Simple Harmonic Oscillators• An object in simple harmonic motion experiences a

net force which obeys Hooke’s Law• The oscillator oscillates about an equilibrium

position (or mean position) between two extreme positions of maximum displacement in a periodic manner– Periodic means regular (same every time) and repeating

Vocabulary• Period (T):

– The time for one oscillation– Measured in Seconds– Period = Time/number of oscillations

• Frequency (f)– The number of oscillations in one second– Measured in Hertz; Hz (1/s or s-1)– Frequency = Number of oscillations/time

• Waves are repetitive disturbances that transfer ENERGY without transferring MATTER – energy transferred without matter being transfered

• Mechanical Waves require a medium to travel through.• Mediums include; water, air, anything solid• SOUND is a mechanical wave • "the wave"

• Electromagnetic Waves do not require a medium to travel through. They can travel through a vacuum (empty space)

• Empty space exists outside of Earth’s atmosphere• LIGHT, Xrays, Radio Waves are all examples of electromagnetic

waves• electromagnetic waves

Waves

• ALL electromagnetic waves travel at the speed of light!– c is the symbol for the constant “speed of light”– c is always equal to 3x108 m/s when electromagnetic

waves are traveling through a vacuum.• This speed can be decreased by sending light through a

different medium• Nothing can ever travel faster than the speed of light.• Visible light is the same type of wave as a radio wave, an Xray,

or a microwave. Its just a different size!• electromagnetic spectrum

Two Classes of WavesTransverse Waves

The particles vibrate in a direction that is perpendicular to the waves propagation (direction of travel)

Longitudinal WavesThe particles vibrate in a

direction that is parallel to the waves propagation

(aka compression waves)

Parts of a WaveCrest: the top-most part of a wave

Trough: the bottom-most part of a wave

Amplitude: the distance from the equilibrium line to the crest or to the trough (measure in meters)

Wavelength (λ): the distance between two similar points on a

wave (measured in meters)

Wave PulseOne single Vibration or disturbance- The amplitude of SOUND ONLY tells you about the energy in the wave

QUIZ ON THEM TOMORROW!

Do NOW!Make a compare and contrast list of

everything you know about sound waves and light waves

Sound Waves vs. Light Waves

Sound Waves

• Mechanical Wave• Longitudinal wave• Amplitude tells you about

volume• Frequency tells you about pitch• The speed of sound in air is

about 330m/s• Sound travels faster in most

solids than it does in air

Light Waves

• Electromagnetic wave• Transverse wave• Amplitude tells you about

intensity/brightness• Frequency tells you about type

of wave/color• The speed of light in air is

3x108m/s• Light slows down in solids

• You are standing on a dock and observe 15 waves pass you in 1 minute.– What is the frequency of the waves?– What is the period of the wave?

• What is the difference between a mechanical and electromagnetic wave?

• What is the difference between a transverse and longitudinal wave?

Recall…

standing wave• A wave that appears to be “standing still” and not moving either

left or right.- Particles seem to vibrate up and down

• In order to create a standing wave, you need- Two waves, moving in opposite directions, with the same

amplitude and frequency

Nodes: points that don’t moveAntinodes: points that move the most

Measuring Parameters of a Wave

• Goal: we are going to use a standing wave to measure and investigate the affect of the amplitude, frequency, period, and wavelength on the speed of a transverse wave.

• Prediction: Which of the four parameters do you think will affect the speed of the wave and why.

• Background: in a paragraph, please define all bolded words above.

• Diagram: Draw a diagram of a transverse wave and label all the parts of the wave.

• Materials– Slinky, stopwatch, meter stick

• Procedure– Measure 4m length across the floor and a 0.5m and 1m

amplitude.– Have one person hold one end of the slinky still while having

the other person generate a half wavelength standing wave with a 0.5m amplitude

– Have 10 classmates time 20 complete oscillations of the wave.– Calculate the period, frequency and wave length for this trail

and enter the numbers into the data table.– Repeat for a 1m amplitude then for 1 wave, 1.5 waves, 2

waves, 2.5 waves and possibly 3 waves.– Using the data table, try to determine how you would calculate

the speed of the wave.– Once the speed for each wave is calculated, determine which

parameters affect the speed of the wave and which don’t.

