Study Notes
Wave and its Characteristics
- Water waves can be transverse, longitudinal, or a combination of both.
- Sound waves are not polarized because they require a medium for propagation and are longitudinal.
- The time between a lightning flash and the sound of thunder can be used to calculate the distance of the flash. A thunderclap heard 5.5 seconds after a flash means the flash is 1780 meters away.
Progressive Wave
- The equation Y= 4sin (π/6(tx/8π))x, y are in centimeters. The wavelength is 18 centimeters. Amplitude is 4 cm. Velocity is 20 (cm/s). Frequency is 20Hz.
- The equation of a progressive wave can be modified with different amplitude and frequency. The equation will be y = 0.5 cos(πt – πx).
Longitudinal and Transverse Waves
- Transverse waves can only propagate in solids.
- Transverse waves can propagate in solids but not in gases.
- Transverse waves are waves that travel perpendicular to the direction of the wave.
- Longitudinal waves travel parallel to the direction of the wave.
Sound Waves
- The speed of sound in air is proportional to the square root of the atmospheric pressure.
- If the frequency of a sound wave is 300 Hz, and if the speed of another wave is 150 Hz, the speed will remain the same.
- A wave with a frequency of 500Hz travels between points X and Y. The distance between X and Y is 600 m, and the time it takes is 2 s. The number of wavelengths in the distance is 1000.
Reflection of Waves
- The distance between a man on a cliff and the point where the sound is reflected is 680 meters, given a sound velocity of 340 meters/second.
