Speed does not depend on the size or shape of the wave.Examples: Sound waves (air moves locally back & forth) Stadium waves (people move up & down) Water waves (water moves up & down) Light waves (an oscillating electromagnetic field)Physics 207: Lecture 27, Pg 5Wave GraphsThe displacement D of a wave is a function of both position (where) and time (when).A snapshot graph shows the wave’s displacement as a function of position at a single instant of time.A history graph shows the wave’s displacement as a function of time at a single point in space.The displacement, D, is a function of two variables, x and t, or D(x,t)Physics 207: Lecture 27, Pg 6Wave SpeedSpeed of a transverse, mechanical wave on a string: where Ts is the string tension and is linear string densitySpeed of sound (longitudinal mechanical wave) in air at 20°Cv = 343 m / sSpeed of light (transverse, EM wave) in vacuum: c = 3x108 m/sSpeed of light (transverse, EM wave) in a medium: v = c / nwhere n = index of refraction of the medium (typically 1 to 4)property inertialproperty elasticv sTvLmPhysics 207: Lecture 27, Pg 7Wave FormsSo far we have examined “continuous waves” that go on forever in each direction !v v We can also have “pulses” caused by a brief disturbanceof the medium:v And “pulse trains” which aresomewhere in between.Physics 207: Lecture 27, Pg 8Continuous Sinusoidal WaveWavelength: The distance between identical points on the wave.Amplitude: The maximum displacement A of a point on the wave.AnimationWavelengthAPhysics 207: Lecture 27, Pg 9Wave Properties...Period: The time T for a point on the wave to undergo one complete oscillation.Speed: The wave moves one wavelength in one period T so its speed is v = / T.fTvAnimationPhysics 207: Lecture 27, Pg 10Exercise Wave MotionThe speed of sound in air is a bit over 300 m/s, and the speed of light in air is about 300,000,000 m/s.
