6.1 WAVES
What iswaves?
Process of transferring energy from one location to anotherwhich is produced by an oscillating or vibrating motion.
Examples ofwaves
Light waves are produced as a result of vibrations ofelectrons in an atomSound waves are produced by vibrating mechanical bodiessuch as a guitar strings or a tuning fork.Water waves are produced by a disturbance on a still watersurface.
How dowaves
transferenergy?
When energy is transferred by a wave from a vibratingsource to a distant receiver, there is no transfer of matter
between the two points.
When the string is shaken up and down, adisturbance moves along the length of thestring. It is the disturbance that moves alongthe length of the string, not parts of the stringitself.
The energytransferred from avibrating source toa receiver is carriedby a disturbance ina medium, not bymatter moving fromone place to
another within themedium
Drop a stone in a quite pond. It will produce awave that moves out from the center in expandingcircles. It is the disturbance that moves, not thewater. After the disturbance passes, the water iswhere it was before the wave was produced .
The string and water is the medium through whichwave energy travels.
What isTransverseWave?
A transverse wave is a wave in which the vibration ofparticles in the medium is at right angle to the direction ofpropagation of the wave.

The spring is moved sideways. The motion of the particlesmedium (spring) is at right angles to the direction in which thewave travels.Examples: water waves, light waves
What isLongitudin
al Waves?
A longitudinal wave is a wave which the vibration of particlesin the medium is along (parallel to) the direction of
propagation of the wave.
The slinky spring moves backwards and forwards to producea transverse wave. The particles of the medium (spring) movealong the direction of the wave. The wave that travels alongthe spring consists of a series of compression andrarefaction.
Examples: sounds waves.

What is a ripple tank?
The phenomenon of water waves can be
investigated using a ripple tank.The water waves are produced by avibrating bar on the water surface.
The tank is leveled so that the depth ofwater in the tank is uniform to ensurewater waves propagate with uniformspeed.
The water acts as a lens toproduce a pattern of bright
and dark regions on a piece ofwhite paper placed under thetank when light passesthrough it.Water waves have crests andtroughs.
A crest is the highest positionof the wave acts as a convex
lens, whereas a trough is thelowest position acts as aconcave lens.
Light rays from the lamp ontop will focus onto the whitescreen below. The brightlines correspond to thecrests, and the dark linescorrespond to the troughs.

What is meant by a wavefront?
Lines joining all the points ofthe same phase are calledwavefronts.
The wavefronts of a transversewave and longitudinal wave areperpendicular to the directionof propagation of the waves.
1. Plane wavefronts
2. Circular wavefronts

What isdamping?
Damping is the decrease in the amplitude of an oscillatingsystem when its energy is drained out as heat energy.The amplitude of an oscillating system will graduallydecrease and become zero when the oscillation stops.
Whatcausesdamping?
1. External damping of the system is the loss of energy toovercome frictional forces or air resistance.
2. Internal damping is the loss of energy due to theextension and compression of the molecules in the
system.A graph toshowdamping
ExternalForce
Forceoscillation
Naturalfrequency
To enable an oscillating system to go on continuously,an external force must be applied to the system.
The external force supplies energy to the system. Sucha motion is called a forced oscillation
The frequency of a system which oscillates freelywithout the action of an external force is called thenatural frequency.

Resonance Resonance occurs when a system is made to oscillateat a frequency equivalent to its natural frequency by anexternal force. The resonating system oscillates at itsmaximum amplitude.
The frequency of a simple pendulum depends on thelength of the pendulum.
In Barton’s pendulum experiment, there are manypendulums tied to the rope. Two of the pendulum are ofthe same length
When pendulum Boscillates, all the otherpendulums are forced tooscillate.
But pendulum Doscillates with the largestamplitude, ie, pendulumD resonates
Experimentin Barton’spendulum
How doesresonanceoccur inthe twopendulumof equallength?
Pendulum B and pendulum D are of the same length. Frequency B = Frequency D Therefore, pendulum B causes pendulum D to oscillate
at its natural frequency.
Goodeffects ofresonance
1. The tuner in a radio or television enables us to selectthe programmes we are interested. The circuit in thetuner is adjusted until resonance is achieved, at thefrequency transmitted by a particular station selected.Hence a strong electrical signal is produced.
2. The loudness of music produced by musicalinstruments such as the trumpet and flute is the resultof resonance in the air.
Bad effectsof
resonance
3. A bridge can collapse when the amplitude of itsvibration increases as a result of resonance.

6.2 REFLECTION OF WAVES

Reflection ofwave
Occurs when a wave strikes an obstacle. The wave undergoes a change in direction of
propagation when it is reflected. The value of frequency (f), wavelength (λ) and speed (v)
remain the same after reflection.
Incident wave : the wave before it strikes theobstacle
Reflected wave: the wave which has undergonea change in direction of propagation afterreflection.
i = angle of incident – the angle between thedirection of propagation of incident waveand the normal
r = angle of reflection – the angle between thedirection of propagation of reflected waveand the normal.
Law of Reflection:
The angle of incidence, iis equal to the angle ofreflection, r.
Reflection of plane water waves in a
ripple tank1. Set up a ripple tank.2. Switch on the motor to set the
vibrating. Increase the frequencyof the waves by increasing thevoltage power supply to the motor.
3. Observe the reflected wave byusing a stroboscope.

