The Nature of Waves
1. A wave is a travelling disturbance2. A wave carries energy from place to place
![Page 3: Grade 11 Physics Waves. The Nature of Waves 1.A wave is a travelling disturbance 2.A wave carries energy from place to place.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649dff5503460f94ae6c00/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Wave Pulse• A single disturbance that travels through a
medium• A wave of short duration
![Page 4: Grade 11 Physics Waves. The Nature of Waves 1.A wave is a travelling disturbance 2.A wave carries energy from place to place.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649dff5503460f94ae6c00/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Periodic Waves• If the disturbance repeats itself regularly then
a periodic wave is generated.
![Page 5: Grade 11 Physics Waves. The Nature of Waves 1.A wave is a travelling disturbance 2.A wave carries energy from place to place.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649dff5503460f94ae6c00/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Note
• It is the disturbance that travels through the medium, not the medium itself.
![Page 6: Grade 11 Physics Waves. The Nature of Waves 1.A wave is a travelling disturbance 2.A wave carries energy from place to place.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649dff5503460f94ae6c00/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Important• Regardless of the nature of the wave (sound, slinky,
water, etc) or the medium through which it travels (air, solid, liquid, etc.) all waves exhibit wave-like behaviour (interference, diffraction, refraction, etc.) and can be described using the same terminology (amplitude, wavelength, speed, etc.) and the same mathematical equations
• When I use sound waves to demonstrate and illustrate the Doppler effect for example, it is not because only sound waves exhibit this effect. In fact all waves exhibit this effect. It’s just easiest to demonstrate it with sound waves.
![Page 7: Grade 11 Physics Waves. The Nature of Waves 1.A wave is a travelling disturbance 2.A wave carries energy from place to place.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649dff5503460f94ae6c00/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Here is the first exception …• Two basic types of waves:• If the disturbance is
perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave it is called a transverse wave
• If the disturbance is parallel to the direction of propagation of the wave it is called a longitudinal wave

Periodicity
• Examples: pendulum, rocking chair, engine cycle, Earth’s orbit, etc.
• When talking about anything that repeats itself at regular time intervals we can define …
• The Period T: The time for one complete cycle• The frequency f: The number of complete
cycles per unit time• What is the relationship between these two?

Speed of a wave
• The speed of a wave depends on the physical properties of the medium
• Examples:– Waves travel faster through stiffer springs– Speed of waves in water depends on the depth– Sound waves travel faster in warmer air
![Page 19: Grade 11 Physics Waves. The Nature of Waves 1.A wave is a travelling disturbance 2.A wave carries energy from place to place.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649dff5503460f94ae6c00/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Reflection
• Fixed-end
• Free end
![Page 20: Grade 11 Physics Waves. The Nature of Waves 1.A wave is a travelling disturbance 2.A wave carries energy from place to place.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649dff5503460f94ae6c00/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Reflection and Transmission
• Occurs at the boundary where the speed of wave changes
![Page 21: Grade 11 Physics Waves. The Nature of Waves 1.A wave is a travelling disturbance 2.A wave carries energy from place to place.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649dff5503460f94ae6c00/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Interference
• What happens when two waves meet?• Wave interference occurs when two waves act
simultaneously on the same particles of a medium. There are two types of interference: constructive and destructive.
• destructive interference occurs when a crest meets a trough resulting in a lower amplitude
• Constructive interference occurs when pulses build each other up, resulting in a larger amplitude (crest meets a crest or trough meets a trough)
![Page 22: Grade 11 Physics Waves. The Nature of Waves 1.A wave is a travelling disturbance 2.A wave carries energy from place to place.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649dff5503460f94ae6c00/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
The Nature of Sound
• Longitudinal wave that is created by a vibrating object
• Sound wave consists of traveling pulses of high pressure zones, or condensations, alternating with travelling pulses of low pressure zones, or rarefactions
• These pressure fluctuations are normally very small
![Page 23: Grade 11 Physics Waves. The Nature of Waves 1.A wave is a travelling disturbance 2.A wave carries energy from place to place.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649dff5503460f94ae6c00/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

