  1. -Waves at Boundaries-Reflection -Interference of Waves Physics Mrs. Coyle Coyle, Greece, 2009, Island of Antipaxos

  2. How is the speed of a wave affected when a wave enters from one medium to another? • The speed depends on the medium. • It does not depend on frequency and amplitude. • It remains constant in a given medium at the same conditions. • When a wave enters a different medium, its speed changes but its frequency remains the same.

  3. Speed of a Wave, v =lf • For a given medium, v=constant.

  4. What does a high or low amplitude indicate? Low Amplitude High Amplitude

  5. What happens when a wave reaches a boundary? • Part of the incident wave is transmitted and part of it is reflected.

  6. Pulse travelling from less dense to more dense medium. • What happens to the pulse at the interface? http://www.dacc.edu/~qchen/P102/labs/LAB5.HTM

  7. Reflection of a Pulse from a Fixed End What is the direction of the reflected pulse? http://www.dacc.edu/~qchen/P102/labs/LAB5.HTM

  8. Reflection of a Wave from a Fixed End: the pulse returns inverted http://openlearn.open.ac.uk/file.php/3524/TA212_2_008i.jpg

  9. Reflection of a Pulse from a Free End What is the direction of the reflected pulse? http://www.dacc.edu/~qchen/P102/labs/LAB5.HTM

  11. Interference • When two pulses pass the same point at the same time the waves superimpose either constructively or destructively. • Constructive Interference • Destructive Interference

  12. Constructive Interference: resulting wave has a greater amplitude.

  13. Destructive Interference: Resulting wave has a smaller amplitude.

  14. The displacements are added algebraically at the given point in time.
