1 wiggle in time. http://www.acs.psu.edu/drussell/demos.html What is a Wave?What is a Wave? Wave Motion in Space and Time Longitudinal and Transverse WavesWave Motion in Space and TimeLongitudinal and Transverse Waves Phase changes upon reflection

2 What is a sonic boom? How much power output is there in 10 million people talking loudly? What is the difference between a radio wave carrying a song to a radio and the wave carrying the sound from the radio’s speakers to your ears? Is it really possible for an opera singer to shatter glass? How do we sense sound?

3 The text shows a picture of period and calls it wavelength. Notice what is different about period and wavelength – on these plots, it is the horizontal axis variable. Amplitude = A The y-axis label is often not well defined, since it can be many different things in different sorts of waves

9 Elastic Force k is spring constant, a measure of the “stiffness” of the spring Negative sign indicates a “restoring” force Do “spring class lab” and “Oscillation Discovery lab” The test of all knowledge is experiment. Experiment is the sole judge of scientific “truth”. – Richard Feynman Mass on a spring simulation – http://phet.colorado.edu/sims/mass-spring-lab/mass-spring-lab_en.html

13 Doppler effect Fire engine: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=imoxDcn2Sgo Rainier beer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-qXa9oqKL6E Animation – includes shock waves http://galileoandeinstein.physics.virginia.edu/more_stuff/flashle ts/doppler.htm http://www.acs.psu.edu/drussell/Demos/doppler/doppler.html http://faraday.physics.utoronto.ca/PVB/Harrison/Flash/ClassM echanics/Doppler/DopplerEffect.html

14 Shock wave http://www.maniacworld.com/jet-breaks-the-speed-of-sound.html A shock wave results for the same reason as the Doppler shift, but occurs when the source travels faster than the wave. This is called a bow wave if it is for surface waves on water.
