    6.1 WAVES

    What iswaves?

    Process of transferring energy from one location to anotherwhich is produced by an oscillating or vibrating motion.

    Examples ofwaves

    Light waves are produced as a result of vibrations ofelectrons in an atom

    Sound waves are produced by vibrating mechanical bodiessuch as a guitar strings or a tuning fork.

    Water waves are produced by a disturbance on a still water

    surface.

    How dowavestransferenergy?

    When energy is transferred by a wave from a vibratingsource to a distant receiver, there is no transfer of matterbetween the two points.

    When the string is shaken up and down, adisturbance moves along the length of thestring. It is the disturbance that moves alongthe length of the string, not parts of the stringitself.

    The energytransferred from avibrating source toa receiver is carriedby a disturbance in

    2/59

    a medium, not bymatter moving fromone place toanother within themedium

    Drop a stone in a quite pond. It will produce awave that moves out from the center in expandingcircles. It is the disturbance that moves, not thewater. After the disturbance passes, the water iswhere it was before the wave was produced .

    The string and water is the medium through whichwave energy travels.

    What is

    TransverseWave?

    A transverse wave is a wave in which the vibration ofparticles in the medium is at right angle to the direction ofpropagation of the wave.

    The spring is moved sideways. The motion of the particlesmedium (spring) is at right angles to the direction in which thewave travels.

    Examples: water waves, light waves

    What isLongitudinal Waves?

    A longitudinal wave is a wave which the vibration of particlesin the medium is along (parallel to) the direction ofpropagation of the wave.

    The slinky spring moves backwards and forwards to producea transverse wave. The particles of the medium (spring) movealong the direction of the wave. The wave that travels alongthe spring consists of a series of compression and

    rarefaction.

    Examples: sounds waves.

    What is a ripple tank?

    The phenomenon of water waves can beinvestigated using a ripple tank.

    The water waves are produced by avibrating bar on the water surface.

    The tank is leveled so that the depth ofwater in the tank is uniform to ensurewater waves propagate with uniformspeed.

    The water acts as a lens toproduce a pattern of bright

    and dark regions on a piece ofwhite paper placed under thetank when light passesthrough it.

    Water waves have crests andtroughs.

    A crest is the highest positionof the wave acts as a convexlens, whereas a trough is the

    lowest position acts as aconcave lens.

    Light rays from the lamp ontop will focus onto the whitescreen below. The brightlines correspond to thecrests, and the dark linescorrespond to the troughs.

    What is meant by a wavefront?

    Lines joining all the points ofthe same phase are calledwavefronts.

    The wavefronts of a transversewave and longitudinal wave areperpendicular to the directionof propagation of the waves.

    1. Plane wavefronts

    2. Circular wavefronts

    What isdamping?

    Damping is the decrease in the amplitude of an oscillating

    system when its energy is drained out as heat energy.

    The amplitude of an oscillating system will graduallydecrease and become zero when the oscillation stops.

    Whatcausesdamping?

    1. External damping of the system is the loss of energy toovercome frictional forces or air resistance.2. Internal damping is the loss of energy due to theextension and compression of the molecules in the

    system.

    Force

    Forceoscillation

    Naturalfrequency

    .. To enable an oscillating system to go on continuously,an external force must be applied to the system.

    .. The external force supplies energy to the system. Such

    a motion is called a forced oscillation

    .. The frequency of a system which oscillates freelywithout the action of an external force is called thenatural frequency.

    Resonance

    .. Resonance occurs when a system is made to oscillateat a frequency equivalent to its natural frequency by anexternal force. The resonating system oscillates at itsmaximum amplitude.

    Experimentin Bartonspendulum

    How doesresonanceoccur inthe twopendulumof equallength?

    .. The frequency of a simple pendulum depends on thelength of the pendulum... In Bartons pendulum experiment, there are manypendulums tied to the rope. Two of the pendulum are ofthe same length

    .. When pendulum Boscillates, all the otherpendulums are forced tooscillate... But pendulum D

    oscillates with the largestamplitude, ie, pendulumD resonates

  • 7/28/2019 1026882 Nota Padat Fizik F5 Waves

    13/59

    .. Pendulum B and pendulum D are of the same length.

    .. Frequency B = Frequency D

    .. Therefore, pendulum B causes pendulum D to oscillateat its natural frequency.

    Goodeffects ofresonance

    1. The tuner in a radio or television enables us to selectthe programmes we are interested. The circuit in thetuner is adjusted until resonance is achieved, at thefrequency transmitted by a particular station selected.Hence a strong electrical signal is produced.2. The loudness of music produced by musicalinstruments such as the trumpet and flute is the resultof resonance in the air.

    Bad effectsofresonance

    3. A bridge can collapse when the amplitude of itsvibration increases as a result of resonance.

    6.2 REFLECTION OF WAVES

    Reflection ofwave

    .. Occurs when a wave strikes an obstacle.

    .. The wave undergoes a change in direction ofpropagation when it is reflected... The value of frequency (f), wavelength (.) and speed (v)remain the same after reflection.

    Incident wave : the wave before it strikes theobstacle

    Reflected wave: the wave which has undergonea change in direction of propagation afterreflection.

    i = angle of incident the angle between thedirection of propagation of incident waveand the normal

    r = angle of reflection the angle between thedirection of propagation of reflected waveand the normal.

    Law of Reflection:

    The angle of incidence, i

    is equal to the angle ofreflection, r.

    6.3 REFRACTION OF WAVES

    What isRefractionof waves?

    Refraction of waves is a change in its direction as the wavespass from one medium to another. It occurs when there is adifference in the speed of the wave at the boundary of twomediums.

    Whathappens tofrequency,speed,wavelength& direction?