![Page 25: Grade 11 Physics Waves. The Nature of Waves 1.A wave is a travelling disturbance 2.A wave carries energy from place to place.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649dff5503460f94ae6c00/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
• Sound requires a medium (gas, liquid, or solid)• Cannot exist in a vacuum
![Page 26: Grade 11 Physics Waves. The Nature of Waves 1.A wave is a travelling disturbance 2.A wave carries energy from place to place.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649dff5503460f94ae6c00/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
The frequency of a sound wave
• A sound with a single frequency is called a pure tone• Human hearing– You can hear sounds from 20 Hz to 20000 Hz (20 kHz)– Me…up to about 12 -14 kHz– Infrasonic (<20 Hz) Ultrasonic (>20 kHz)– Rhinos use infrasonic (down to 5 Hz)– Bats use ultrasonic (up to 100 kHz)
• The brain interprets the frequency detected by the ear in terms of pitch
![Page 27: Grade 11 Physics Waves. The Nature of Waves 1.A wave is a travelling disturbance 2.A wave carries energy from place to place.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649dff5503460f94ae6c00/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
• High pitch corresponds to high frequency
• Low pitch corresponds to low frequency
![Page 28: Grade 11 Physics Waves. The Nature of Waves 1.A wave is a travelling disturbance 2.A wave carries energy from place to place.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649dff5503460f94ae6c00/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
The Speed of Sound
• Sound travels through gases, liquids, and solids, at considerably different speeds
• At room temp in air its approx 343 m/s• Moves 4 times faster in water• Moves 17 times faster in solids• Speed increases with temp– Air (0°C) 331 m/s– Air (20°C) 343 m/s
![Page 29: Grade 11 Physics Waves. The Nature of Waves 1.A wave is a travelling disturbance 2.A wave carries energy from place to place.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649dff5503460f94ae6c00/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
• Unless otherwise stated assume air at 20°C
![Page 31: Grade 11 Physics Waves. The Nature of Waves 1.A wave is a travelling disturbance 2.A wave carries energy from place to place.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649dff5503460f94ae6c00/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Natural Frequency
• Nearly all objects when hit, struck, plucked, or strummed will vibrate
• They tend to vibrate at a particular frequency (or set of frequencies) called the natural frequency
• Some tend to vibrate at a single frequency (pure tone) like a flute or a tuning fork while others vibrate at a set of frequencies
![Page 32: Grade 11 Physics Waves. The Nature of Waves 1.A wave is a travelling disturbance 2.A wave carries energy from place to place.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649dff5503460f94ae6c00/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
• The natural frequency of an object is determined by its physical properties
• Example: Guitar String– Linear density– Tension– Length
![Page 34: Grade 11 Physics Waves. The Nature of Waves 1.A wave is a travelling disturbance 2.A wave carries energy from place to place.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649dff5503460f94ae6c00/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)

Forced Vibration
• The tendency of one vibrating object to force another object into vibrational motion
• A louder sound is always produced when an accompanying object of greater surface area is forced into vibration
• Examples– Wooden body of a guitar– Sounding board in a piano
![Page 36: Grade 11 Physics Waves. The Nature of Waves 1.A wave is a travelling disturbance 2.A wave carries energy from place to place.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649dff5503460f94ae6c00/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Resonance
• Occurs when the frequency of forced vibration matches the natural frequency of the second object
• The result is always a large vibration
![Page 37: Grade 11 Physics Waves. The Nature of Waves 1.A wave is a travelling disturbance 2.A wave carries energy from place to place.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649dff5503460f94ae6c00/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Interference
• Sound waves, like any waves, can be made to exhibit interference
• When two or more sound waves from different sources are present at the same time, they interact with each other to produce a new wave.
• The new wave is the sum of all the different waves.
![Page 38: Grade 11 Physics Waves. The Nature of Waves 1.A wave is a travelling disturbance 2.A wave carries energy from place to place.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649dff5503460f94ae6c00/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
• Wave interaction is called interference.• If the compressions and the rarefactions of the
two waves line up, they strengthen each other and create a wave with a higher intensity.
• This type of interference is known as constructive.• When the compressions and rarefactions are out
of phase, their interaction creates a wave with a dampened or lower intensity.
• This is destructive interference.

