Example
Which type of wave requires a material medium to travel
through?
a) Television
b) Light
c) Sound
d) Radio
e) X-ray
Sound is a mechanical wave,
and mechanical waves require a
medium to travel through.
Example
A periodic wave transfers?
a) Mass and Energy
b) Mass only
c) Energy only
d) Neither Mass and Energy
e) Sound
Light, does not have mass, or sound
effects, but any periodic wave does
transfer energy, since energy was given
to it to make it oscillate
Example
A periodic wave is produced when you hit one of the prongs
of a tuning fork. To increase the amplitude of the wave, you
would need to:
a) Hit the prong harder
b) Hit the prong faster
c) Hit the prong slower
d) Nothing, amplitude it fixed
e) Shorten the prong
When you hit the fork harder, you are
transferring more energy to the fork,
increasing the amplitude of the wave

Example
You have a pipe that is closed at one end and open at the other.
A tuning fork resonates when the pipe is 11 cm long. The same
tuning fork does not resonate at any pipe smaller than this. At
what other pipe length with the tuning fork resonate?
a) 22 cm
b) 33 cm
c) 44 cm
d) 55 cm
e) 66 cm
Solution
You have a pipe that is closed at one end and open at the other.
A tuning fork resonates when the pipe is 11 cm long. The same
tuning fork does not resonate at any pipe smaller than this. At
what other pipe length with the tuning fork resonate?
11 cm
The wavelength
of the wave then
must be 44 cm
Since the pipe is
open at one end and
closed at the other it
has a node at the
closed end and a antimode at the other
The next harmonic oscillation occurs when
there again is a anti-node at the open end,
or 3 x 11cm = 33cm
Example
An ambulance’s siren produces a sound wave of constant
frequency. As the ambulance accelerates away from you,
you notice that the sound wave:
a) Increases in amplitude and decreases in frequency
b) Increases in amplitude and increases in frequency
c) decreases in amplitude and decreases in frequency
d) decreases in amplitude and increases in frequency
e) Remains fixed in amplitude and decreases in frequency
Because the ambulance is moving away, the
frequency of the wave is decreasing, plus the
sound gets lower in volume, so the amplitude
also decreases.
Example
You inhale some helium, as a result, the pitch of your
voice rises. What happens to the standing waves of your
vocal cords to cause this effect
a) The frequency of the waves decrease
b) The speed of the waves decrease
c) The speed of the waves increase
d) The wavelength of the waves decrease
e) The wavelength of the waves increase
Since the pitch of your voice increases, the frequency
must increase. The wavelength does not change
(wavelength depends upon physicsal structure of your
voice box). Therefore by v=λf, the speed of the waves
must increase. (the speed of sound in helium is faster
than in air)
Example
A siren is emitting sound at a frequency of 1500Hz and an
observer is moving away from the siren at 100 m/s. Given
that the speed of sound in the air is 340 m/s, determine
the observed frequency of the siren.
