5. Section 1 Simple Harmonic Motion
Chapter 11
Hooke’s Law
One type of periodic motion is the motion of a mass attached to a spring.
The direction of the force acting on the mass (Felastic) is always opposite the direction of the mass’s displacement from equilibrium (x = 0).

6. Chapter 11 Hooke’s Law, continued At equilibrium:
Section 1 Simple Harmonic Motion
Chapter 11
Hooke’s Law, continued
At equilibrium:
The spring force and the mass’s acceleration become zero.
The speed reaches a maximum.
At maximum displacement:
The spring force and the mass’s acceleration reach a maximum.
The speed becomes zero.

7. spring force = –(spring constant  displacement)
Section 1 Simple Harmonic Motion
Chapter 11
Hooke’s Law, continued
Measurements show that the spring force, or restoring force, is directly proportional to the displacement of the mass.
This relationship is known as Hooke’s Law:
Felastic = –kx
spring force = –(spring constant  displacement)
The quantity k is a positive constant called the spring constant.

2. Plan
Choose an equation or situation: When the mass is attached to the spring,the equilibrium position changes. At the new equilibrium position, the net force acting on the mass is zero. So the spring force (given by Hooke’s law) must be equal and opposite to the weight of the mass.
Fnet = 0 = Felastic + Fg
Felastic = –kx
Fg = –mg
–kx – mg = 0

Section 1 Simple Harmonic Motion
Chapter 11
Simple Harmonic Motion
The motion of a vibrating mass-spring system is an example of simple harmonic motion.
Simple harmonic motion describes any periodic motion that is the result of a restoring force that is proportional to displacement.
Because simple harmonic motion involves a restoring force, every simple harmonic motion is a back-and-forth motion over the same path.

17. Chapter 11 The Simple Pendulum
Section 1 Simple Harmonic Motion
Chapter 11
The Simple Pendulum
A simple pendulum consists of a mass called a bob, which is attached to a fixed string.
At any displacement from equilibrium, the weight of the bob (Fg) can be resolved into two components.
The x component (Fg,x = Fg sin q) is the only force acting on the bob in the direction of its motion and thus is the restoring force.
The forces acting on the bob at any point are the force exerted by the
string and the
gravitational force.

18. The Simple Pendulum, continued
Section 1 Simple Harmonic Motion
Chapter 11
The Simple Pendulum, continued
The magnitude of the restoring force (Fg,x = Fg sin q) is proportional to sin q.
When the maximum angle of displacement q is relatively small (<15°), sin q is approximately equal to q in radians.
As a result, the restoring force is very nearly proportional to the displacement.
Thus, the pendulum’s motion is an excellent approximation of simple harmonic motion.

Calculate the period and frequency of an object vibrating with simple harmonic motion.

22. Amplitude, Period, and Frequency in SHM
Section 2 Measuring Simple Harmonic Motion
Chapter 11
Amplitude, Period, and Frequency in SHM
In SHM, the maximum displacement from equilibrium is defined as the amplitude of the vibration.
A pendulum’s amplitude can be measured by the angle between the pendulum’s equilibrium position and its maximum displacement.
For a mass-spring system, the amplitude is the maximum amount the spring is stretched or compressed from its equilibrium position.
The SI units of amplitude are the radian (rad) and the meter (m).

23. Amplitude, Period, and Frequency in SHM
Section 2 Measuring Simple Harmonic Motion
Chapter 11
Amplitude, Period, and Frequency in SHM
The period (T) is the time that it takes a complete cycle to occur.
The SI unit of period is seconds (s).
The frequency (f) is the number of cycles or vibrations per unit of time.
The SI unit of frequency is hertz (Hz).
Hz = s–1

24. Amplitude, Period, and Frequency in SHM, continued
Section 2 Measuring Simple Harmonic Motion
Chapter 11
Amplitude, Period, and Frequency in SHM, continued
Period and frequency are inversely related:
Thus, any time you have a value for period or frequency, you can calculate the other value.

27. Period of a Simple Pendulum in SHM
Section 2 Measuring Simple Harmonic Motion
Chapter 11
Period of a Simple Pendulum in SHM
The period of a simple pendulum depends on the length and on the free-fall acceleration.
The period does not depend on the mass of the bob or on the amplitude (for small angles).

28. Period of a Mass-Spring System in SHM
Section 2 Measuring Simple Harmonic Motion
Chapter 11
Period of a Mass-Spring System in SHM
The period of an ideal mass-spring system depends on the mass and on the spring constant.
The period does not depend on the amplitude.
This equation applies only for systems in which the spring obeys Hooke’s law.

