The Wave EquationThe wave equation relates the speed of the wave to its frequency and wavelength:
Wave speed (v) = frequency (f) x wavelength ()
in m/s in Hz in m
V
f
![Page 8: Waves By Neil Bronks Some definitions… 1) Amplitude – this is height of the wave. 2) Wavelength ( ) – this is the distance between two corresponding](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022110319/56649c7b5503460f9492eb8e/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
f
Using this formula we can convert any wavelength to
a frequency.
Remember Frequency – this is how many waves pass by a point every second and is measured in Hertz (Hz)

Refraction through a glass block:
Wave slows down and bends towards the normal due to
entering a more dense medium
Wave speeds up and bends away from the normal due to
entering a less dense medium
Wave slows down but is not bent, due to
entering along the normal

More diffraction if the size of the gap is similar to the wavelength
More diffraction if wavelength is increased (or frequency decreased)
Diffraction is when waves spread out from the edge of an obstacle or through a gap.
Sound bends better around corners

Uses of Total Internal ReflectionOptical fibres:
An optical fibre is a long, thin, transparent rod made of glass or plastic. Light is internally reflected from one end to the other, making it possible to send large chunks of information
Optical fibres can be used for communications by sending e-m signals through the cable. The main advantage of this is a reduced signal loss. Also no magnetic interference.
It is important to coat the strand in a material of low n.
The light can not leak into the next strand.

Other uses of total internal reflection1) Endoscopes (a medical device used to see inside the body):
2) Binoculars and periscopes (using “reflecting prisms”)

How does ultrasound work?
Ultrasonic waves are partly _________ at the boundary as they pass from one _______ to another. The time taken for these reflections can be used to measure the _______ of the reflecting surface and this information is used to build up a __________ of the object.
Words – depth, reflected, picture, medium
Ultrasound is the region of sound above 20,000Hz – it can’t be heard by humans. It can be used in pre-natal scanning:How does it work?

Other uses of ultrasound1) Echo sounding
The ultrasound is reflected from the sea floor.
2) Breaking down kidney stonesUltrasonic waves break kidney stones into much smaller pieces
3) Cleaning (including teeth)Ultrasound causes dirt to vibrate dirt off without damaging the object

The electromagnetic spectrum
Gamma rays
X-rays Ultra violet Visible light
Infra red Microwaves
Radio/TV
Each type of radiation shown in the electromagnetic spectrum has a different wavelength and a different frequency:
Each of these types travels at the same speed through a vacuum and can be polarised. Different wavelengths are absorbed by different surfaces (e.g. infra red is absorbed very well by black surfaces). This absorption may heat the material up (like infra red and microwaves) or cause an alternating current (like in a TV Ariel).
High frequency, short wavelength
Low frequency,long wavelength
γ
The higher the frequency of the wave, the greater its energy. This makes X-rays dangerous and radio waves
safe

How Microwaves and Infra-red workMicrowaves are absorbed by water molecules up to a depth of a few centimetres. The heat then reaches the centre of the food by conduction.
Infra-red waves are absorbed by the surface of the material and the energy is then passed to the centre of the food by conduction.
The higher the frequency of the wave, the greater its
energy

Polarization of LightNormally all e-m waves (Transverse)
oscillate in all perpendicular planes at once.
Polarization e-m wave vibrates in only one plane
Sound is a longitudinal wave and so can not be Polarised

Polarizing Filters
Hydrocarbons that absorb light that is in it’s plane of orientation.
Polarisation is the taking a transverse wave that oscillates in all perpendicular planes and filtering it so it oscillates in only one perpendicular plane.

Method1. Strike the highest frequency (512 Hz)
tuning fork and hold it in a horizontal position just above the mouth of the tube.
2. Slide the tube slowly up/down until the note heard from the tube is at its loudest; resonance is now occurring.
3. Measure the length of the air column (from the water level to the top of the tube) l1 with a metre stick.

• An end correction factor has to be added to the length e = 0.3d, where d is the average internal diameter of the tube (measured using a vernier callipers).
• Hence λ = 4(l1 + 0.3d) • c = f• c = 4f(l1 + 0.3d). • Calculate a value of c for each tuning fork
and find an average value for the speed of sound.

