C-Notes & Equation Practice! Monday, 01/27/14
Mechanical Waves Equations • Use your Mini-Books for reference • Create a sample wave on your C-Notes and label all components. • Identify each component of the waveform • Solve the sample questions using wave equations.
Y-axis= displacement, the distance of a particle from its equilibrium position • X-axis can represent either time or distance from a specified point within the medium. A displacement-time graph shows the displacement of one particle of the medium as time goes by. A displacement-distance graph shows the displacement of all particles of the medium at one instant in time. • A= amplitude, the maximum displacement from equilibrium of any particle • Crestand trough are the points of maximum displacement from equilibrium above and below equilibrium position respectively. • λ = wavelength, the distance between two consecutive identical points on the wave eg between two crests or two troughs. • Frequency = equals the number of waves that passes a given point per second. • v= velocity, the speed with which the energy is being transferred in the direction of motion.