Objectives
Distinguish local particle vibrations from overall wave motion.
Differentiate between pulse waves and periodic waves.
Interpret waveforms of transverse and longitudinal waves.

Relate energy and amplitude.

30. Chapter 11 Wave Motion A wave is the motion of a disturbance.
Section 3 Properties of Waves
Chapter 11
Wave Motion
A wave is the motion of a disturbance.
A medium is a physical environment through which a disturbance can travel. For example, water is the medium for ripple waves in a pond.
Waves that require a medium through which to travel are called mechanical waves. Water waves and sound waves are mechanical waves.
Electromagnetic waves such as visible light do not require a medium.

31. Section 3 Properties of Waves
Chapter 11
Wave Types
A wave that consists of a single traveling pulse is called a pulse wave.
Whenever the source of a wave’s motion is a periodic motion, such as the motion of your hand moving up and down repeatedly, a periodic wave is produced.
A wave whose source vibrates with simple harmonic motion is called a sine wave. Thus, a sine wave is a special case of a periodic wave in which the periodic motion is simple harmonic.

32. Relationship Between SHM and Wave Motion
Section 3 Properties of Waves
Chapter 11
Relationship Between SHM and Wave Motion
As the sine wave created by this vibrating blade travels to the right, a single point on the string vibrates up and down with simple harmonic motion.

33. Chapter 11 Wave Types, continued Section 3 Properties of Waves
A transverse wave is a wave whose particles vibrate perpendicularly to the direction of the wave motion.
The crest is the highest point above the equilibrium position, and the trough is the lowest point below the equilibrium position.
The wavelength (l) is the distance between two adjacent similar points of a wave.

34. Section 3 Properties of Waves
Chapter 11
Transverse Waves

35. Chapter 11 Wave Types, continued Section 3 Properties of Waves
A longitudinal wave is a wave whose particles vibrate parallel to the direction the wave is traveling.
A longitudinal wave on a spring at some instant t can be represented by a graph. The crests correspond to compressed regions, and the troughs correspond to stretched regions.
The crests are regions of high density and pressure (relative to the equilibrium density or pressure of the medium), and the troughs are regions of low density and pressure.

36. Section 3 Properties of Waves
Chapter 11
Longitudinal Waves

37. Period, Frequency, and Wave Speed
Section 3 Properties of Waves
Chapter 11
Period, Frequency, and Wave Speed
The frequency of a wave describes the number of waves that pass a given point in a unit of time.
The period of a wave describes the time it takes for a complete wavelength to pass a given point.
The relationship between period and frequency in SHM holds true for waves as well; the period of a wave is inversely related to its frequency.

39. Period, Frequency, and Wave Speed, continued
Section 3 Properties of Waves
Chapter 11
Period, Frequency, and Wave Speed, continued
The speed of a mechanical wave is constant for any given medium.
The speed of a wave is given by the following equation:
v = fl
wave speed = frequency  wavelength
This equation applies to both mechanical and electromagnetic waves.

40. Waves and Energy Transfer
Section 3 Properties of Waves
Chapter 11
Waves and Energy Transfer
Waves transfer energy by the vibration of matter.
Waves are often able to transport energy efficiently.
The rate at which a wave transfers energy depends on the amplitude.
The greater the amplitude, the more energy a wave carries in a given time interval.
For a mechanical wave, the energy transferred is proportional to the square of the wave’s amplitude.
The amplitude of a wave gradually diminishes over time as its energy is dissipated.

42. Chapter 11 Wave Interference
Section 4 Wave Interactions
Chapter 11
Wave Interference
Two different material objects can never occupy the same space at the same time.
Because mechanical waves are not matter but rather are displacements of matter, two waves can occupy the same space at the same time.
The combination of two overlapping waves is called superposition.

43. Wave Interference, continued
Section 4 Wave Interactions
Chapter 11

Standing Waves

48. Chapter 11 Standing Waves
Section 4 Wave Interactions
Chapter 11
Standing Waves
A standing wave is a wave pattern that results when two waves of the same frequency, wavelength, and amplitude travel in opposite directions and interfere.
Standing waves have nodes and antinodes.
A node is a point in a standing wave that maintains zero displacement.
An antinode is a point in a standing wave, halfway between two nodes, at which the largest displacement occurs.

49. Standing Waves, continued
Section 4 Wave Interactions
Chapter 11
Standing Waves, continued
Only certain wavelengths produce standing wave patterns.
The ends of the string must be nodes because these points cannot vibrate.
A standing wave can be produced for any wavelength that allows both ends to be nodes.
In the diagram, possible wavelengths include 2L (b), L (c), and 2/3L (d).

50. Chapter 11 Standing Waves Section 4 Wave Interactions