6.3 REFRACTION OF WAVES
What isRefractionof waves?
Refraction of waves is a change in its direction as the wavespass from one medium to another. It occurs when there is adifference in the speed of the wave at the boundary of twomediums.
After refraction, the wave has the same frequency, but adifferent speed, wavelength and direction of propagation.
Whathappens tofrequency,speed,wavelength& direction?

6.4 DIFFRACTION OF WAVES
What isdiffraction ofwaves?
Diffraction of waves is a phenomenon in which wavesspread out as they pass through a gap or round a smallobstacle.
What are
Characteristicsof diffractedwaves?
1. Frequency, wavelength and speed of waves do not
change.2. Changes in the direction of propagation and the pattern of
the waves.3. The amplitude of the diffraction wave decreases so its
energy decrease.
What are thefactors thatinfluence theeffect of
diffraction?
The effect of diffraction is obvious if:1. the size of the gap or obstacle is small enough2. the wavelength is large enough.
The effect of diffraction is obvious if the shape of thediffracted waves more spread out or more circular

Diffractionof sound
Sound diffractingaround corners soallowing us to hearothers who arespeaking to us fromadjacent rooms.
Diffractionof light
Light is diffracted if itpasses through a narrowslit comparable in size toits wavelength.However, the effect is notobvious as the size of theslit increases. This isbecause the wavelengthsof light are very short.
We can hear the sound
of a radio placed nearbya corner of a wall but wecannot see the radio.Why?
Sound waves are more easily diffracted in
comparison to light waves because thewavelength of sound waves is much longer thanthe wavelength of light waves.
Procedure
A ripple tank is filled with water andset up as shown.
Switch on the power pack. Use a barrier to block the incident
straight water waves. Observe thewave pattern beyond the barrier.
Send a straight water waves to passthrough a gap. Observe the pattern ofdiffracted waves beyond the gap.
Send straight water waves towards asmall gap. Observe the wave patternbeyond the small gap.

Interference of lights Occurs when an incident light wave passesthrough a double slit.An interference pattern is produced as a resultof the superposition of two emerging lightwaves from the double slit.
Young’s double-slitexperiment
Use monochromatic light (light which hasone colour and one wavelength)
The double slit must be very narrow (about0.5 mm) to produce a clear interferencepattern because the wavelength of light isvery small.
When light from monochromatic sourcepasses through a double slit, two sources ofcoherent light are produced.

ANALYSING SOUND WAVES
What issoundwaves?
Sound is a form of energy propagated as waves that makeour eardrums vibrate.Sound waves are caused by vibrating objects.Sound waves are longitudinal waves.
How issoundproduced bya vibratingobjects?
• Sound waves are produced when a vibrating objectcauses the air molecules around it to vibrate.
• When a tuning fork vibrates, layers of air vibrate and thesound energy is propagated through the air around it inthe form of waves.
• When the tuning fork moves forwards, the air iscompressed.
• When the tuning fork moves backwards, the air layersare pulled apart and cause a rarefaction.
• Therefore, a series of compression and rarefactions willproduce sound.
Why doessound wavesis a
longitudinalwaves?
• The air particles vibrate backward and forward in thedirection parallel to the direction of propagation of thesound wave.
• Wavelength of sound, λ = the distance between twosuccessive regions of compression or two successiveregions of rarefaction.
Explain howthe loudnessrelates toamplitude?
• The loudness of the sound depends on its amplitude.
• If the amplitude is increased, the loudness increases.

a low pitch sound corresponds to a low frequency ofvibration.
To investigate the relationship between the amplitude and the loudnessof sound
The audio signal generator is switched on and the frequency of thesound wave is adjusted to a suitable level. The loudness of the sound isvaried from a lot to a high level gradually. Observe the shape of thesound wave displayed on the screen of oscilloscope.

• Ultrasound waves is used to scan and capturethe image of a fetus in a mother’s womb andthe image of internal organ in a body.
• Transmitter P emits ultrasound downwards tothe fetus.
• Detector R receives the ultrasound (echoes)reflected by the various parts of the fetus.
• The soft tissues of the fetus absorb most ofthe incident ultrasound, reflect very little. The
bony parts will absorb very little, but reflectmost of the ultrasound. The reflectedultrasound will produce an image ofcontrasting brightness.
• Sonar is the technique of using ultrasound tolocate underwater objects or to measure thedepth of a seabed.
• Ultrasound signal is sent out from atransmitter.
• Its echo from the seabed is detected by areceiver which is connected to an electricalrecording circuit.
• The time interval, t between the sending andreceiving of the ultrasound signal afterreflection from the seabed is measured.
