• Waves– Are disturbances that move through an empty space
or through medium (material)– Waves transfer energy without transferring matter.– Particles of medium move in simple harmonic motion
Mechanical: Through a medium
Electromagnetic: Through empty space
• Mechanical wave:– Caused by a disturbed medium and move by action
reaction of particles– ex: water wave, sound
• A medium is matter particles like gas (ex. air), liquid (ex. Water), and solid (ex. earth)
Two types of mechanical waves that require a medium
Transverse Wave
Longitudinal Wave
Electromagnetic wave:• Move through empty space (no medium)• Created by moving electrons• Ex. radio waves, microwaves, light• SOL= 3.0 x 10 8 m/s
Through empty space
Types Electromagnetic Waves
• In order to start and transmit a wave, a source of disturbance (vibration) and a disturbed medium are required.
• Mechanical caused by vibrating particles– Like seen here
• Electromagnetic by vibrating electrons
Damping:
• A decrease in the amplitude of a wave
• Caused by energy loss or the spreading out of the wave over a larger area.
• Wave pulse is a single wave disturbance
• Wave train (continuous wave) - is a series of pulses at intervals
Transverse Wave:• Wave particles move perpendicular to the
direction the wave travels• Ex. vibrating string of a musical instrument

• Crest- highest point on a transverse wave• Trough- lowest point on a transverse wave• Equilibrium position- center around
which simple harmonic motion occurs• Amplitude- from the equilibrium position to
the crest or trough
Longitudinal Wave:
• Particles vibrate parallel to the direction the wave travels
• ex. sound wave
Direction of travel
Particles vibrate parallel to the direction of travel
Parts of a Longitudinal Wave:
• Compression- point where the particles are closest together
• Rarefaction- point where the particles are furthest apart

Example what is the velocity of a wave that has a frequency of 3Hz and a wavelength of 5m?
Relationship between frequency and wavelength.
•Wavelength and frequency are inversely related
•As frequency goes up the wavelength gets shorter (assuming no change in velocity)

Period (T) vs. Frequency (f)
• Period (T) – seconds for one cycle– (unit s)
• Frequency (f) – cycles for one second – (unit Hz)
• If you know one you can solve for the other

3. When you increase the length of the pendulum string, what happens to frequency?
• Pendulum- a weight on a string that moves in simple harmonic motion (swings back and forth).
• Movement from a to c and back to a is one complete cycle or vibration
accelerating decelerating
This is the equilibrium position.
• Simple harmonic motion- vibration about an equilibrium position– Constant back and forth motion over the
same path.– 15º is the maximum angle for a pendulum to
have simple harmonic motion where our equations work
• Masses do not effect the period in simple harmonic motion.
• What effects the period:• L – length of the string• g – acceleration due to gravity

Reflection:
• The turning back of a wave at the boundary of a new medium
• Ex: light off a mirror, or sound echo
• Incident wave- incoming
Law of Reflection:• Angle of reflection of a wave equals angle of
incidence
• θr = θi
• Normal line – line perpendicular to surface being reflected off of.
θr
θiNormal line
Example 11
• Draw the reflected wave, labeling angles of incidence, reflection, and the normal line
35º
Wave front:
• Portion of a medium’s surface in which particles are in phase
• Particles in phase are in the same stage of their vibration.
Refraction:
• the bending of a wave path as it enters a new medium obliquely (indirectly)
• caused by difference in speed of the new medium
• fast to slow – bends toward the normal line
• slow to fast – bends away from normal
Example 13
• Draw the refracted wave, labeling the normal line, angle of incidence, and angle of refraction.

