CLICKER QUESTIONS
Question G1.01
Description: Understanding harmonic oscillation frequency.
Question
Two identical springs are attached to two identical masses. Both are resting on a frictionless horizontal
surface. One of the springs is displaced a distance dfrom its equilibrium position, while the other is
displaced a distance 2d.
d

(A)
(B)
2d
If both masses are released at the same instant, which of the springs, A or B, returns to its unstretched
length first?
1. Spring A
2. Spring B
3. Its a tie
4. Not enough information
Commentary
Purpose: To develop your understanding of what a harmonic oscillatorsfrequency means.
Discussion: The period of an oscillating object of mass m attached to a spring of spring constant kis
2 m k. Note that the period does not depend on the amplitude; it takes the same amount of time to
complete one large oscillation as one small oscillation. In both cases shown, the block is undergoing onequarter of a complete oscillation, so the time required is one quarter of a period. If the springs are of equal
stiffness and the blocks have the same mass, both will reach their equilibrium point at the same time.
Although case B travels a larger distance, it has a larger average velocity and covers that distance more
quickly. To stretch the spring twice as far, four times the potential energy is required. Block B will thus
have four times as much kinetic energy as block A when they reach their equilibrium points, which means
it will be moving twice as fast. Also, the initial spring force on B will be twice as large as on A, so it will
accelerate twice as quickly when the blocks are released.

Key Points:
The period and frequency of a simple harmonic oscillator are independent of amplitude.
For Instructors Only
This aspect of simple harmonic oscillator behavior is counterintuitive to most students; they will expect
case B to take longer, though not twice as long. A demonstration may help.
You should stress that this is only true for ideal oscillators; real physical springs, pendula, and other
oscillators deviate increasingly from ideal behavior as amplitude is increased. Nevertheless, the
approximation is good enough for small oscillations that pendulum-based clocks depend upon it for
keeping time.
Question G1.02
Description: Understanding what harmonic oscillator frequency depends upon.

628 Chapter 13
Key Points:
The oscillation frequency of an object on a spring does not depend on the orientation of the spring,
only on the springs stiffness and the objects mass.
Changing the orientation of a mass on a spring changes the equilibrium point about which oscillations
occur. For an object oscillating due to a restoring force of strength F kd= , where dis the objects
displacement from equilibrium, the angular frequency of oscillation will be = k m .
For Instructors Only
Intuitively, many students have difficulty believing that orientation makes no difference. Sometimes,
students convince themselves that cases 1 and 2 have the same frequency, but case 3 differs. They want to
see a factorof cos worked in somewhere. A demonstration, if available, may be useful.
We have not derived the relationship between restoring force and angular frequency of oscillation here;
how that is handled depends upon the level of your course and the mathematical sophistication of your
students. This question is intended for use after the simple harmonic oscillator, case 1, has been introducedand its angular frequency presented.
Question G3.01
Description: Distinguishing interference from related concepts and phenomena.
Question
The phenomenon of interference is the result of:
1. Conservation of energy2. Superposition
3. The Fourier theorem
4. Conservation of mass
5. All of the above
Commentary
Purpose: To hone the concept of interference, distinguishing it from other concepts and situations it is
frequently related to.
Discussion: Theprinciple of superposition states that if two or more traveling waves are moving through a
medium and combine at a given point, the resultant displacement of the medium at that point is the sum of
the displacements of the individual waves.
Interference is the combination of separate waves in a region of space to produce a resultant wave. It can
occur due to the convergence of waves from multiple sources, or from one source via multiple paths. Of the
four listed answers, it depends only on superpositionanswer (2).
Diffraction is not a different phenomenon from interference, but a particular case in which many waves
(from every point in a finite-width slit, for example, or from every gap in a grating) interfere.

