This oscillatory motion is transverse motion because the oscillations are at right angles to the direction of WAVES travel of the waves, which are represented diagrammatically by lines known as wave fronts. Figure shows the nature of the The idea of a wave is useful for dealing with a wide range of transverse motion and its relationship to the direction of motion of phenomena and is a one of the basic concepts of physics. A wave the wave. carries energy, but there is no transport of matter. Knowledge of wave behavior is also important for engineers. Wave may be Key point classified as mechanical or electromagnetic. Mechanical waves are produced by a disturbance (i.e. a vibrating body) in a Transverse waves oscillate at right angles to the direction of travel mechanical medium and are transmitted by the particles of the of the wave motion. medium oscillating to and fro. Such waves can be felt and include waves on a spring, water waves, and sound waves. Many of the properties of mechanical waves can be shown using water waves in a ripple tank. TRANSVERSE WAVES Fig. 5.1 Transverse waves, where the vibratory motion is at right angles to the direction of movement of the wave and longitudinal waves where particles oscillate (stretch and compress) in the same Direction as the wave travels. If a cork is placed into a still pond and Longitudinal wave then a pebble is dropped into the center of the pond, ripples start to spread out from the source of the disturbance, i.e. where we dropped the pebble, at the same time the cork will bob up and down, these actions are as a result of the energy created by transverse wave motion. The cork does not move in the direction of travel of the Fig. 5.2 wave fronts (ripples) that travel outwards from the center, but it does oscillate about the mid-position of the still water, prior to the disturbance. We know that the waves are Compression and rarefaction progressive (moving) because, e.g. sea waves break on the shore, you However instead of crests and troughs, longitudinal waves can see the wave front traveling towards you!

The particles at the nodes are permanently at rest but other particles attain their position of momentary rest simultaneously. All the particles attain their own maximum velocity at the same time when they pass through their mean positions. In the case of a longitudinal stationary wave the variation of density is different at different points being maximum at the nodes and zero at the antinodes. Energy is not transported across any plane. Fig. 5.3 Compressions and rarefactions on a longitudinal wave. PROGRESSIVE WAVES AND STATIONARY WAVES Progressive waves: The disturbance produced in the medium travels onward, it being handed over from one particle to the next. Each particle executes the same type of vibration as the preceding one, though not at the same time. The amplitude of each particle is TIAT 2.5 5- 5  THAKUR INSTITUTE OF AVIATION TECHNOLOGY The period (T) of a wave is the time required for one complete wave to pass a given point.

The human ear has a nonlinear response pattern, and units of sound measurement are used that vary logarithmically with the amplitude of the sound variations. These units are the "bel" and "decibel," which refer to the difference be tween sounds of unequal intensity or sound Fig. 5.7 levels. The decibel, which is one-tenth of a bel, is the minimum change of sound level perceptible to the human ear. Hence, the decibel merely de scribes the ratio of two sound levels. For  Constructive Interference example, S decibels may represent almost any volume of sound, depending on the intensity of the reference level or the sound level This type of interference is sometimes called constructive on which the ratio is based. interference. Constructive interference is a type of interference that occurs at any location along the medium where the two INTERFERENCE interfering waves have a displacement in the same direction. In this case, both waves have an upward displacement; consequently, Wave interference is the phenomenon that occurs when two the medium has an upward displacement that is greater than the waves meet while traveling along the same medium.

NOISE-CANCELLING HEADPHONES In theory, the idea of noise-canceling headphones is quite simple once one understands the basics of sound waves. The simplest way to understand the mechanism behind noise-canceling headphones is to imagine a transverse sinusoidal sound wave at a Fig. 5.8 single frequency. In this case, a sine pulse with a maximum displacement of -1 unit (negative means a downward displacement) interferes with a sine The principle of superposition tells us that, given an arbitrary pulse with a maximum displacement of -1 unit. These two pulses number of waves, we can sum them up at the same position and are drawn in red and blue. The resulting shape of the medium is a time to obtain a new wave. sine pulse with a maximum displacement of -2 units. this simple idea turns out to be the only tool we need to develop the theory behind noise-cancellation. Since we want to cancel  Destructive Interference incoming sound, our goal is to create our own “noise” that can Destructive interference is a type of interference that occurs at produce destructive interference with the noise coming from the any location along the medium where the two interfering waves environment. This is the same idea as above, except this time we have a displacement in the opposite direction. For instance, when have a specific end-result in mind: a waveform that is as close to a sine pulse with a maximum displacement of +1 unit meets a sine zero amplitude as possible, minimizing the sound intensity we pulse with a maximum displacement of -1 unit, destructive hear. interference occurs. This is depicted in the diagram below Notice that destructive interference occurs when a wave interferes with its exact inverted self. Hence, the design becomes clear. All we need is a way to capture the noise from the outside, invert the signal and output it in time such that we can match the crests of the original wave to the troughs of the inverted wave. For this, we require a microphone that can convert the noise outside into the form of an audio signal and circuitry that will invert the signal and Fig. 5.9 output it through the headphones, illustrated in Fig. 5. 10 TIAT 2.5 5- 9 THAKUR INSTITUTE OF AVIATION TECHNOLOGY Fig. 5.11 Fig. 5.10 BEAT When two sound of different frequency approach your ear, the alternate constructive and destructive interference causes the sound to be alternatively soft and loud- a phenomenon which is called beating or produce beats. The beat frequency is equal to the absolute value of difference in frequency of two waves. Arising from simple interference, the applications of beats are extremely far ranging. Fig. 5.12 REFLECTED WAVE: TIAT 2.5 5- 10 THAKUR INSTITUTE OF AVIATION TECHNOLOGY Let us look in more detail at how to set up standing waves.

