PART APART A
Definition of waveDefinition of wave • A periodic disturbance which travels
through a medium from one point in space to the others.
Wave motion means the propagation of waves through a medium.
Wave motion appears in almost every branch of Physics.

Basic properties of wavesBasic properties of waves :• Energy is transferred from one place to another in
a wave motion.• Motion of the medium (particles of the medium) is
usually periodically vibratory.• Only the shape or form of wave travels, not the
medium.
Remember to take notes

1. Mechanical Waves• A material medium is necessary for the transmission for
mechanical waves. Mechanical waves cannot travel through vacuum.
• Due to elastic forces on adjacent layers of medium, disturbance is transmitted from one layer to the next through the medium.
according to the direction of vibration, waves are also classified into :
(a) Transverse wave;
(b) Longitudinal waves.

1.1 Transverse WavesTransverse Waves• The waveform appears in the shape of sine curve.• A wave in which the motions of the matter particles are
perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave itself.
Water waves, pulse in a stretched string,transverse wave demonstrator.

1.2 Longitudinal WavesLongitudinal Waves
• A wave in which the motions of the matter particles are in the same direction as the wave propagation.
ExamplesSound, or a spring oscillating up and down, etc.Show magnetic longitudinal demonstrator

2. Electromagnetic Waves• Material medium is not essential for propagation. e/m
waves travel through vacuum.
• Disturbance of electric and magnetic fields travelling through space.
• All electromagnetic waves are transverse waves.
X-rays, radio waves, micro-waves,etc. examples

Terminology of a Wave
• Amplitude • Wavelength ()• Frequency (f)• Period (T)• Wave velocity (v)
A wave is usually described by the following terms :
Each term will be explained….

• The amplitude is the maximum displacement of the medium from its equilibrium position.
• The wavelength () is the minimum distance between two points which are in phase.
• The frequency (ƒ) is the number of complete oscillations made in one second. Unit : Hz
• The period (T) is the time taken for one complete oscillation. It is related to frequency by T = 1/ƒ Unit : s

Using the Wave EquationUsing the Wave EquationExample :
A travelling wave of wavelength 0.6m moves at a speed of 3.0 m/s. What is the period of this wave ?
Click to see the answer
Then the period of this wave is ???Period T = 1/ƒ T = 1/5.0 or 0.2 s
Now you know = 0.6 m, v = 3.0 m/s Can you find the frequency of this wave……
Table ofContents
By using the wave
equation, v = ƒ 3.0 = ƒ(0.6) i.e ƒ = 5.0 Hz

Reflection of WavesReflection of Waves
A travelling wave is reflectedreflected when it hits a barrier.
This phenomenon can easily be observed when a travelling waterwave hits a reflector in the ripple tank.

Refraction of WavesRefraction of Waves
- The speed of a water wave increases with depth. This change in speed is accompanied by refraction refraction.
This effect is a consequence of the wave equation, v = ƒ.Since ƒ is constant, a decrease in v produces a decrease in .

Diffraction of WavesDiffraction of Waves
When a travelling water wave hits an obstacle, the wavefronts spreads out round the edge and becomes curved. This phenomenon refers to diffraction..
The wavelength of the wave is not changed in diffraction.

Interference of WavesInterference of WavesWhen two or more waves propagating in the same medium meet at the same point, interference interference is said to occur. A stable interference pattern can be observed when two water waves of same frequency meet one another in a ripple tank.
