of a sinusoidal wave traveling in the positive right direction of an x axis is shown in the figure. The movement of the wave is indicated by the short arrow pointing to a peak of the wave. But, at the meantime, the string moves only parallel to the x axis. Examine the motion of the red- colored string element at x = 0. Wavelength and Frequency
26
2/26 Erwin Sitompul University Physics: Waves and Electricity The wavelength λ of a wave is the distance (parallel to the direction of the wave’s travel) between repetitions of the wave shape. The angular wave number k is related to the wavelength by: The SI unit of k is radian per meter or m –1. Differentiate this k with the one that represents a spring constant as previously, where the unit is N/m. Wavelength and Angular Wave Number
27
2/27 Erwin Sitompul University Physics: Waves and Electricity The period of oscillation T of a wave is the time any string element takes to move through one full oscillation. The angular frequency ω is related to the period by: The SI unit of ω is radian per second or s –1. The frequency f of a wave is defined as 1/T and is related to the angular frequency ω by: Period, Angular Frequency, and Frequency
28
2/28 Erwin Sitompul University Physics: Waves and Electricity The figure is a composite of three snapshots, each of a wave traveling along a particular string. The phases for the waves are given by: (a) 2x–4t (b) 4x–8t (c) 8x–16t Which phase corresponds to which wave in the figure? (a) ↔ 2 (b) ↔ 3 (c) ↔ 1 Checkpoint
29
2/29 Erwin Sitompul University Physics: Waves and Electricity Two sinusoidal traveling waves with identical amplitude, wavelength, and period, can also be shifted one from another. To accommodate this, the wave function can be generalized by inserting a phase constant Φ: Now, estimate the phase constant of this wave. Phase Constant
30
2/30 Erwin Sitompul University Physics: Waves and Electricity The figure shows two snapshots of the sinusoidal wave, taken a small time interval Δt apart. The wave is traveling in the positive direction of x (to the right), and the entire wave pattern moves a distance Δx during the time interval Δt. After some derivation, we can write the wave speed v as: The Speed of a Traveling Wave
31
2/31 Erwin Sitompul University Physics: Waves and Electricity The Speed of a Traveling Wave The equation that describes a wave moving in the positive direction is: The equation that describes a wave moving in the negative direction is:
32
2/32 Erwin Sitompul University Physics: Waves and Electricity Here are the equations of three waves: (1) y(x,t) = 2sin(4x–2t) (2) y(x,t) = sin(3x–4t) (3) y(x,t) = 2sin(3x–3t) Rank the waves according to their (a) wave speed and (b) maximum speed perpendicular to the wave’s direction of travel (the transverse speed), greatest first. (a) Wave speed: 2, 3, 1 Wave speed: (b) Transverse speed: 3, then 1 and 2 tie Transverse speed: The Speed of a Traveling Wave
33
2/33 Erwin Sitompul University Physics: Waves and Electricity A wave traveling along a string is described by y(x,t) = 0.00327sin(72.1x–2.72t), in which the numerical constants are in SI units. (a)What is the amplitude of this wave? (b)What are the wavelength, period, and frequency of this wave? Example 1

A wave traveling along a string is described by y(x,t) = 0.00327sin(72.1x–2.72t), in which the numerical constants are in SI units. How come? Example 1
35
2/35 Erwin Sitompul University Physics: Waves and Electricity Email Quiz A hungry scorpion can detect the presence of a nearby beetle by the waves the motion sends along the sand surface while the beetle moves. The waves are of two types: transverse wave with the speed of v t = 50 m/s and longitudinal waves traveling at v l = 140 m/s. If a careless motion of the beetle sends out such waves, the scorpion can determine the distance of the beetle from the difference Δt in the arrival times of the waves at its leg nearest to the beetle. If Δt is given as 4.0 ms, determine the beetle’s distance d (in cm).
