Beats  Different waves usually don’t have the same frequency. The frequencies may be much different or only slightly different.  If the frequencies are only slightly different, an interesting effect results  the beat frequency.  Useful for tuning musical instruments.  If a guitar and piano, both play the same note (same frequency, f 1 =f 2 )  constructive interference  If f 1 and f 2 are only slightly different, constructive and destructive interference occurs

 The beat frequency is In terms of periods  The frequencies become ``tuned’’ Example Problem When a guitar string is sounded along with a 440- Hz tuning fork, a beat frequency of 5 Hz is heard. When the same string is sounded along with a 436- Hz tuning fork, the beat frequency is 9 Hz. What is the frequency of the string?

Solution: Given: f T1 =440 Hz, f T2 =436 Hz, f b1 =5 Hz, f b2 =9 Hz But we don’t know if frequency of the string, f s, is greater than f T1 and/or f T2. Assume it is. If we chose f s smaller 

Standing Waves  A standing wave is an interference effect due to two overlapping waves - transverse – wave on guitar string, violin, … - longitudinal – sound wave in a flute, pipe organ, other wind instruments,…  The length (dictated by some physical constraint) of the wave is some multiple of the wavelength  You saw this in lab a few weeks ago  Consider a transverse wave (f 1, T 1 ) on a string of length L fixed at both ends.

 If the speed of the wave is v (not the speed of sound in air), the time for the wave to travel from one end to the other and back is  If this time is equal to the period of the wave, T 1, then the wave is a standing wave  Therefore the length of the wave is half of a wavelength or a half-cycle is contained between the end points  We can also have a full cycle contained between end points

 Or three half-cycles  Or n half-cycles  Some notation:  The zero amplitude points are called nodes; the maximum amplitude points are the antinodes For a string fixed at both ends

Longitudinal Standing Waves  Consider a tube with both ends opened  If we produce a sound of frequency f 1 at one end, the air molecules at that end are free to vibrate and they vibrate with f 1  The amplitude of the wave is the amplitude of the vibrational motion (SHM) of the air molecule – changes in air density  Similar to the transverse wave on a string, a standing wave occurs if the length of the tube is a ½- multiple of the wavelength of the wave

 For the first harmonic (fundamental), only half of a cycle is contained in the tube  Following the same reasoning as for the transverse standing wave, all of the harmonic frequencies are  Identical to transverse wave, except number of nodes is different Open-open tube string Open-open tube

 An example is a flute. It is a tube which is open at both ends. xx LaLa LbLb mouthpiece  We can also have a tube which is closed at one end and opened at the other (open-closed)  At the closed end, the air molecules can not vibrate – the closed end must be a ``node’’  The open end must be an anti-node

 The ``distance’’ between a node and the next adjacent anti-node is ¼ of a wavelength. Therefore the fundamental frequency of the open-closed tube is  The next harmonic does not occur for ½ of a wavelength, but ¾ of a wavelength. The next is at 5/4 of a wavelength – every odd ¼ wavelength  Note that the even harmonics are missing. Also, Open-closed

Complex (Real) Sound Waves  Most sounds that we hear are not pure tones (single frequency – like the fundamental f 1 of a standing wave)  But are superpositions of many frequencies with various amplitudes  For example, when a note (tone, frequency) is played on a musical instrument, we actually hear all of the harmonics (f 1, f 2, f 3, …), but usually the amplitudes are decreased for the higher harmonics  This is what gives each instrument it’s unique sound

 For example, the sound of a piano is dominated by the 1 st harmonic while for the violin, the amplitudes of the 1 st, 2 nd, and 5 th harmonic are nearly equal – gives it a rich sound String fixed at both ends and the open-open tube Open-closed tube Summary Violin wave form

Example Problem A tube with a cap on one end, but open at the other end, produces a standing wave whose fundamental frequency is Hz. The speed of sound is 343 m/s. (a) If the cap is removed, what is the new fundamental frequency? (b) How long is the tube? Solution: Given: f 1 oc =130.8 Hz, n=1, v=343 m/s

(a) We don’t need to know v or L, since they are the same in both cases. Solve each equation for v/L and set equal (b) Can solve for L from either open-open or open- closed tubes
