  10. Standing Waves on Strings • “When two waves of the same speed and wavelength and equal, or almost equal, amplitudes travelling in opposite directions meet, a standing wave is formed.” • “This wave is the result of the superposition of the two waves travelling in opposite directions.”

  11. Standing Waves on Strings • Difference between standing and traveling waves • No energy or momentum is transferred in a standing wave • Standing wave has points where the displacement is always zero (nodes) • Points of maximum displacement are called antinodes

  12. Standing Waves on Strings • A standing wave with a single antinode is known as a fundamental standing wave • When the string is in the stretched position, all of its energy is potential energy • When the string is in its unstretched position, all the energy is kinetic energy

  13. Standing Waves on Strings • In this picture, there is one-half of one wavelength depicted • Therefore, the wavelength is:

  14. Standing Waves on Strings • This picture also depicts a standing wave, with one entire wavelength between the ends • The string has three nodes and two antinodes • The wavelength is:

  15. Standing Waves on Strings • This standing wave has four nodes and three antinodes • The wavelength is:

  16. Standing Waves on Strings • A general formula for finding the wavelength of a string with both ends fixed is: • n is called the mode and n = 1 is call the fundamental mode or first harmonic of the string

  17. Standing Waves on Strings • There is a frequency associated with the fundamental mode called, coincidentally, the fundamental frequency (f0) • All other harmonics will have frequencies that are integral multiples of f0

  18. Standing Waves on Strings • Note that the smallest frequency is associated with the fundamental mode (largest wavelength)

  19. Standing Waves on Strings • All points between two consecutive nodes move in the same direction • Particles between adjacent nodes move in the opposite direction

  20. Fun With PhET

  21. Standing Waves on Strings • String with one end fixed, one end free

  22. Standing Waves on Strings • String with one end fixed, one end free

  23. Fun With PhET

  24. Standing Waves on Strings • String with both ends free

  25. Standing Waves on Strings • String with both ends free, general formula

  26. Fun With PhET

  27. Standing Waves on Strings • No need to memorize formulas • Distance between successive nodes or antinodes is a half wavelength • Distance between a node and adjacent antinode is a quarter wavelength

  28. Standing Waves in Tubes • Same as waves on a string • Open end – string free - antinode • Closed end – string fixed - node

  29. Standing Waves in Tubes • General Principle: • As the length of the tube gets smaller the wavelength for each harmonic gets smaller • Assuming constant wave speed (like sound), the smaller the wavelength, the higher the frequency • Think of the sound made when filling up a bottle of water

  30. Resonance • Resonance occurs whenever a system that is capable of oscillation or vibration is subjected to an external disturbance with a frequency equal to the natural frequency of the system itself • In that case, the amplitude of the oscillations will increase • If the frequencies don’t match, the amplitude is smaller or cyclical

  31. Resonance • Examples of resonance • Unbalanced tire • Ceiling fan • Rubbing a finger over the top of a glass • Buildings in earthquakes • Height of the building determines its natural frequency

  32. Resonance and Forced Oksilations
