Where do we encounter waves? Write down all the examples of waves that you can think of. Chapter 14 A periodic motion repeats in a regular cycle. Examples include: ◦ Pendulums (such as on a grandfather clock) ◦ A mass at the end of a spring ◦ Vibrating guitar string The period is the amount of time for one complete cycle. The amplitude is the maximum amount that the object moves from its equilibrium position x When you stretch or compress a spring, the spring exerts a force to return it to its equilibrium position. The amount of force is given by Hooke’s Law Fsp kx where 𝑘 is the spring constant (a property of the individual spring) and 𝑥 is the distance the spring is displaced from its equilibrium position How much force is needed to compress a spring 12 cm if the spring constant is 84 N/m? Stretching or compressing a spring also generates elastic potential energy 1 2 U s kx 2 How far must a spring with a spring constant of 444 N/m be compressed to produce an elastic potential energy of 8.25 J?

The marble is released, and the spring shoots it straight up into the air. How high above the spring’s equilibrium position does the marble reach? Small-diameter mass, called the pendulum bob String has negligible mass, but strong enough to not stretch appreciably Undergoes simple harmonic motion if 𝜃 < 15° Period is the amount of time for one cycle. Represented by a capital 𝑇. Measured in seconds, s. L T 2 g Frequency is the reciprocal of period. Represented by lower case 𝑓. Measured in Hertz, Hz ◦ 1 Hz = 1/s 1 𝑓= 𝑇 Does not depend on mass. Does not depend on amplitude (for 𝜃 < 15°) Can be finely adjusted, and can make excellent clocks. Can also be used to solve for 𝑔. What is the acceleration due to gravity in a region where a simple pendulum having a length of 75.000 cm has a period of 1.7357 s? What is the effect on the period of a simple pendulum if you double its length? What is the length of a pendulum that has a period of 0.500 s? Let g=9.80 m/s2. The pendulum on a cuckoo clock is 5.00 cm long. What is its frequency? Let g=9.80 m/s2. Resonance occurs when small forces are applied at regular intervals to an object in periodic motion causing the amplitude to increase. Write down as many examples of resonance that you can think of. Examples include: ◦ Pushing someone on a swing ◦ Jumping on a diving board ◦ Wind on the Tacoma Narrows Bridge Read Section 14.1 Page 379 #6-8 Page 380 #9-13 Read Section 14.2 A spring has a spring constant of 125 N/m. It is attached to the ceiling and a block is attached to the bottom. The spring is stretched 20.0 cm. 1) Draw a free body diagram of the block. 2) What is the magnitude of the force that the spring exerts on the block? 3) What is the weight of the block? 4) What is the elastic potential energy stored in the spring? A wave is a disturbance that carries energy through matter or space A wave usually does NOT transfer mass, only energy A wave pulse is a single bump or disturbance. Most waves are a series of wave pulses. Two main types of waves: ◦ Mechanical waves – travel through matter ◦ Electromagnetic waves – do not require matter, can travel through a vacuum Examples include: ◦ ◦ ◦ ◦ Water waves Sound waves Waves on a rope Waves on a spring Mechanical waves require a medium (matter) through which they propagate (travel). Three main categories: ◦ Transverse Waves ◦ Longitudinal Waves ◦ Surface Waves A transverse wave is one that vibrates perpendicular to the direction of the wave’s motion A wave on a rope is an example of a transverse wave Simulation Crest – The highest point Trough – The lowest point Amplitude – The maximum displacement of the wave ◦ The higher the amplitude, the greater the amount of energy transferred. Wavelength – The distance between consecutive crests (or the distance between consecutive troughs) Identify which point(s) correspond with each of the following: crest, trough, amplitude, wavelength A longitudinal wave is one whose disturbances are in the same direction as (parallel to) the direction of the wave’s motion Sound waves are longitudinal Waves from a compressed spring are longitudinal Compression – A dense part of a longitudinal wave Rarefaction – A low density part of a longitudinal wave Wavelength – The distance between consecutive compressions (or the distance between consecutive rarefactions) Surface waves are waves with characteristics of both transverse and longitudinal waves. Ocean waves are a prime example of surface waves. The paths of individual particles are circular. The following are all used to measure and/or describe waves: Wave Speed Amplitude Period Frequency Wavelength Wave Speed – The distance a wave travels per unit time Represented by a lower case 𝑣 Measured in meters per second, m/s Depends on the medium through which the wave is travelling x v t T Amplitude – The maximum displacement of a wave from its at-rest position Represented by a capital 𝐴 Measured in meters, m Depends on how the wave was generated Does not depend on the wave speed or the medium More work must be done to generate larger amplitude waves. Waves with larger amplitudes transfer more energy Period - the amount of time for one complete cycle/oscillation Represented by a capital 𝑇 Measured in seconds Depends only on the wave source Does not depend on the wave speed Does not depend on the medium Frequency – The amount of cycles/oscillations per second Represented by a lower case f Measured in Hertz, Hz Depends only on the wave source Does not depend on the wave speed Does not depend on the medium 1 f T 1 units : Hz s Wavelength – Length of a cycle (distance between similar points) Distance between crests (or troughs) of a transverse wave Distance between compressions (or rarefactions) of a longitudinal wave Represented by Greek letter lambda, 𝜆 Measured in meters v vT f Sound waves travel approximately 340 m/s in air. What is the wavelength of a sound wave that has a frequency of 170 Hz? 2.0 m Sound has a speed of 3100 m/s in copper. What is the wavelength of the wave from You-Try #6 after it crosses into a copper medium? 18 m Read Section 14.2 Page 386 #15-25 Read Section 14.3 Page 396 #31, 32, 33, 41, 42, 52, 56, 69, 71, 72, 76, 79, 81 A sound wave produced by a clock chime is heard 515 m away 1.50 s later. 1) What is the speed of the clock’s chime in air? 2) If the sound wave has a frequency of 436 Hz, what is the period of the wave? 3) What is the wave’s wavelength? What happens when a wave reaches the end of its medium? When the incident wave reaches the end of its medium, some or all of the energy is reflected back as a reflected wave. Some reflected waves are inverted, such as waves on a rope with a fixed end (as in the simulation) The principle of superposition states that the amplitude of passing wave pulses is additive. If pulses are on opposite sides, one amplitude is negative (adding a negative subtracting) The result of superposition is called interference. Interference can cause standing waves, which appear to not propagate. Example: Rope moves up and down, but no wave pulses move to either side. The nodes are points that do not move. The antinodes are the points that move the most. Simulation: Amplitude=20, Frequency=30, Damping=0, Tension=high-1 Stringed instruments depend on standing waves to make music. These standing waves are called harmonics. Often represented by a wave front, a line that represents a wave crest. Waves move perpendicular to the wave front, often represented by a ray. The law of reflection states that the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection Read Section 14.2 Page 386 #15-25 Read Section 14.3 Page 396 #31, 32, 33, 41, 42, 52, 56, 69, 71, 72, 76, 79, 81
