LAST TOPIC Flashcards
A _______ is a disturbance in a medium that carries energy without a net movement of particles. It may take the form of elastic deformation, a variation of pressure, electric or magnetic intensity, electric potential, or temperature.
WAVE
Motion in which all points on a wave oscillate along paths at right angles to the direction of the wave’s advance
TRANSVERSE WAVE
These are waves where the displacement of the medium is in the same direction as the direction of the travelling wave.
LONGITUDINAL WAVE
is the maximum displacement of any particle in the medium relative to its position
AMPLITUDE (A)
___________ of vibration is the time for a particle to complete one cycle
PERIOD (T)
___________ of vibration is the number of such vibrations executed by the particle each second.
FREQUENCY (f)
The distance along the direction of propagation between corresponding points on the wave.
WAVELENGTH (LAMBDA)
Wavelength formula
Lambda= V/f
Wave velocity
V=lambda/T
Wave number
K=2π/lambda
Velocity of a transverse wave on a stretched string
V=√TL/m
Fundamental frequency on a stretched string
f=V/2L=1/2L√TL/m
(LAWS OF VIBRATING STRING)
The frequency of a vibrating string is inversely proportional to the length when other factors are considered the same.
LAW OF STRENGTH F1/F2=L2/L1
(LAWS OF VIBRATING STRING)
The frequency of a vibrating string is directly proportional to the square root of the tension when other factors are considered the same.
LAW OF TENSION F1/F2=√T1/T2
(LAWS OF VIBRATING STRING)
The frequency of a vibrating string is inversely proportional to its diameter when the other factors are considered the same.
F1/F2=d1/d2
(LAWS OF VIBRATING STRING)
The frequency of a vibrating string is directly proportional to the square root of the density when other factors are considered the same.
LAW OF DENSITY F1/F2=√P1/P2
The pattern of disturbance caused by the movement of energy traveling through a medium (such as air, water, or any other liquid or solid matter) as it propagates away from the source of the sound.
SOUND WAVES
3 NATURE OF WAVES:
-INFRASONIC WAVE
-SONIC WAVE
-ULTRA SONIC WAVE
Are waves whose frequencies are too low for humans to hear. These have frequencies below 20 Hz
INFRASONIC WAVES
Are waves that can be heard by the human ear. These have a frequency range of 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz
SONIC WAVES
Are waves whose frequencies are too high to hear. These have the frequencies greater than 20,000 Hz.
ULTRASONIC WAVES
GENERATION OF SOUND
In order to generate sound, these three important thing must be present:
- There must be a vibrating body
- There must be a medium to transmit the vibration (sound cannot travel in vacuum)
- There must be a receiver to detect the sound.
CLASSIFICATION OF SOUND
A sound of one regular vibration or one being received by the ear to have a musical sequence.
TONES OR MUSICAL SOUNDS
A sound of irregular vibration or one with no definite range of frequency.
NOISE
