• A wave is a rhythmic disturbance that carries energy through matter or space.

Two Categories of Waves
Mechanical Waves– A wave that requires a
medium (matter).
Electromagnetic Waves– (Coming Soon,
Chapters 16 – 19)

Types of Mechanical WavesTypes of Mechanical Waves
• Transverse–A wave that vibrates perpendicular
to the motion of the waves.

• Longitudinal–A wave that vibrates parallel to the
motion of the wave.

• Surface–A wave that is a combination of
both transverse and longitudinal waves (overall motion is circular).

• Amplitude – maximum displacement from equilibrium.– The crest (compression) is highest point of
the wave and the trough (rarefaction) is the lowest point of the wave.
• Wavelength – The distance of one complete wave cycle (oscillation).

• Frequency (f) – Number of complete oscillations in one second; measured in Hertz.
• Period (T) – The time elapsed in one complete wave cycle (oscillation).
• Wave speed (v) – The product of the wavelength and frequency or, the wavelength divided by the period.

• Reflection – the bouncing back of a wave as it encounters a boundary.
– Fixed point reflection– Free boundary reflection

• Refraction – the change in the direction of a wave as it enters a different medium.

Interference• Principle of Superposition – the
combination of two or more waves into a single wave.
– Constructive interference– Destructive interference– Standing waves (nodes & antinodes)

• Sound waves are longitudinal pressure variations that are transmitted through matter.
• Sound is produced by vibrating objects.

• Sound Level (loudness) – The amplitude of a sound wave.– Measured in decibels (dB). A 20 dB increase
equals a 10 time increase in pressure amplitude.
• Pitch– Describes the frequency of vibrations.– More vibrations = higher pitch; less vibrations
= lower pitch.

• The apparent change in the pitch of a sound as it moves towards or away from an observer
– Pitch increases as a sound moves toward an observer.
– Pitch decreases as a sound moves away from an observer.

• Closed-pipe resonators– A resonating tube (column) with one closed
end and one open end.– Minimum resonance frequencies occur at
one-fourth of the wavelength, then at half-wavelength intervals.
– Column lengths of (1/4)λ, (3/4)λ, (5/4)λ, etc., will result in resonance.

• Open-pipe resonators– A resonating tube (column) with both ends
open.– Minimum resonance frequencies occur at
one-half of the wavelength, then at half-wavelength intervals.
– Column lengths of (1/2)λ, λ, (3/2)λ, 2λ, etc., will result in resonance.

• Fundamental (f1)
– The lowest frequency of resonance.
• Harmonics– Higher frequencies that are multiples of the
fundamental frequency.
• Octave– The difference in frequency of two musical
notes with ratio of 1:2.

• Beats– Oscillations in wave amplitude.– The frequency of the beat is the magnitude of
the difference between the two frequencies.
