Presentation Transcript

  1. PHYS16 – Lecture 39 Ch. 17 Sound “Since light travels faster than sound, is that why some people appear bright until you hear them speak?”

  2. Up Participation Grade • Measure the period and length of the 4 story pendulum in the stairwell… • Calculate “g” • Put in lab notebook • Email me & earn 4 points http://www.problogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2007/10/google-pendulum.jpg

  3. Energy and Power • Energy is conserved when a wave reaches a medium change • Power =Energy per time

  4. Standing Waves • Standing waves – waves that constructively interfere in a cavity and “stand” in one spot Node Antinode http://kottan-labs.bgsu.edu/teaching/workshop2001/chapter7_files/image023.gif

  5. Demo: Standing Waves on String • What happens to standing waves: • as I increase driving frequency? • as I increase the tension? • If I were to increase cavity length? http://d3.ac-videos.myspacecdn.com/videos02/102/thumb1_38a56a2f95314e179cd4dfef580b1bb6.jpg

  6. Demo: Guitar

  7. Waves post-question PhET website

  8. Waves post-question 0.0133 PhET website

  9. Waves post-question Which of the waveforms has the shortest period? A) 1st harmonic B) 2nd harmonic C) 3rd harmonic D) Superposition of 1st, 2nd, & 3rd harmonic E) Not enough information

  10. Waves post-question • A string of 0.25 kg/m is stretched to a tension of 4 N between 2 plates that are 0.5 m apart. What is the wavelength of the first harmonic in the string? • 4 m • 2 m • 1 m • 0.5 m • 0.25 m

  11. Main Points - Waves • Wave speed • If the string/medium doesn’t change then speed stays constant at: • If the cavity length doesn’t change then the wavelength for a particular harmonic is constant • If the pulse driver stays constant (me wiggling wrench) then frequency is constant