Sound Intensity• Amount of sound
energy passing through 1m2 every second (PERPENDICULAR)
• Units are just Watts/meter
As the sound gets further from source it spreads making the intensity decrease
![Page 99: Waves By Neil Bronks Some definitions… 1) Amplitude – this is height of the wave. 2) Wavelength ( ) – this is the distance between two corresponding](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022110319/56649c7b5503460f9492eb8e/html5/thumbnails/99.jpg)
Calculations• A speaker has an output of 10W.
What is its intensity at 2m away?
Area of Sphere = 4 r2
= 4x3.142x4 = 50.2 m2
If we look in the log book the units of Sound intensity is W/m2 this gives us the calculation.Sound Intensity Level=10W/50.2m2
=0.2 W/M2

Sound Intensity Level• This is to measure the very large range of
energy levels the ear can respond to, measured in decibels (dB). This is an exponential scale so if the energy doubles the level goes up by e dB.
• Home CD player 75 dB tops but a good rock band maybe 110dB.
• Health and safety tell us that if you stay in an environment above 85dB for more than 8 hrs you do permanent and un-repairable damage to your ears. So Muse is right out.

Sound Intensity level
• Also called acoustic intensity level is a logarithmic measure of the sound intensity in comparison to the reference level of 0 dB (decibels).
• The measure of a ratio of two sound intensities is
• where J1 and J0 are the intensities.
• The sound intensity level is given the letter "LJ" and is measured in "dB". Decibels (dB) are dimensionless.
![Page 102: Waves By Neil Bronks Some definitions… 1) Amplitude – this is height of the wave. 2) Wavelength ( ) – this is the distance between two corresponding](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022110319/56649c7b5503460f9492eb8e/html5/thumbnails/102.jpg)
• If J0 is the standard reference sound intensity, where
• (W = watt), then instead of "dB" we use "dB SIL". (SIL = sound intensity level).
• We also have dBA, which is adjusted to allow for the range of the human ear.

To achieve a loud sound: * If necessary, reflectors and diffusers
may be used to provide beneficial supporting sound reflections
* The interior surfaces of the hall should be hard to ensure that sound energy is not absorbed and lost.

Threshold of Hearing
• The absolute threshold of hearing (ATH) is the minimum sound level of a pure tone that an average ear with normal hearing can hear in a noiseless environment at 1kHz.
![Page 106: Waves By Neil Bronks Some definitions… 1) Amplitude – this is height of the wave. 2) Wavelength ( ) – this is the distance between two corresponding](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022110319/56649c7b5503460f9492eb8e/html5/thumbnails/106.jpg)
Limits of Audibility• The top and bottom
values of the range are known as the limits of audibility.
• For the human ear, the lower limit is approximately 20 Hz and the upper limit is 20,000 Hz. In other words, our ears are supposed to be able to hear sound with frequencies that are greater than 20 Hz and less than 20,000 Hz.

• Different people have different ranges of audibility.
• People who are old cannot hear as well as those who are young. The ability of the ear drum to respond to sound decreases with age and the range of audibility becomes very much reduced as the lower limit rises and the upper limit falls.

Conversions
• Every increase of 3 decibels results in a doubling of intensity
• E.g. 104 W/m2 rising to 208 W/m2 is an increase of 3dB
• . 312 W/m2 rising to 1248 W/m2 is an increase of 6dB (ie 70dB to 76dB)

Most of the electron energy is lost as heat.-about 90%
X-rays very penetrating, fog film, not effected by fields.

Photons
• Then the electron falls back. The gap is fixed so the energy it gives out is always the same

Photons
• So Max Planck said all energy must come in these packets called photons.
• He came up with a formula for the frequency
E1E2
E2 –E1 = h.f
Where f=frequency
h= Planck’s constant

Albert Einstein• Uncle Albert was already a
published scientist but the relativity stuff had not set the world alight.
• He set his career in real motion when he solved a problem and started the science of Quantum Mechanics that the old world Jew in him could never come to terms with.

We can prove this with the experiment below

A charged Zinc plate is attached to an Electroscope
When a U.V. lamp is shone on the plate the leaf collapses as all the electrons leave the surface of the zinc

The Photoelectric Effect
The more intensity you gave it the more electrical current was produced
However something strange happened when you looked at frequency
Frequency of light

Einstein’s LawSo we define the Photoelectric effect as:-
Electrons being ejected from the surface of a metal by incident light of a suitable frequency.
Uncle Albert used Plank’s theory that as energy came in packets
A small packet would not give the electron enough energy to leave
Low frequency light had too small a parcel of energy to get the electron free.
Energy of each photon = h.f