Vibrations and Waves 629
Key Points:
Interference is a consequence of superposition.
A wide variety of phenomena, including diffraction, are instances of interference.
For Instructors Only
While discussing interference, be careful to distinguish between amplitude and intensity; students
frequently confuse these. This is especially true in many demonstrations of interference. The intensity is
usually observed, though it is superposition of amplitudes that is discussed.
Question G3.02
Description: Honing the concept of interference.
Question
Two sound waves can interfere:
1. Only when traveling in the same direction
2. Only when the frequencies are the same
3. Only when both are sinusoidal
4. Only when the phase difference is constant
5. None of the above
Commentary
Purpose: To distinguish the essential phenomenon of interference from many of the contextual features it
is frequently associated with.
Discussion: Any time two waves overlap in a linear medium (one that obeys the principle of superposition),
interference between the waves occurs. The principle of superposition states that the total excitation of the
medium (displacement in a vibrational wave, field strength in an electromagnetic wave, etc.) is equal to the
sum of the excitations due to each individual wave acting alone.
Interference occurs regardless of the waves directions, frequencies, waveforms, or phase differences. If the
waves overlap, some kind of interference will occur. (To get specific kinds of interference for example,
standing waves, stationary nodes and antinodes, and the like additional conditions are necessary.) Thus,
None of the above is the appropriate answer here.
Key Points:
Interference occurs any time two waves overlap in a linear medium (a medium obeying the principle of
superposition).
Interference does not necessarily result in a stable pattern of nodes and antinodes, standing waves, or
anything else. Those are special cases.

For Instructors Only
This question serves well as a follow-up to Question G3.01, reinforcing the ideas developed there.
The questions real purpose is to instigate a discussion about what students associate the word
interference with, so that they can learn to distinguish the general phenomenon and its preconditions from
its consequences under special cases. Too frequently, students see interference only through a small set ofthese special cases, and do not learn to generalize the phenomenon.
QUICK QUIZZES
1. (d). To complete a full cycle of oscillation, the object must travel distance 2A to positionx A= and then travel an additional distance 2A returning to the original position at x A= + .
2. (c). The force producing harmonic oscillation is always directed toward the equilibrium position,
and hence, directed opposite to the displacement from equilibrium. The acceleration is in
the direction of the force. Thus, it is also always directed opposite to the displacement from
equilibrium.
3. (b). In simple harmonic motion, the force (and hence, the acceleration) is directly proportional
to the displacement from equilibrium. Therefore, force and acceleration are both at a maximum
when the displacement is a maximum.
4. (a). The period of an object-spring system is T m k= 2 . Thus, increasing the mass by a factorof 4 will double the period of oscillation.
5. (c). The total energy of the oscillating system is equal to 122
kA , whereA is the amplitude of
oscillation. Since the object starts from rest at displacementA in both cases, it has the same
amplitude of oscillation in both cases.
6. (d). The expressions for the total energy, maximum speed, and maximum acceleration are
E kA A k m a A k m
= = = ( )
1
2
2, ,max max
andv whereA is the amplitude. Thus, all are changed
by a change in amplitude. The period of oscillation is T m k= 2 and is unchanged by alteringthe amplitude.
7. (c), (b). An accelerating elevator is equivalent to a gravitational field. Thus, if the elevator is
accelerating upward, this is equivalent to an increased effective gravitational field magnitude g,
and the period will decrease. Similarly, if the elevator is accelerating downward, the effective
value ofg is reduced and the period increases. If the elevator moves with constant velocity, the
period of the pendulum is the same as that in the stationary elevator.
8. (a). The clock will run slow. With a longer length, the period of the pendulum will increase. Thus,
it will take longer to execute each swing, so that each second according to the clock will take
longer than an actual second.
9. (b). Greater. The value ofg on the Moon is about one-sixth the value ofg on Earth, so the period
of the pendulum on the moon will be greater than the period on Earth.

ANSWERS TO MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTIONS
1. The wavelength of a wave is the distance from crest to the following crest. Thus, the distance
between a crest and the following trough is a half wavelength, giving = ( ) =2 2 4m m. Thespeed of the wave is then v = = ( )( ) =f 4 2 8m Hz m s, and (c) is the correct choice.
2. When an object undergoes simple harmonic motion, the position as a function of time may be
written as x A t A ft= = ( )cos cos 2 . Comparing this to the given relation, we see that thefrequency of vibration is f = 3 Hz, and the period is T f= =1 1 3 s, so the correct answer is (c).
3. In this spring-mass system, the total energy equals the elastic potential energy at the moment
the mass is temporarily at rest at x A= = 6 cm (i.e., at the extreme ends of the simple harmonicmotion) Thus,E kA= 2 2 and we see that as long as the spring constant kand the amplitudeAremain unchanged, the total energy is unchanged. Hence, the energy is still 12 J and (a) is the
correct choice.
4. The energy given the vibratory system equals the elastic potential energy at the extremes of the
motion,x A= . Thus, E k A= 2 2 and this energy will all be in the form of kinetic energy asthe body passes through the equilibrium position, giving m kAvmax

