7. 3/7 Erwin SitompulUniversity Physics: Wave and Electricity The Principle of Superposition for Waves  It often happens that two or more waves pass simultaneously through the same region (sound waves in a concert, electromagnetic waves received by the antennas).  Suppose that two waves travel simultaneously along the same stretched string, the displacement of the string when the waves overlap is then the algebraic sum.

8. 3/8 Erwin SitompulUniversity Physics: Wave and Electricity The Principle of Superposition for Waves  Let y 1 (x,t) and y 2 (x,t) be two waves travel simultaneously along the same stretched string, then the displacement of the string is given by:  Overlapping waves algebraically add to produce a resultant wave (or net wave).  Overlapping waves do not in any way alter the travel of each other.

9. 3/9 Erwin SitompulUniversity Physics: Wave and Electricity Interference of Waves  Suppose there are two sinusoidal waves of the same wavelength and the same amplitude, and they are moving in the same direction, along a stretched string.  The resultant wave depends on the extent to which one wave is shifted from the other.  We call this phenomenon of combining waves as interference.

10. 3/10 Erwin SitompulUniversity Physics: Wave and Electricity Interference of Waves  The resultant wave as the superposition of y 1 (x,t) and y 2 (x,t) of the two interfering waves is:  The resultant sinusoidal wave – which is the result of an interference – travels in the same direction as the two original waves.

12. 3/12 Erwin SitompulUniversity Physics: Wave and Electricity Checkpoint Here are four possible phase differences between two identical waves, expressed in wavelengths: 0.2, 0.45, 0.6, and 0.8. Rank them according to the amplitude of the resultant wave, greatest first. Rank: 0.2 and 0.8 tie, 0.6, 0.45

13. 3/13 Erwin SitompulUniversity Physics: Wave and Electricity Example II Two identical sinusoidal waves, moving in the same direction along a stretched string, interfere with each other. The amplitude y m of each wave is 9.8 mm, and the phase difference Φ between them is 100°. (a)What is the amplitude y m ’ of the resultant wave due to the interference, and what is the type of this interference? The interference is intermediate, which can be deducted in two ways: 1. The phase difference is between 0 and π radians. 2. The amplitude y m ’ is between 0 and 2y m.

14. 3/14 Erwin SitompulUniversity Physics: Wave and Electricity Example II (b)What phase difference, in radians and wavelengths, will give the resultant wave an amplitude of 4.9 mm? Two identical sinusoidal waves, moving in the same direction along a stretched string, interfere with each other. The amplitude y m of each wave is 9.8 mm, and the phase difference Φ between them is 100°.

15. 3/15 Erwin SitompulUniversity Physics: Wave and Electricity Standing Waves  The following figures shows the superposition of two waves of the same wavelength and amplitude, traveling in opposite direction.  There are places along the string, called nodes, where the string never moves. Halfway between adjacent nodes, we can see the antinodes, where the amplitude of the resultant wave is a maximum.  The resultant wave is called standing waves because the wave pattern do not move left or right. Where? Where?

16. 3/16 Erwin SitompulUniversity Physics: Wave and Electricity Standing Waves

17. 3/17 Erwin SitompulUniversity Physics: Wave and Electricity Standing Waves  To analyse a standing wave, we represent the two combining waves with the equations:  The principle of superposition gives:

18. 3/18 Erwin SitompulUniversity Physics: Wave and Electricity Standing Waves  For a standing wave, the amplitude 2y m sinkx varies with position.  For a traveling wave, the amplitude y m is the same for all position. NNNN AN x0

19. 3/19 Erwin SitompulUniversity Physics: Wave and Electricity Standing Waves  In the standing wave, the amplitude is zero for values of kx that give sinkx = 0. Nodes  In the standing wave, the amplitude is zero for values of kx that give sinkx = ±1 Antinodes

20. 3/20 Erwin SitompulUniversity Physics: Wave and Electricity Standing Waves and Resonance  Consider a string, such as a guitar string, that is stretched between two clamps.  If we send a continuous sinusoidal wave of a certain frequency along the string, the reflection and interference will produce a standing wave pattern with nodes and antinodes like those in the figure.  Such a standing wave is said to be produced at resonance. The string is said to resonate at a certain resonant frequencies.

21. 3/21 Erwin SitompulUniversity Physics: Wave and Electricity Standing Waves and Resonance  For a string stretched between two clamps, we note that a node must exist at each of its end, because each end is fixed and cannot oscillate.  The simplest patterns that meets this requirement is a single-loop standing wave, with two nodes and one antinode.  A second simple pattern is the two loop pattern. This pattern has three nodes and two antinodes.  A third pattern has four nodes, three antinodes, and three loops

22. 3/22 Erwin SitompulUniversity Physics: Wave and Electricity Standing Waves and Resonance  Thus, a standing wave can be set up on a string of length L by a wave with a wavelength equal to one of the values:  The resonant frequencies that correspond to these wavelengths are:  The last equation tells us that the resonant frequencies are integer multiples of the lowest resonant frequency, f = v/2L, for n = 1.  The oscillation mode with the lowest frequency is called the fundamental mode or the first harmonic.

23. 3/23 Erwin SitompulUniversity Physics: Wave and Electricity Standing Waves and Resonance  The second harmonic is the oscillation mode with n = 2, the third harmonic is that with n = 3, and so on.  The collection of all possible oscillation modes is called the harmonic series.  n is called the harmonic number.
