  1. L 22 – Vibration and Waves [2] • resonance • clocks – pendulum • springs • harmonic motion • mechanical waves • sound waves • musical instruments

  2. VIBRATING SYSTEMS • Mass and spring on air track • Mass hanging on spring • Pendulum • Torsional oscillator All vibrating systems have one thing in common  restoring force

  3. springs  amazing devices! the harder I pull on a spring, the harder it pulls back stretching the harder I push on a spring, the harder it pushes back compression

  4. Springs obey Hooke’s Law elastic limit of the spring spring force (N) amount ofstretchingor compressing (m) • the strength of a spring is measured by how much • force it provides for a given amountof stretch • we call this quantity k, the spring constant in N/m • magnitude ofspring force = k  amount of stretchFspring = k x

  5. X=0 x kx mg m example • A mass of 2 kg is hung from a spring that has a spring constant k = 100 N/m. By how much will it stretch? • The downward weight of the mass is balanced by the upward force of the spring. • w = mg = kx2 kg  10 m/s2 = (100 N/m)  x20 N = 100 N/m  x x = 0.2 m or 20 cm

  6. simple harmonic oscillatormass m and spring on a frictionless surface Equilibrium position frictionless surface k spring that can be stretched or compressed A A 0 k is the spring constant, which measures the stiffness of the spring in Newtons per meter

  7. Terminology • the maximum displacement of an object from equilibrium is called the AMPLITUDE A • the time that it takes to complete one full cycle (A  B  C  B  A ) is called the PERIODT of the motion • if we count the number of full cycles the oscillator completes in a given time, that is called the FREQUENCYf of the oscillator • frequency f = 1 / period = 1 / T

  8. position -A 0 +A time follow the mass – position vs. time + A - A T T T

  9. Period of the mass-spring system If the mass is quadrupled, the period is doubled Period of a pendulum of length L Does NOT depend on the mass

  10. Energy in the simple harmonic oscillator • a compressed or stretched spring has elastic potential energy • this elastic potential energy is what drives the system • if you pull the mass from equilibrium and let go, this elastic PE changes into kinetic energy. • when the mass passes the equilibrium point, the KE goes back into PE • if there is no friction the energy keeps sloshing back and forth but it never decreases

  11. Waves  moving vibrations • What is a wave?A disturbance that moves (propagates) through something • Due to the elastic nature of materials • The “wave” - people stand up then sit down, then the people next to them do the same until the standing and sitting goes all around the stadium. • the standing and sitting is the disturbance • notice that the people move up and down but the disturbance goes sideways !

  12. Why are waves important? • a mechanical wave is a disturbance that moves through a medium ( e.g. air, water, strings) •  waves carry energy  • they provide a means to transport energy from one place to another • electromagnetic waves (light, x-rays, UV rays, microwaves, thermal radiation) are disturbances that propagate through the electromagnetic field, even in vacuum (e.g. light from the Sun)

  13. Mechanical waves • a disturbance that propagates through a medium • waves on strings • waves in water • ocean waves • ripples that move outward when a stone is thrown in a pond • sound waves – pressure waves in air

  14. transverse wave on a string • jiggle the end of the string to create a disturbance • the disturbance moves down the string • as it passes, the string moves up and then down • the string motion in vertical but the wave moves in the horizontal (perpendicular) direction transverse wave • this is a single pulse wave (non-repetitive) • the “wave” in the football stadium is a transverse wave

  15. Wave speed: How fast does it go? • The speed of the wave moving to the right is not the same as the speed of the string moving up and down. (it could be, but that would be a coincidence!) • The wave speed is determined by: • the tension in the string  more tension  higher speed • the mass per unit length of the string (whether it’s a heavy rope or a light rope)  thicker rope  lower speed

  16. Harmonic waves – keep jiggling the end of the string up and down

  17. Slinky waves • you can create a longitudinalwave on a slinky • instead of jiggling the slinky up and down, you jiggle it in and out • the coils of the slinky move along the same direction (horizontal) as the wave

  18. S N the diaphragm of The speaker moves in and out SOUND WAVES • longitudinal pressure disturbances in a gas • the air molecules jiggle back and forth in the same direction as the wave • Sound waves cannot propagate in a vacuum  DEMO Patm

  19. I can’t hear you! Since sound is a disturbance in air, without air (that is, in a vacuum) there is no sound. vacuum pump

  20. Sound – a longitudinal wave

  21. The pressure waves make your eardrum vibrate • we can only hear sounds between about 30 Hz and 20,000 Hz • below 30 Hz is called infrasound • above 20,000 is called ultrasound

  22. Sound and Music • Sound pressure waves in a solid, liquid or gas • The speed of sound vs • Air at 20 C: 343 m/s = 767 mph 1/5 mile/sec • Water at 20 C: 1500 m/s • copper: 5000 m/s • Depends on density and temperature 5 second rule for thunder and lightning

  23. Why do I sound funny whenI breath helium? • Sound travels twice as fast in helium, because Helium is lighter than air • Remember the golden rule vs =    • The wavelength of the sound waves you make with your voice is fixed by the size of your mouth and throat cavity. • Since  is fixed and vs is higher in He, the frequencies of your sounds is twice as high in helium!

  24. Acoustic resonance • tuning fork resonance • shattering the glass