and (b) is the correct choice.
5. The frequency of vibration is

Thus, increasing the mass by a factor of 9 will decrease the frequency to 1 3 of its original value,
and the correct answer is (b).
6. When the object is at its maximum displacement, the magnitude of the force exerted on it bythe spring is F k xs = = ( )( ) =max . . .8 0 0 10 0 80N m m N. This force will give the mass anacceleration ofa F ms= = =0 80 2 0. .N 0.40 kg m s

converted into elastic potential energy within the spring, i.e., until kx m i2 22 2= v , or

The correct choice is seen to be (a).
8. The period of a simple pendulum is T g= 2 , and its frequency is f T g= = ( )1 1 2 .Thus, if the length is doubled so = 2 , the new frequency is

and we see that (d) is the correct response.

9. The period of a simple pendulum is T g= 2 . If the length is changed to = 4 , the newperiod will be
=

g g gT2 2
42 2 2
or the period will be doubled. The correct choice is (e).
10. For a particle executing simple harmonic motion about an equilibrium point x0, its position as
a function of time is given by x x A t = ( )0 cos , and the turning points (i.e., the extremes ofthe position) are atx x A= 0 . That is, the equilibrium position is midway between the turningpoints, so the correct response is choice (c).
11. The only false statement among the listed choices is choice (d). At the equilibrium position,x= 0,the elastic potential energy PE kx s =( )
2 2 is a minimum and the kinetic energy is a maximum.
12. In a vertical mass-spring system, the equilibrium position is the point at which the mass will
hang at rest on the lower end of the spring. If the mass is raised distanceA above this position
and released from rest, it will undergo simple harmonic motion, with amplitudeA, about the
equilibrium position. The upper turning point of the motion is at the point of release, and thelower turning point is distanceA below the equilibrium position or distance 2A below the release
point. Thus, if the release point is 15 cm above the equilibrium position, the mass drops 30 cm
before stopping momentarily and reversing direction. The correct answer is choice (c).
ANSWERS TO EVEN-NUMBERED CONCEPTUAL QUESTIONS
2. Each half-spring will have twice the spring constant of the full spring, as shown by the following
argument. The force exerted by a spring is proportional to the separation of the coils as the
spring is extended. Imagine that we extend a spring by a given distance and measure the distance
between coils. We then cut the spring in half. If one of the half-springs is now extended by the
same distance, the coils will be twice as far apart as they were for the complete spring. Thus, it
takes twice as much force to stretch the half-spring, from which we conclude that the half-springhas a spring constant which is twice that of the complete spring.
4. Friction. This includes both air resistance and damping within the spring.
6. No. The period of vibration is T L g= 2 and g is smaller at high altitude. Therefore, the periodis longer on the mountain top and the clock will run slower.
8. Shorten the pendulum to decrease the period between ticks.
10. The speed of the pulse is v = F , so increasing the tension Fin the hose increases the speed ofthe pulse. Filling the hose with water increases the mass per unit length , and will decrease thespeed of the pulse.
12. The speed of a wave on a string is given by v = F . This says the speed is independent of thefrequency of the wave. Thus, doubling the frequency leaves the speed unaffected.

(e) If the surface was rough, the block would spend energy overcoming a retarding frictionforce as it moved toward the equilibrium position, causing it to arrive at that position with

13.21 (a) The motion is simple harmonic because the tire is rotating with constant velocity and you
are looking at the uniform circular motion of the bump projected on a plane perpendicular
to the tire.

13.40 The apparent free-fall acceleration is the vector sum of the actual free-fall acceleration and the
negative of the elevators acceleration. To see this, consider an object that is hanging from a
vertical string in the elevator and appears to be at rest to the elevator passengers. These
passengers believe the tension in the string is the negative of the objects weight, or T g= m app
wheregapp is the apparent free-fall acceleration in the elevator.
An observer located outside the elevator applies Newtons second law to this object by writing
F T g a= + =m m e where
ae is the acceleration of the elevator and all its contents. Thus,
T a g g= ( ) = m me app, which gives
