15. 7.7 Driven Oscillations and Resonance Resonant Frequency – the natural vibrating frequency of a system Resonance – when the external frequency is near the natural frequency and damping is small Tacoma Narrow Bridge

16. 7.8 Types of Waves

17. Mechanical Waves – travels through a medium The wave travels through the medium, but the medium undergoes simple harmonic motion Wave motion Particle motion

18. 7.8 Types of Waves Waves transfer energy, not particles A single bump of a wave is called a pulse A wave is formed when a force is applied to one end Each successive particle is moved by the one next to it

19. 7.8 Types of Waves Parts of a wave Transverse wave – particle motion perpenduclar to wave motion Wavelength ( ) measured in meters Frequency ( f ) measured in Hertz (Hz) Wave Velocity ( v ) meters/second

20. 7.8 Types of Waves Longitudinal (Compressional) Wave Particles move parallel to the direction of wave motion Rarefaction – where particles are spread out Compression – particles are close

21. 7.8 Types of Waves Earthquakes S wave – Transverse P wave – Longitudinal Surface Waves – can travel along the boundary Notice the circular motion of the particles

22. 7.9 Reflection and Transmission of Waves

23. When a wave comes to a boundary (change in medium) at least some of the wave is reflected The type of reflection depends on if the boundary is fixed (hard) - inverted

24. 7.9 Reflection and Transmission of Waves When a wave comes to a boundary (change in medium) at least some of the wave is reflected Or movable (soft) – in phase

25. 7.9 Reflection and Transmission of Waves For two or three dimensional we think in terms of wave fronts A line drawn perpendicular to the wave front is called a ray When the waves get far from their source and are nearly straight, they are called plane waves

26. 7.9 Reflection and Transmission of Waves Law of Reflection – the angle of reflection equals the angle of incidence Angles are always measured from the normal

27. 7.10 Characteristics of Sound

28. Sound is a longitudinal wave Caused by the vibration of a medium The speed of sound depends on the medium it is in, and the temperature For air, it is calculated as

29. 7.10 Characteristics of Sound Loudness – sensation of intensity Pitch – sensation of frequency Range of human hearing – 20Hz to 20,000 Hz ultrasonic – higher than human hearing dogs hear to 50,000 Hz, bats to 100,000 Hz infrasonic – lower than human hearing

30. 7.10 Characteristics of Sound Often called pressure waves Vibration produces areas of higher pressure These changes in pressure are recorded by the ear drum

31. 7.11 Intensity of Sound

32. Loudness – sensation Relative to surrounding and intensity Intensity – power per unit area Humans can detect intensities as low as 10 -12 W/m 2 The threshold of pain is 1 W/m 2

33. 7.11 Intensity of Sound Sound intensity is usually measured in decibels (dB) Sound level is given as I – intensity of the sound I 0 – threshold of hearing (10 -12 W/m 2 )  – sound level in dB Some common relative intensities Source of SoundSound Level (dB) Jet Plane at 30 m140 Threshold of Pain120 Loud Rock Concert120 Siren at 30 m100 Auto Interior at 90 km/h75 Busy Street Traffic70 Conversation at 0.50 m65 Quiet Radio40 Whisper20 Rustle of Leaves10 Threshold of Hearing0

46. Doppler Effect – the change in pitch due to the relative motion between a source of sound and the receiver Applies to all wave phenomena Objects moving toward you have a higher apparent frequency Objects moving away have a lower apparent frequency Doppler Effect Light Doppler

47. 7.15 The Doppler Effect If an object is stationary the equation for the wave velocity is Sound waves travel outward evenly in all directions If the object moves toward the observed, the waves travel at the same velocity, but each new vibration is created closer to the observer Doppler Applet

49. 7.16 Interference

50. Interference – two waves pass through the same region of space at the same time The waves pass through each other Principle of Superposition – at the point where the waves meet the displacement of the medium is the algebraic sum of their separate displacements

51. 7.16 Interference Phase – relative position of the wave crests If the two waves are “in phase” Constructive interference If the two waves are “out of phase” Destructive Interference