    After refraction, the wave has the same frequency, but a

    different speed, wavelength and direction of propagation.

    The relationship between v and .of a water wave in deep andshallow water:

    v = f. f is constant

    6.4 DIFFRACTION OF WAVES

    What isdiffraction ofwaves?

    Diffraction of waves is a phenomenon in which wavesspread out as they pass through a gap or round a smallobstacle.

    What areCharacteristicsof diffractedwaves?

    1. Frequency, wavelength and speed of waves do notchange.2. Changes in the direction of propagation and the pattern ofthe waves.3. The amplitude of the diffraction wave decreases so itsenergy decrease.

    What are thefactors thatinfluence theeffect ofdiffraction?

    The effect of diffraction is obvious if:

  • 7/28/2019 1026882 Nota Padat Fizik F5 Waves

    23/59

    1. the size of the gap or obstacle is small enough2. the wavelength is large enough.

    The effect of diffraction is obvious if the shape of thediffracted waves more spread out or more circular

    Diffractionof sound

    Sound diffractingaround corners soallowing us to hearothers who arespeaking to us fromadjacent rooms.

    Diffractionof light

    Light is diffracted if itpasses through a narrowslit comparable in size toits wavelength.

    However, the effect is notobvious as the size of theslit increases. This is

    because the wavelengthsof light are very short.

    We can hear the soundof a radio placed nearbya corner of a wall but wecannot see the radio.Why?

    Sound waves are more easily diffracted incomparison to light waves because thewavelength of sound waves is much longer thanthe wavelength of light waves.

    Procedure

    .. A ripple tank is filled with water andset up as shown.

    .. Switch on the power pack.

    .. Use a barrier to block the incidentstraight water waves. Observe thewave pattern beyond the barrier... Send a straight water waves to passthrough a gap. Observe the pattern ofdiffracted waves beyond the gap... Send straight water waves towards asmall gap. Observe the wave patternbeyond the small gap.

    Observation

    (a) Wide gap

    The waves are bend only at theedges after passing through thegap.

    The effect of diffraction is notobvious

    6.6 ANALYSING SOUND WAVES

    What issoundwaves?

    Sound is a form of energy propagated as waves that makeour eardrums vibrate.

    Sound waves are caused by vibrating objects.

    Sound waves are longitudinal waves.

    How issoundproduced bya vibrating

    objects?

    Sound waves are produced when a vibrating objectcauses the air molecules around it to vibrate.

    When a tuning fork vibrates, layers of air vibrate and thesound energy is propagated through the air around it inthe form of waves. When the tuning fork moves forwards, the air iscompressed.

    When the tuning fork moves backwards, the air layersare pulled apart and cause a rarefaction. Therefore, a series of compression and rarefactions willproduce sound.

    Why doessound wavesis alongitudinal

    waves?

    The air particles vibrate backward and forward in thedirection parallel to the direction of propagation of thesound wave. Wavelength of sound, . = the distance between twosuccessive regions of compression or two successiveregions of rarefaction.

    Explain howthe loudnessrelates toamplitude?

    The loudness of the sound depends on its amplitude. If the amplitude is increased, the loudness increases.

    Explain how

    A high pitch sound corresponds to a high frequency and

  • 7/28/2019 1026882 Nota Padat Fizik F5 Waves

    46/59

    the pitchrelates tofrequency

    a low pitch sound corresponds to a low frequency ofvibration.

    To investigate the relationship between the amplitude and the loudnessof sound

    The audio signal generator is switched on and the frequency of thesound wave is adjusted to a suitable level. The loudness of the sound isvaried from a lot to a high level gradually. Observe the shape of thesound wave displayed on the screen of oscilloscope.

Detector R receives the ultrasound (echoes)reflected by the various parts of the fetus. The soft tissues of the fetus absorb most ofthe incident ultrasound, reflect very little. Thebony parts will absorb very little, but reflectmost of the ultrasound. The reflectedultrasound will produce an image ofcontrasting brightness.

    Sonar is the technique of using ultrasound tolocate underwater objects or to measure thedepth of a seabed. Ultrasound signal is sent out from atransmitter. Its echo from the seabed is detected by areceiver which is connected to an electrical

    recording circuit. The time interval, t between the sending andreceiving of the ultrasound signal afterreflection from the seabed is measured.

    The depth of the seabed, 2tvd= where v isthe velocity of sound in water.

    When ultrasonic waves emitted by the bat hitan object, they are reflected back and receivedby the bat. The time between the emission of the soundwaves and reception of the reflected wavesenables the bat to estimate the position of theobject accurately. This enables the bat to adjust its direction to

    avoid knocking at the object.

    Calculatedistancesusing thereflection ofsound waves.

    An ultrasonic wave is used to determine the depth of a seabed. Apulse of ultrasound is generated and travels to the seabed andreflected by it. The time taken by a pulse of ultrasonic wave totravel to and fro the seabed is 0.28 s. It the speed of sound in the

    water is 1 500 ms-1, calculate the depth of the seabed.

    State thevisiblelight is apart of theelectro-magneticspectrum

    Visible light waves are the only electromagnetic waveswe can see. Light can be seen as the colours ofrainbow. Each colour has a different wavelength. Red has the longest wavelength and violet the shortest. When all the waves are seen together, they make whitelight. When white light shines through a prism, the white lightis broken apart into the seven colours of the visiblelight spectrum. Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet.

    Describethepropertiesof electro-magneticwaves

    1. They transfer energy from one point to another.2. They are transverse waves.3. They can travel through vacuum.

    4. They travel at the same speed through vacuum, i.e atthe speed of light , c = 3 x 108 ms-1.5. They all show wave properties such as reflection,refraction, diffraction and interference.6. They obey the wave equation, v = f..
