11.1 Simple Harmonic Motion
Vibration and Waves
11.1 Simple Harmonic Motion
Periodic motion – when an object vibrates over the same pathway, with each vibration taking the same amount of time
Equilibrium position – the
position of the mass when
no force is exerted on it
11.1
11.1 Simple Harmonic Motion
If the spring is stretched from equilibrium, a force acts so the object is pushed back toward equilibrium
Restoring Force
Proportional to the
displacement (x)
Called Hooke’s Law
11.1
F kx
11.1 Simple Harmonic Motion
Any vibrating system for which the restoring force is directly proportional to the negative of the displacement (F = -kx) exhibits Simple Harmonic Motion (SHM)
11.1 Simple Harmonic Motion
Amplitude (A) – maximum distance from equilibrium
Period (T) – time for one
complete cycle
Frequency (f) – number
of vibrations per
second

A vertical spring follows the same
pattern
The equilibrium positions is just
shifted by gravity

11.2 Energy in a Simple Harmonic Oscillator
Review – energy of a spring
So the total mechanical energy of a spring (assuming no energy loss) is
At maximum amplitude then
So E is proportional to the square of the amplitude

11.3 The Period and Sinusoidal Nature of SHM
Vibration and Waves
11.3 The Period and Sinusoidal Nature of SHM
The Period of an object undergoing SHM is independent of the amplitude
Imagine an object traveling in a circular pathway
If we look at the motion in
just the x axis, the
motion is analogous
to SHM
11.3
11.3 The Period and Sinusoidal Nature of SHM
As the ball moves the displacement in the x changes
The radius is the amplitude
The velocity is tangent to the
circle
Now looking at Components
If we put the angles into the
triangle, we can see
similar triangles11.3

11.3 The Period and Sinusoidal Nature of SHM
So the opposite/hypotenuse is a constant
This can be rewritten
This is the same as the

an object in SHM11.3

11.3 The Period and Sinusoidal Nature of SHM
The period would be the time for one complete revolution
The radius is the same as
the amplitude, and the
time for one revolution
is the period11.3

11.4 The Simple Pendulum
Vibration and Waves
11.4 The Simple Pendulum
Simple Pendulum – mass
suspended from a cord
Cord is massless (or very
small)
Mass is concentrated in small volume
11.4
11.4 The Simple Pendulum
Looking at a diagram of a pendulum
Two forces act on the it
1. Weight
2. Tension
The motion of the bob is at a
tangent to the arc

11.4 The Simple Pendulum
The displacement of the bob is given by x

11.5 Damped Harmonic Motion
Vibration and Waves
11.5 Damped Harmonic Motion
The amplitude of a real oscillating object will decrease with time – called damping
Underdamped – takes several swing before coming to rest (above)
11.5
11.5 Damped Harmonic Motion
Overdamped – takes a long time to reach equilibrium
Critical damping – equalibrium reached in the shortest time

Vibration and Waves
11.6 Forced Vibrations; Resonance
Natural Frequency – depends on the variables (m,k or L,g) of the object
Forced Vibrations –
caused by an
external force
11.6
11.6 Forced Vibrations; Resonance
Resonant Frequency – the natural vibrating frequency of a system
Resonance – when the external frequency is near the natural frequency and damping is small

11.7 Wave Motion
Vibration and Waves
11.7 Wave Motion
Mechanical Waves – travels through a medium
The wave travels through the medium, but the medium undergoes simple harmonic motion
Wave motion
Particle motion
11.7
11.7 Wave Motion
Waves transfer energy, not
particles
A single bump of a wave is called a pulse
A wave is formed when a force is applied to one end
Each successive particle is moved by the one next to it

11.7 Wave Motion
Longitudinal (Compressional) Wave
Particles move
parallel to the
direction of wave motion
Rarefaction – where
particles are spread
out
Compression – particles
are close11.7

11.11 Reflection and Transmission of Waves
Vibration and Waves
11.11 Reflection and Transmission of Waves
When a wave comes to a
boundary (change in
medium) at least some of
the wave is reflected
The type of reflection depends
on if the boundary is fixed
(hard) - inverted
11.11
11.11 Reflection and Transmission of Waves
When a wave comes to a
boundary (change in
medium) at least some of
the wave is reflected
Or movable (soft) – in phase
11.11
11.11 Reflection and Transmission of Waves
For two or three dimensional we think in terms of wave fronts
A line drawn perpendicular to the wave front is called a ray
When the waves get far from their source and are nearly straight, they are called plane waves
11.11
11.11 Reflection and Transmission of Waves
Law of Reflection – the angle of reflection equals the angle of incidence
Angles are always measured from
the normal

11.12 Interference; Principle of Superposition
Vibration and Waves
11.12 Interference; Principle of Superposition
Interference – two waves pass through the same region of space at the same time
The waves pass through each other
Principle of Superposition – at the point where the waves meet the displacement of the medium is the algebraic sum of their separate displacements
11.12
11.12 Interference; Principle of Superposition
Phase – relative position of the wave crests
If the two waves are “in phase”
Constructive interference
If the two waves are “out of phase”
Destructive Interference
11.12
11.12 Interference; Principle of Superposition
For a wave (instead of a single phase)
Interference is
calculated by adding
amplitude
In real time this looks
like

11.13 Standing Waves; Resonance
Vibration and Waves
11.13 Standing Waves; Resonance
In a specific case of interference a standing wave is produced
The areas with complete constructive interference are called loops or antinodes (AN)
The areas with complete destructive interference are called nodes (N)
11.13
11.13 Standing Waves; Resonance
Standing waves occur at the natural or resonant frequency of the medium
In this case, called the first harmonic, the wavelength is twice the length of the medium
The frequency of is called the fundamental frequency

11.13 Standing Waves; Resonance
The second harmonic is the next standing wave formed
Then the third harmonic would be

11.13 Standing Waves; Resonance
The basic form for the wavelength
of harmonics is
Each resonant frequency, is an integer multiple of the fundamental frequency
Overtone – all the frequencies above the fundamental
The first overtone is the second harmonic
