Reading Quiz As discussed in the reading assignment, a
“beat” is:a. A periodic change in amplitude of a waveb. Interference between overtonesc. The first Fourier component of a waved. The reflection of a wave from a rigid
Wait… is beat frequency 0.5 rad/s or is it 1 rad/s? (class poll)
Can be proved with trig identities
Review: Wave packets HW 17-5
Review of wave packets, cont.
What did we learn?a. To localize a wave in space, you need lots of
frequenciesb. To remove neighboring localized waves, you
need those frequencies to spaced close to each other. (infinitely close, really)
Review: How did I create this?

Uncertainty in x = ______ Uncertainty in k = ______

2x k In general: (and technically,
= std dev)
The “Uncertainty Principle” from quantum mechanics (if you know exactly where a particle is, you can’t know exactly what its momentum is, and vice versa) is a result of the xk equation just discussed.

Transforms A “transform” is: a one-to-one correspondence
between one function and another function (or between a function and a set of numbers).
a. If you know one, you can find the other.b. The two can provide complementary info.
Example: ex = 1 + x + x2/2! + x3/3! + x4/4! + …a. If you know the function (ex), you can find the
Taylor’s series coefficients.b. If you have the Taylor’s series coefficients (1, 1,
1/2!, 1/3!, 1/4!, …), you can re-create the function. The first number tells you how much of the x0 term there is, the second tells you how much of the x1 term there is, etc.
c. Why Taylor’s series? Sometimes they are useful.
“Fourier” transform The coefficients of the transform give
information about what frequencies are present
Example: a. my car stereob. my computer’s music playerc. your ear (so I’ve been told)
Fourier Transform
Do the transform (or have a computer do it)
Answer from computer: “There are several components at different values of k; all are multiples of k=0.01.
