Study Notes

Waves and Key Concepts in Physics

Frequency, Wavelength, and Velocity Relation: The relationship among frequency (n), wavelength (λ), and velocity (v) of a wave is given by n = v/λ.
Phase Difference and Path Difference: The relation between phase difference (Δϕ) and path difference (Δx) is defined as Δϕ = (2π/λ)Δx.
Types of Waves: Waves where particles of the medium vibrate perpendicular to the direction of wave motion are called transverse waves.
Wave Equations: For two waves represented by equations y1 = A cos(ωt) and y2 = A sin(ωt), it can be noted that y1 leads y2 by π/2 (90 degrees).
Calculating Wavelengths: For a wave with a frequency of 500 Hz traveling 600 m in 4 seconds, the number of wavelengths can be calculated. The speed of the wave is 150 m/s, indicating 2000 wavelengths in the distance.
Progressive Wave Equation: The equation y = 4 sin(π/2 (8t - x)) represents a progressive wave. Velocity can be determined from this equation as v = 32 cm/s in the positive x direction.
Displacement of a Wave: Given the equation y = 5 cos(300t - 1.5x + π/4), where x is in metres and t in seconds, the speed of the wave is calculated to be 200 m/s.
Properties of Progressive Waves: The progressive wave represented by y = 10 sin(2π( (x/8) + (t/4))) has an amplitude of 10 meters, a frequency of 1/4 Hz, and a wavelength of 8 meters.
Angular Frequency and Propagation Constant: In the standard form of wave equations, angular frequency (ω) is related to the wave's frequency, and the propagation constant (k) relates to the wave's wavelength.

Sample Questions and Answers

Wave Velocity Calculation: To find wave velocity, use v = frequency × wavelength.
Understanding Wave Types: Transverse waves differ from longitudinal waves where particles move parallel to wave motion.
Wavelength Determination: The total number of wavelengths present in a specific distance can be computed using the formula relating frequency, speed, and wavelength.
Translating Wave Functions: The derived parameters from wave functions satisfy the wave equation criteria essential for harmonic waves, reinforcing the relationship between displacement, velocity, and wave propagation.
Wave Amplitude and Shape: The amplitude influences the maximum displacement in wave functions, indicating the energy transmitted through the wave medium.
