  3. PHY138-Y1Y Year-Long Plan

  4. Waves Quarter To-Do List • Pre-class quizzes on www.masteringphysics.com before Mondays at 10:00 AM. (4 of them) • Electronic Problem Sets on www.masteringphysics.com before Fridays at 11:59 PM. (3 of them) • The team written problem set due Nov. 24. Please show up in tutorial this week to be assigned to a new team. • The test on Tue. Dec. 5 at 6:00 PM on Waves Quarter Lecture Material and Fall Lab Work.

  5. Waves are everywhere!

  6. Sound Waves result from periodic oscillations of air molecules, which collide with their neighbours and create a disturbance which moves at the speed of sound.

  7. Electric and Magnetic fields, when oscillated, can create waves which carry energy. At the right frequency, we see electromagnetic waves as Light.

  8. Knight Chapter 14: “Oscillations” • Waves are caused by oscillations, and they travel through media that have some natural ability to oscillate. • This week’s reading assignment from the text by Knight is: Chapter 14, Sections 14.1-14.8 • Suggested Chapter 14 Exercises and Problems for Study and Practice: 13, 17, 23, 33, 51, 55, (77)

  9. Some oscillations are not sinusoidal:

  10. Sinusoidal oscillations= Simple Harmonic Motion (SHM)

  11. equilibrium

  12. K.E., Potential Energy and Total Mechanical Energy for SHM.