Diffraction:
• Spreading of waves around edges or through an opening of a boundary
• Is greatest when size of opening is smaller than wavelength
Principle of Superposition:
• Displacement of a medium by two or more waves is the algebraic sum of the displacements of the waves alone
Interference:• Result of the superposition of two
or more waves• constructive- (crest meets crest
or trough meets trough) amplitudes add
• destructive – (crest meets trough) amplitudes subtract
• Only temporary as paths cross

Sound Frequency:
• Determines pitch
• 20 – 20,000 Hz are audible to an average person
• Less than 20 Hz are infrasonic
• Greater than 20,000 Hz are ultrasonic
Echolocation and Sonar
• Sonar is simply making use of an echo.
• An echo is used to locate an object.
• When an animal or machine makes a noise, it sends sound waves into the environment around it.
• Those waves bounce off nearby objects, and some of them reflect back to the object that made the noise.
• Whales, Dolphins, Bats, and many more organisms use sound for locating prey and predators
Sound Velocity
• Largely depends on medium elasticity
• Solids>liquids>gasses
• Then depends on temperature– Faster at higher temperatures– Air (at 0ºC) v = 331 m/s and +/-
0.6 m/s per ºC
Generally between phases vsolids > vliquids > vgases
Interesting sound facts• Sound travels 15 times faster in the steel from a
railroad track.
• Sound travels 4 times faster in water
• At sea level, the speed of sound is 340 m/s or 760 mi/hr. This is called mach 1.
The speed of sound will be the same for all frequencies under the same conditions.
– Wavelength and frequency are inversely related
– As frequency goes up the wavelength gets shorter

• The property of sound waves associated with loudness is amplitude
• The property associated with pitch is frequency
The Decibel Scale
• Threshold of hearing (Io)-
– the minimum intensity sound that can be heard at certain frequencies
Io= 1.0 x 10-12
ß = 0 dB at the threshold of hearing
More on the Decibel Scale
• The decibel scale relates sound intensity to human hearing– An intensity of 0 dB is when there is enough energy
for an average human to detect the sound– 1-dB in intensity level is the smallest change in
loudness that an average listener can detect– If the relative intensity level increases by 10 dB, the
new sound seems approximately twice as loud as the original sound.
Resonance in Music
• Forced Vibration- The vibration of an object that is made to vibrate by another vibrating object.
• Sympathetic vibrations- secondary vibrations caused by forced vibration of a first object.
• Sounding board- part of an instrument forced into vibration to amplify sound
Example of creating forced vibrations to make a sound louder
• Sounding board of a musical instrument.
• Example: guitar makes a strings vibrations resonate
Resonance:
• Also called sympathetic vibrations
• Dramatic increase in the amplitude of a wave when the frequency of an applied force matches the natural frequency of the object.
Resonance can be dangerous
• Wind caused the Tacoma Narrows suspension bridge to vibrate at its natural frequency.
• The amplitude of the vibrations caused too much strain on the bridge until it collapsed.
Difference between music and noise
• Noise- a random mixture of a large number of sound frequencies
• Music- Sound frequency or mixture of frequencies with a pattern
Percussion Instrument:
• Musical sound produced by striking the object
• Frequency depends on the mass of the object.
• To raise the pitch- decrease the mass of the object.
• Ex- drums, xylophone, bells
Stringed Instrument• Musical sound produced by
plucking or blowing strings• Frequency depends on four
factors• To raise pitch
– 1. decrease diameter of string– 2. increase tension– 3 decrease length– 4. decrease density of string
material
• Examples: guitar, violin
Wind Instrument
• Musical sound produced by vibrating air column
• Frequency depends mainly on length of air column
• To raise pitch- decrease the size of the air column
• Examples- oboe, flute
• Standing Waves are formed in the instrument due to vibrations
• When the natural frequency is hit the sound amplifies
Closed Ended Wind Column Instrument
• There is an antinode at the closed end.
• Count standing waves by including the return trip.
• Acoustics- field of study related to sound
• Acoustic designers try to maximize the quality of sound reaching the audience– Control the size, shape, and material used– They try and control the reflection
• Reverberation- If a reflected sound wave reaches the ear within 0.1 seconds of the initial sound, then it seems to the person that the sound is prolonged.
• Echoes- A perceived second sound that arrives after the first has died out.– Echoes occur when a reflected sound wave
reaches the ear more than 0.1 seconds after the original sound wave was heard.
Two types of reflection with sound
