3 Interference Waves ADD: Constructive Interference. Waves SUBTRACT: Destructive Interference. In Phase Out of Phase

4 Superposition Traveling waves move through each other, interfere, and keep on moving!

5 Pulsed Interference

6 Superposition Waves ADD in space. Any complex wave can be built from simple sine waves. Simply add them point by point. Simple Sine Wave Simple Sine Wave Complex Wave

7 Fourier Synthesis of a Square Wave Any periodic function can be represented as a series of sine and cosine terms in a Fourier series: y( t) ( A sin2 ƒ t B cos2 ƒ t) n n n n n

8 Superposition of Sinusoidal Waves Case 1: Identical, same direction, with phase difference (Interference) Both 1-D and 2-D waves. Case 2: Identical, opposite direction (standing waves) Case 3: Slightly different frequencies (Beats)

9 Superposition of Sinusoidal Waves Assume two waves are traveling in the same direction, with the same frequency, wavelength and amplitude The waves differ in phase y 1 = A sin (kx - wt) y 2 = A sin (kx - wt + f) y = y 1 +y 2 = 2A cos (f/2) sin (kx - wt + f/2) Resultant Amplitude Depends on phase: Spatial Interference Term

10 Sinusoidal Waves with Constructive Interference y = y1+y2 = 2A cos (f/2) sin (kx - wt + f /2) When f = 0, then cos (f/2) = 1 The amplitude of the resultant wave is 2A The crests of one wave coincide with the crests of the other wave The waves are everywhere in phase The waves interfere constructively

11 Sinusoidal Waves with Destructive Interference y = y1+y2 = 2A cos (f/2) sin (kx - wt + f /2) When f =, then cos (f/2) = 0 Also any even multiple of The amplitude of the resultant wave is 0 Crests of one wave coincide with troughs of the other wave The waves interfere destructively

12 Sinusoidal Waves Interference y = y1+y2 = 2A cos (f/2) sin (kx - wt + f /2) When f is other than 0 or an even multiple of, the amplitude of the resultant is between 0 and 2A The wave functions still add

13 Superposition of Sinusoidal Waves y = y 1 +y 2 = 2A cos (f/2) sin (kx - wt + f/2) The resultant wave function, y, is also sinusoidal The resultant wave has the same frequency and wavelength as the original waves The amplitude of the resultant wave is 2A cos (f/2) The phase of the resultant wave is f/2 Constructive Destructive Interference

14 Wave Interference y = y 1 +y 2 = 2A cos (f/2) sin (kx - wt + f/2) f Resultant Amplitude: 2Acos 2 Constructive Interference: f 2 n, n 0,1, 2,3... Destructive Interference: f (2n 1), n 0,1, 2, 3...

41 Standing Wave

42 Standing Wave:

43 Transverse Standing Wave Produced by the superposition of two identical waves moving in opposite directions.

44 Standing Waves on a String Harmonics

45 Standing Waves Superposition of two identical waves moving in opposite directions. y A sin ( kx - wt) y A sin ( kx wt) 1 2 y (2Asin kx)cos wt There is no kx wt term, and therefore it is not a traveling wave! Every element in the medium oscillates in simple harmonic motion with the same frequency, w: coswt The amplitude of the simple harmonic motion depends on the location of the element within the medium: (2Asinkx)

46 Note on Amplitudes y (2Asin kx)cos wt There are three types of amplitudes used in describing waves The amplitude of the individual waves, A The amplitude of the simple harmonic motion of the elements in the medium,2a sin kx The amplitude of the standing wave, 2A A given element in a standing wave vibrates within the constraints of the envelope function 2Asin kx, where x is the position of the element in the medium

47 Node & Antinodes A node occurs at a point of zero amplitude x n 2 n 0,1, An antinode occurs at a point of maximum displacement, 2A

48 Antinode #5 Two harmonic waves traveling in opposite directions interfere to produce a standing wave described by y = 2 sin ( x) cos (3 t) where x is in m and t is in s. What is the distance (in m) between the first two antinodes? a. 8 b. 2 c. 4 y (2Asin kx)cos wt d. 1 e. 0.5

49 Standing Waves Intensity of a wave is proportional to the square of the amplitude: I A 2. Intensity is maximum at points of constructive interference and zero at points of destructive interference. Slide 21-30

50 Standing Waves on a String Mode Number of Standing Waves m is the number of antinodes on the standing wave. The fundamental mode, with m = 1, has 1 = 2L. The frequencies of the normal modes form a series: f 1, 2f 1, 3f 1, The fundamental frequency f 1 can be found as the difference between the frequencies of any two adjacent modes: f 1 = f = f m+1 f m. Below is a time-exposure photograph of the m = 3 standing wave on a string. Slide 21-46

73 What is the difference between Noise and Music? Regular Repeating Patterns

74 Multiple Harmonics can be present at the same time.

75 The amount that each harmonic is present determines the quality or timbre of the sound for each instrument.

76

77 Quality of Sound Tuning Fork A tuning fork produces only the fundamental frequency

78 Quality of Sound Flute The same note played on a flute sounds differently The second harmonic is very strong The fourth harmonic is close in strength to the first

79 Quality of Sound Clarinet The fifth harmonic is very strong The first and fourth harmonics are very similar, with the third being close to them

80 Standing Waves in Membranes Two-dimensional oscillations may be set up in a flexible membrane stretched over a circular hoop The resulting sound is not harmonic because the standing waves have frequencies that are not related by integer multiples The fundamental frequency contains one nodal curve

81 Standing Waves Standing waves form in certain MODES based on the length of the string or tube or the shape of drum or wire. Not all frequencies are permitted!

93 Beat Frequency #11 In certain ranges of a piano keyboard, more than one string is tuned to the same note to provide extra loudness. For example, the note at 110 Hz has two strings at this frequency. If one string slips from its normal tension of 600 N to 540 N, what beat frequency is heard when the hammer strikes the two strings simultaneously?