Do Now:Describe what you heard and explain it in

terms of reflection

AIM:What is Reflection?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kVzTWDwQzrc&feature=related

Wave Behavior

s

3 Options• When a wave hits a

boundary, it does a combination of 3 things– Reflection

• Bounces off the boundary

– Absorption • Gets absorbed and turned

into heat

– Transmission• Goes through the

boundary

The transm

ission of the lights

on the inside of the building

The reflection of the lights coming off the car on the outside of the building

Law of ReflectionHow to draw the diagram

• The Law of Reflection states– Angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection

ϴi ϴr

Normal Line: A reference line always drawn perpendicular to the surface USE A PROTRACTOR!!!!

Angle of incidence ϴi: angle made between the incident ray and the normal line

Incidence Ray: The light ray on the way INTO the surface

Reflected Ray: The light ray on the way AWAY FROM the surface

Angle of Reflection ϴr: angle made between the reflected ray and the normal line

Reflection of Light• The bouncing of a wave off of a surface .

– Regular reflection• Bouncing off of a Smooth surface

– Mirrors, ponds– You can see an image of the object

– Diffuse Reflection• Bouncing off of a Rough surface

– The road, leaves, furniture, cloths– You can see light, but no image

Reflection of sound• The bouncing of a wave off of a surface.

– Regular reflection• Bouncing off of a Smooth surface• ECHOs

If the speed of sound in water is 1.5Km/s and the signal takes 0.8 seconds to come back to the boat, HOW DEEP IS THE WATER?

Reflection LabGoals:1. To draw a 2-ray diagram of a single pin image

a. Use this diagram to compare the incident angles to the reflected angle

- Use percent difference to determine if the object distance is the same as the image distance

b. Use this diagram to compare image distance to object distance

- Use percent difference to determine if the object distance is the same as the image distance

1. Draw a line down the middle of the page, perpendicular to the edge of the page

2. Prop the mirror up against the book with the BACK surface of the mirror on your mirror line. Make sure

the cardboard is under the paper

3. Stick the pin in the middle of the page

4. Look in the mirror from the angle and locate the image of the pin in the mirror

Image of the pin

5. Line up the edge of the ruler such that if extended into the mirror, it would run straight into the pin. Trace that line

6. Repeat step 5 from the other side

7. Extend the reflected rays back to the mirror8. Draw a line connecting the object to the place on

the mirror where the reflected rays hit

9. Trace the VIRTUAL rays back behind the mirror. The image appears where the rays meet

10. Use a protractor to construct the normal perpendicular to the mirror at the point where the rays hit the mirror.

11. Measure both incident and reflected rays and compare them using a percent difference

12. Label and measure the object distance and the image distance. Using percent difference, compare

these two numbers

Goals Continued2. To draw a 2-ray diagram of a single pin image

a. Use this diagram to compare the incident angles to the reflected angle

- Use percent difference to determine if the object distance is the same as the image distance

b. Use this diagram to compare image size to object size

- Measure the length of each side of the image and the object.

- Use percent difference to determine if the object distance is the same as the image distance

When light rays from an object are incident upon an opaque, rough-textured surface, no reflected image of the object can be seen. This phenomenon occurs because of1. regular reflection2. diffuse reflection 3. reflected angles not being equal to incident angles 4. reflected angles not being equal to refracted angles

A typical microwave oven produces radiation at a frequency of 1.0 × 1010 hertz. What is the wavelength of this microwave radiation?1. 3.0 × 10-1 m2. 3.0 × 10-2 m3. 3.0 × 1010 m4. 3.0 × 1018 m

At the instant shown, a cork at point P on the water's surface is moving towardA B C D

Electromagnetic radiation would be classified as 1. a torsional wave 2. a longitudinal wave 3. a transverse wave 4. an elliptical wave

pool.– Produce circular waves

Plane Source• An extended (rectangular)

source that oscillates.– Produce plane waves

Diffraction• Diffraction is the bending of

a wave around a barrier– Consider a door cracked

open, what shape does the light make?

• If it didn’t bend, it would be a straight column

• As you can see the light ‘fans out’ after it passes through the barrier

passes from one medium to the other?

3. Offer an explanation as to WHY you are seeing what you see.

HW: Blue Book Review for test- all of waves up to diffraction: pg

Aim: What is refraction and how do we use it in every day life?

Refraction• Refraction is the BENDING of a wave as is travels

from one medium to another.• Remember: a wave changes speed when it moves

from one medium to another.

Index of Refraction• The index of refraction is similar to the coefficient of

friction.– It tells you how easily (quickly) light travels through a

substance– It has no units– The symbol for index of refraction is n– The formula for the index of refraction is

– c is the speed of light in a vacuum (3x108m/s)– v is the speed of light in the other medium.– The index of refraction is ALWAYS GREATER THAN ONE!