Assume that the wave consists of one and a half wavelengths. added together subject to this condition, a stationary wave is The wave travels along the slinky until it reaches the far end. set up in the string. If the string is plucked centrally we get the fundamental mode (shape of wave). In this case, the string At this point, the wave can travel no further forwards and is vibrates with maximum displacement at the central position reflected back. This means that the velocity has changed sign. In (called the antinode) and the displacement falls away to zero at addition, the phase of the wave has changed. If the displacement the two ends (called nodes. When a string on an instrument is of the forward wave is upwards at the instant of time when it plucked, vibrations, that is, waves travel back and forth through reaches the far end, then its displacement is downwards on the medium being reflected at each fixed end. Certain sized waves reflection. This makes sense. At the fixed end, the displacement can survive on the medium. These certain sized waves will not of the incoming and outgoing waves sum to zero. This must be so cancel each other out as they reflect back upon themselves. These because there can be no displacement of the string at the fixed certain sized waves are called the harmonics of the vibration. point. The reflected wave is out of phase by it. It passes back They are standing waves. That is, they produce patterns which do 'through' the forward wave (think how ripples can pass through not move. each other on the surface of a pond). Where the two waves overlap, the displacement of the slinky is the sum of the two On a medium such as a violin string several harmonically related waves. But, eventually, we see the reflected wave emerge standing wave patterns are possible. The first four of them are complete and pass back along the slinky. illustrated above. It is important to understand that for anyone given medium fixed at each end only certain sized waves can The frequency, velocity and wavelength of the wave all remain stand. We say, therefore, that the medium is tuned. the same in reflection. If no energy is lost at the far end, the amplitude of the reflected wave equals that of the incoming The first pattern has the longest wavelength and is called the first one. The phase difference of n is crucial to the setting up of harmonic. It is also called the fundamental. standing waves. The second pattern, or second harmonic, has half the wavelength and When waves pass through each other, the displacement at any twice the frequency of the first harmonic.

THE DOPPLER EFFECT described in the above paragraph. The Doppler Effect (or Doppler shift) is the change Depending upon how the string is plucked or bowed, different in frequency of a wave (or other periodic event) for harmonics can be emphasized. In the above animation all an observer moving relative to its source.

It is the upper harmonic structure that determines the timber of the instrument. When the source of the waves is moving toward the observer, each successive wave crest is emitted from a position closer to the 10. SUPERSONIC SPEED AND MACH NUMBER observer than the previous wave. Therefore, each wave takes slightly less time to reach the observer than the previous wave.

The term "Mach While they are travelling, the distance between successive wave number" has been given to the ratio of the speed of an fronts is reduced, so the waves "bunch together". Conversely, if aircraft to the speed of sound, in honor of Ernst Mach, an the source of waves is moving away from the observer, each wave Austrian scientist. is emitted from a position farther from the observer than the previous wave, so the arrival time between successive waves is Thus, if the speed of sound at sea level is 750miles per hour, increased, reducing the frequency. The distance between an aircraft flying at a speed of 1650 m.p.h TIAT 2.5 5- 12 THAKUR INSTITUTE OF AVIATION TECHNOLOGY successive wave fronts is then increased, so the waves "spread out". For waves that propagate in a medium, such as sound waves, the velocities of the observer and of the source are relative to the medium in which the waves are transmitted. The total Doppler Effect may therefore result from motion of the source, motion of the observer, or motion of the medium. Each of these effects is analyzed separately. For waves which do not require a medium, such as light or gravity in general relativity, only the relative difference in velocity between the observer and the source needs to be considered.
