Interference

Interference. Interference of Waves. When waves arrive at the same place at the same time, interference occurs. Constructive interference . - When identical parts of a wave overlap Ex: crest/crest, compression/compression Build on each other Also called reinforcement or In Phase.

  1. Interference

  2. Interference of Waves When waves arrive at the same place at the same time, interference occurs

  3. Constructive interference - When identical parts of a wave overlap Ex: crest/crest, compression/compression • Build on each other • Also called reinforcement or In Phase

  4. Destructive interference -when the opposite parts of a wave overlap • Cancel each other out • Crest/trough, compression/rarefaction • Also called out of phase

  5. Unit 6 Waves/Sound • Resonance – when the frequency of a forced vibration on an object matches the natural frequency of that object. • Beats – effect that results when 2 tones of slightly different frequencies are sounded together. • Some overlap (louder) and some cancel (softer)

  6. Beats 440 Hz 445 Hz Beats

  7. Resonance

  8. One Result of Superposition • Standing Wave: two waves travelling in opposite directions with the same wavelength and frequency

  9. Standing Waves • The boundary conditions and speed of waves determine which frequencies are allowed. • The ends of the resonant cavity have forced nodes or antinodes

  10. Closed at One End L Node Antinode
