Unit 4- Waves

Waves are caused by vibrations, such as objects undergoing simple harmonic motion. Although water waves, sound waves, springs, and light all seem very different, they share many properties that can be explained using a wave model. This unit introduces trainees to some general wave properties which will later be appled to specific types of waves.

As a wave passes through a medium, the atoms that make up the medium are displaced from equilibrium. This is a disturbance of the medium.

A wave disturbance is created by a source. The source of a wave might be a rock thrown into water, your hand plucking a stretched string, or an oscillating speaker cone pushing on air.

A wave transfers energy.

The African clawed frog detects prey animals by the vibrations they make in the water. They have an array of sensors called the lateral line organ on each side of its body. This organ detects oscillations of the water due to passing waves. The frog can determine where the waves come from and what type of animal made them, and whether a strike is called for.

Types of Waves

The vibration that creates a wave can be either:

• a wave pulse (a single vibration)• a continuous or periodic wave (a vibration which repeats over time)

Waves can be divided into two broad categories:

• Mechanical Waves

these waves require a medium (some substance/material) in order to travel or move.

Examplessound waves, water waves, slinky waves

(air) (water) (slinky coils)

Caution!Mechanical waves move through matter without actually carrying the matter with them.

• Electromagnetic Waves these waves do not require a medium in order to move (can travel in a vacuum); however, they can move through a medium if one is present. Mechanical waves cannot travel through a vacuum.

Examples

visible light, microwaves, xrays

Defining waves this way leads to three notable categories:

• transverse waves• longitudinal waves• surface waves

A wave can be defined in terms of the direction of the wave's motion compared to the direction of the medium's motion.

Transverse Waves the particles of the medium vibrate perpendicular to the wave's direction of motion

Longitudinal Waves the particles of the medium move parallel to the wave's direction of motion

Water/Surface Waves the particles at the surface of the medium move in circles

Particle Movement

Wave's Direction of Motion

Water waves are an example of waves that involve a combination of both longitudinal and transverse motions. As a wave travels through the waver, the particles travel in clockwise circles.

The radius of the circles decreases as the depth into the water increases. The movie above shows a water wave travelling fromleft to right in a region where the depth of the water is greater than the wavelength of the waves. Two particles in blue have been identified to show that each particle indeed travels in a clockwise circle as the wave passes.

The high points of the wave are called crests and the low points are called troughs.

The "middle" position is called the equilibrium or rest position. This is where the medium would lie if there was no wave passing through the medium.

The maximum displacement of the wave from its equilibrium position is called the amplitude.

The energy transported by a wave is directly proportional to the square of the amplitude. E α A2

A region where the coils are pressed together in a small amount of space is known as a compression.

A region where the coils are spread apart, thus maximizing the distance between coils, is known as a rarefaction.

Longitudinal Pulses and Waves

A wavelength, λ, is defined as the distance betweenthe centers of successive compressions/rarefactions.

The wavelength of a wave is often defined as thedistance between two successive crests.

Actually, it is the distance between any two successive points where the wave motion repeats.

Wavelength is given the symbol λ (called lambda)and is measured in meters.

Wave Terminology


12

December 13, 2013

The frequency is the number of complete wavecycles that pass a given point per unit time. Frequency is given the symbol f and is measured in hertz.

Frequency

The frequency of a wave does not depend on the medium through which the wave is passing.

The frequency of wave depends only on the frequency of the source of vibation!

Closely related to frequency is the measurement called period. The period of a wave is the time needed for the wave motion to repeat. The symbol T represents period, which is measured in seconds.

SpeedThe wave speed is the speed at which any part of the wave moves. It is not the speed of the particles of the medium.

If we replace the period with 1/f, we get a new formula for wave speed.

This equation is known as the wave equation and it applies to ALL the wave types.

f frequency Hzλ wavelength mv speed m/s

NoteUnless otherwise stated, you can assume that electromagnetic waves travel at a speed of 3.00 x 108 m/s (the speed of light in a vacuum).

ultraviolet wavesxrays

The following are all electromangetic waves.

December 13, 2013

The speed of a wave depends only on the nature/ properties of the medium that it is passing through.

When a wave moves from one medium to another, the frequency remains the same but the speed changes.

NOTE

• A Slinky Dog is stretched out between Bubba and Figgy Newton. Bubba sends a pulse down the Slinky Dog.

If Bubba and Figgy back away from one another, the Slinky Dog will stretch out even more. This essentially changes the medium. If Bubba sends another pulse down the Slinky Dog, the pulse will travel at a greater speed.