Beats• A special case of interference occurs when two
tones of slightly different frequencies are sounded together
• A fluctuation in the loudness, called beats, is heard• The frequency of the beats is equal to the
difference in frequencies• Example: If a 262 Hz and 266 Hz tuning forks are
sounded together the beat frequency will be …• … 4 Hz !!!!

Diffraction
• the bending of waves around obstacles and the spreading out of waves beyond openings.
• Most pronounced when the wavelength is comparable to the size of the opening or obstacle

Doppler Effect• is the change in frequency of a wave for an
observer moving relative to the source of the wave. • It is commonly heard when a vehicle sounding a
siren or horn approaches, passes, and recedes from an observer.
• The received frequency is higher (compared to the emitted frequency) during the approach, it is identical at the instant of passing by, and it is lower during the recession.

What is light?
• Particle or wave?• Up until 1801 there were two competing
theories –light as a wave and light as a particle• Both theories could explain the then known
properties of light, namely reflection and refraction
![Page 50: Grade 11 Physics Waves. The Nature of Waves 1.A wave is a travelling disturbance 2.A wave carries energy from place to place.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649dff5503460f94ae6c00/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Young’s Double Slit Experiment (1801)
• Showed that light was a wave
![Page 51: Grade 11 Physics Waves. The Nature of Waves 1.A wave is a travelling disturbance 2.A wave carries energy from place to place.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649dff5503460f94ae6c00/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
James Clerk Maxwell
• In 1865 he proposed the existence of electromagnetic waves produced by the vibration of electric charges
• When he calculated the speed at which such waves should propagate it came out to a value very close to that of the speed of light
• He concluded that light was a form of electromagnetic radiation

Electromagnetic Spectrum
![Page 53: Grade 11 Physics Waves. The Nature of Waves 1.A wave is a travelling disturbance 2.A wave carries energy from place to place.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649dff5503460f94ae6c00/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
But then …• Albert Einstein (1905) explained the photoelectric effect by
theorizing that light is composed of particles whose energy depended on the frequency of the light
• He called these particles photons
![Page 54: Grade 11 Physics Waves. The Nature of Waves 1.A wave is a travelling disturbance 2.A wave carries energy from place to place.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649dff5503460f94ae6c00/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
Wave-particle duality• Electromagnetic radiation propagates following
linear wave equations, but can only be emitted or absorbed as discrete elements, thus acting as a wave and a particle simultaneously.
• In 1924, Louis-Victor de Broglie formulated the de Broglie hypothesis, claiming that all matter, not just light, has a wave-like nature
• This was confirmed 3 years later when electrons were observed to behave like waves and form interference patterns
![Page 55: Grade 11 Physics Waves. The Nature of Waves 1.A wave is a travelling disturbance 2.A wave carries energy from place to place.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649dff5503460f94ae6c00/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
The Speed of Light
• Ole Romer first demonstrated in 1676 that light travelled at a finite speed (as opposed to instantaneously)
• First accurate measurement was made in 1880 by Albert Michelson
• The speed of light in vacuum, usually denoted by c, is a physical constant important in many areas of physics. Its value is 299,792,458 metres per second

Laser Light
• Light emitted by a common lamp has many different frequencies and it tends to spread out after a short distance becoming wider and wider and less intense with increased distance
• It is said to be incoherent• A beam of light that has the same frequency
and direction is said to be coherent• Coherent light is produced by a laser
