WAVE MOTION as eee disturbance in the medium that causes the particles of the medjum to undergo in a vibratory motion about their mean position in equal intervals of time is called wave. The mechanism by which energy and momentum is transferred from one place to another place is called wave motion. E.g. Sound waves and light waves. CHARACTERISTICS OF WAVE MOTION ©2o0 © ©0809 eo Itis a sort of disturbance which travels through a medium Material medium is essential for the propagation of mechanical waves The particles of the medium execute simple harmonic motion atout their mean position when a wave passes through a medium: There is a continuous phase difference among successive particles of the medium. The velocity of the particle during vibration is different at different position. ‘The velocity of waves motion through a particular medium is constant It depends only on the nature of medium. It is independent of frequency, ngth or intensity. wavel Energy is propagated along with the wave motion without any net transport of the medium. TYPES OF WAVES The waves have three types called mechanical waves, electromagnetic waves and matter waves. lied mechanical a as of mechanical AL WAVES 5 ‘The waves which need medium for their propagation f waves The water waves, sound waves and waves on string af examples 0! ‘waves, , The mechanical waves are divided into two parts called transv© longitudinal waves.

WAVELENGTH The space occupied by a crest and a trough is called wavelength of transverse waves. The distance between two consecutive crests or troughs is equal to wavelength A. The distance occupied by one crest or distance occupied by one trough is equal to 1/2 f= T Hence velocity of wave can be written as Wi eet It shows increase in frequency of a wave causes decrease in its wavelength but their product is always constant. LONGITUDINAL WAVES ; The waves in which particles of a medium move back and forth along the direction of propagation of waves are called longitudinal waves. aU These waves travel in the form of compressions and rarefactions. waves travel through air in the form of longitudinal waves. The vibrations of air column in organ pipes are longitudinal. The vibrations of air column above the surface of water in the tube of resonance apparatus are longitudinal. The longitudinal waves can be transmitted through solids, liquids and gases The sound » becduse volume and elasticity is necessary for their propagation.

ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVES Mediunr leperctent The waves produced due to oscillation of charged particles are called electromagnetic waves. These waves can travel through vacuum as well as_ transmission lines. The light waves, radio waves and x-rays are electromagnetic waves. The light waves are transverse in nature because light consists of electric field vectors and magnetic field vectors which are perpendicular to each other. MATTER WAVES The waves associated with fast moving microscopic particles such as_ electrons are called matter waves or de Broglie waves. The wavelength of these waves is given as ‘mV. WAVE MOTION The disturbance in the medium that causes the particles of the medium to undergo in a vibratory motion about their mean position in equal intervals of time is called wave. The mechanism by which energy is transferred from one point to another point is called wave motion. ¢.g. Sound waves and light waves.

A train of waves is produced when end of a string is moved back and forth. The wave train having periodic motion is called Periodic wave train. WAVE FRONT The line or surface on which the disturbance has the same phase at all points is called wave front. The periodic source produces a succession of wave-fronts having same shape. Ripples on a pond are the example of wave-fronts. The wave-fronts may be plane waves, spherical waves and cylindrical waves.

TRAVELLING WAVES The wave in which medium moves in the direction of propagation of the wave is called travelling wave. The energy and momentum is transferred from one point to other point when a wave travels.

Q.7 Discuss phenomenon of energy transfer in Wave motion j ENERGY TRANSFER IN WAVE MOTION - me i , i i en a Wi The energy is provided by external source for the motion ofa string WI v is set up on a string. The wave transports this energy as kinetic energy and elastic potential energy. KINETIC ENERGY Consider an element of a string having length 5x and mass 5m. The string element oscillates transversely when a wave passes through it. The kinetic energy associated 1 element is > 5m (uy). The transverse velocity uy of this element and its kinetic energy is zero when element is at its extreme position y = Ym as shown in fig. at position @. The transverse velocity of element and its kinetic energy is maximum when element is rushing through y = 0 position as shown in fig. at position @. ELASTIC POTENTIAL ENERGY The wave travelling through string stretches the:string. The length element must increase and decrease in a periodic way when string element of length 5x oscillates transversely. The elastic. potential energy is associ i 2 gaat, by ciated with these length changes just as . 394 _meoiwaves D1 se oscua TIONS For B $c. Classes Based on Resnick, Haliday, Krane : The elastic potential energy is zero when string element is at y = Ym position as shown in fig, at position ®. The element has maximum clastic potential energy when it is rushing through y = 0 position as shown in fig. at position @. ENERGY TRANSFER The regions of the string at maximum displacement have no energy while regions of string at zero displacement have maximum energy. The forces due to tension in the string continuously do work to transfer energy from regions with energy to regions with { no energy when wave travels along the string. Consider we send a wave along the string by continuously oscillating one end of } the string which is stretched along x-axis. In doing so we continuously provide energy 4 for the motion and stretching of the string as string section oscillate perpendicularly to the x-axis and having kinetic energy and elastic potential energy. As the wave moves into HH sections that were previously at rest, energy is transferred into those new section. Thus we say that wave transports energy along the string. Q.8 Calculate formula for power and intensity in wave motion?

Q Q.10 What are standing or stationary waves, derive condition of nodes and anti nodes mathematically? (pu. 2008, GCUF, 2014) STANDING WAVES The interference of two identical sinusoidal waves having same amplitude, same frequency and same wavelength when they are tavelling along a string in Opposite direction is called standing waves or stationery waves. FORMATION OF STANDING WAVES Consider a string is tied between two fixed supports. A pulse will be produced when string is plucked at one end. The energy given into an elastic medium travels as a transverse pulse towards other end. Now this pulse is reflected from support. The reflection inverts the pulse which travels back down the string in reverse direction . i train of There will be a train of positive pulses travelling towards right ie Ae bya Negative pulses travelling towards left when a series of pulses is put on Oscillator, The resultant of these travelling waves when interfering destructively and constructively is standing waves.

(PU, 2003, 2007, 2011, 2012, 2013, SU. 2014) BEATS The periodic altemations of maximum and minimum sound intensity are called beats when two sound waves of slightly different frequencies are travelling in the same direction combine together. The production of beats is basically interference of longitudinal waves. The resultant wave has time varying amplitude. ‘These tuning forks are no longer identical when a weight is attached to one of the tuning forks. Now striking of one tuning fork will not cause.the other tuning fork to Tesonate at the same frequency.
