    Physics Vibrations and Waves: Wave That Follows Behind The Plane in A Cone

    Uploaded by

    Jeyser T. Gamutia
    Vibrations and waves can transfer energy without transferring mass. A pendulum undergoes simple harmonic motion where its position over time forms a sine curve. Waves have properties like amplitude, wavelength, frequency and speed. Transverse waves vibrate perpendicular to travel while longitudinal waves vibrate along the direction of travel. When waves constructively or destructively interfere, their amplitudes combine. Standing waves form when an incident wave interferes with its reflection. The Doppler effect changes the observed frequency of sound based on the motion of its source and detector.

    PHYSICS reflect back off of that boundary.

    The incident wave will


    form an interference pattern with the reflected wave,
    Vibrations and Waves and if the wavelength of the wave is just right then
    what is known as a standing wave will be formed where
    Vibration of a Pendulum the entire medium will appear to vibrate together.
    If you place a heavy object on the end of a light string
    and allow it to swing back and forth then you have a If the source and detector of a sound are moving
    simple pendulum. toward or away from each other the frequency of the

    known as the period (T) of the pendulum. A long they move toward each other the frequency observed
    pendulum will have a long period, a shorter pendulum will be higher than they are at rest, if they move away
    will have a shorter period. from each other than the observed frequency will be
    lower. This is known as the Doppler effect.
    The back and forth motion of a pendulum is called
    simple harmonic motion. If the position of an object in The three-dimensional version of a bow wave comes
    simple harmonic motion is graphed with respect to time from a very fast plane moving through the air. Rather
    the result will be a sine curve. A sine curve has certain than a flat ’v’ on the surface of a lake a plane moving
    faster than the speed of sound will produce a shock
    parts to it that correspond to the parts of wave motion, wave that follows behind the plane in a cone.
    these are the crests and troughs (the highest and
    lowest points on the wave), the amplitude (A, the
    distance from the center to the extreme points in the
    oscillation), and the wavelength (the distance between
    any two adjacent corresponding parts of waves, such as
    one crest to the next or one trough to the next).

    The number of vibrations that happen per second is


    called the frequency (f) of the oscillation, this is
    measured in Hertz
    (Hz) or inverse seconds (s−1).
    The relationship between period and frequency is an
    inverse one, so f = 1/T and T = 1/f.

    A wave is a mechanism to transfer energy without


    transferring mass. The speed of a wave (v) depends on
    the medium through which the wave moves.
    Since the frequency of a wave is the number of full
    waves that pass a point in one second and the
    wavelength is how long each of those waves is the
    speed of the wave is given by v = f_. ???

    Transverse waves are waves that vibrate perpendicular


    to the direction of wave travel like a wave in a stretched
    string.
    Longitudinal waves or compression waves are waves
    that vibrate forward and backward along the direction
    of travel like sound waves traveling through air.

    Interference
    Unlike two physical objects, two waves are able to
    move through each other.
    If two waves line up so that a crest in one wave is on
    top of a crest in the other then the result will be what is
    known as constructive interference and the resulting
    wave will have a larger amplitude than either of the two
    that are overlapping. If a crest lines up with a trough of
    the other wave then the result will be destructive
    interference and the resulting wave will be smaller,
    possibly zero. If two waves arrive at a point where they
    are in step with each other we say that the waves are in
    phase with each other, if they are out of step and cancel
    each other then we say that they are out of phase with
    each other.

    When a wave travels along through some medium and


    comes to a more dense (or rigid) medium then it will