Examples

• Water waves change their speed depending on the depth of the water. As waves move from deep to shallow water, their wavelengths de crease. Therefore, waves travel slower in shal lower water.

Wave Behaviors

The Law of Reflection

When a wave strikes a boundary at an angle, the wave will bounce off the boundary at thesame angle.

The normal is a line that is perpendicular to the boundary. It is a useful reference for measuringangles.

The angle between the normal and the inicident ray, θi, is called the incident angle.

The angle between the normal and the reflectedray, θr, is called the reflected angle.

The blue and purple lines represent wave fronts.They represent the crests of the waves. A better way to show the motion of a wave is to draw linescalled rays.

The Law of Reflection

θi = θr

The angles must be measured from the normal to the rays and NOT from the

boundary to the ray.

Refraction

When a wave crosses into a new medium where itsspeed is different, it will change its direction of motion. This phenomenon is known as refraction.

More about this wave behavior a little later.....


25

When waves encounter a barrier they tend to bendaround it and spread into the area behind the obstacle. This phenomena is called diffraction. You may have noticed diffraction as water waves hit a pier or buoy.

Waves may also be diffracted by an aperture (an opening in a barrier).

2. the wavelength; the longer the wavelength, the greater the diffraction.

Diffraction

The amount of diffraction depends on:

1. the size of the opening; the smaller the opening the greater the diffraction.

The Principle of Superposition

"When two or more waves are simultaneouslypresent at a single point in space,

the displacement of the medium at that point is the sum of the displacements due

to each individual wave."

SimulationSuperposition of Waves

The term phase is used to describe the relative positions of the crests of two different waves.

• waves are said to be "in phase" when the crests are aligned.

• waves are said to be "out of phase" when the crests do not line up.

The supersposition of two waves is often called interference.

The displacement of the medium where the waves overlap is largerthan it would be due to either ofthe waves separately.

The displacement of the medium where the waves overlap is lessthan it would be due to either ofthe waves separately.

Standing waves have alternating nodes and antinodes.

node: a point in the medium that is completely undisturbed at all times (at this point the medium is never displaced); it is produced by the destructive interference of waves

antinode: a point in the medium that undergoes the greatest displacement; it is pro duced by the constructive interference of waves

They are called standing waves because although the medium moves, there does not appear to be any propogation of the wave.

Standing Waves

SimulationStanding Waves

If two interfering waves have just the right frequency,the same wavelengths and equal amplitudes, a special wave called a standing wave will be produced.

Resonance

Resonance is a phenomena that occurs when energy is added to a vibrating system at the same frequency as its natural frequency; during resonance, the amplitudes of the vibrations of the object become larger.

Examples1. Shattering Glass

2. Tacoma Narrows Bridge

3. Rice

The natural frequency is the lowest frequency at which an object will vibrate when it is allowed tovibrate freely.

Two ropes are tied together. What will be the frequency of the wave in the new medium?

Wave Behaviors

The speed of a wave depends only on the propertiesof the medium that it is passing through. This is true for both mechanical and electromagnetic waves.

When waves pass into a new medium, their speed will either increase or decrease.

Speed

Wavelength

What happens to the length of a wave as itpasses from one medium into another?

Amplitude

What happens to the amplitude of a wave as it passes from one medium into another?

Period

What happens to the period of a wave as itpasses from one medium into another?

Wave pulses travel slower in large, heavy springs. A heavy spring can be referred to as a 'slow medium".

Pulses travel faster in small, lighter springs. A light spring can be referred to as a "fast medium".


38

December 13, 2013

When a pulse/wave encounters a different medium only a portion of the pulse/wave will enter the new medium. Some of the initial pulse/waveenergy will "bounce back" and remain in the initial medium.

This phenomenon is known as reflection.

BOUNDARY BEHAVIOR

The behavior of a wave (or pulse) upon reaching the end of a medium is referred to as boundary behavior.

The diagram shows that the amplitude doesn't change when the pulse reflects, but the pulse is inverted. We can understand why by looking at the forces at the boundary.

When the pulse reaches the wall, the piece of string right at the wall feels an upward force from the approaching pulse. But this piece of string is fixed in place, so there must be an opposite force from the wall on this piece of string. This downward force leads to an inverted reflected pulse.


39

December 13, 2013

The initial wave is called the incident wave.

The portion of the wave that enters the second medium is called the transmitted wave.

The portion that is reflected back into the first medium is called the reflected wave.

The degree of difference between the two mediums determines how much of the inci

dent wave is reflected.

If the mediums are very similar (fresh andwater and salt water), most of the incident wave will be transmitted.

If the mediums are very different (water and molasses) most of the incident wave will bereflected.
