Waves Overview
A wave is a disturbance that moves through a medium.
– manifestations– common language of waves
» amplitude, period, frequency, wavelength, speed
– special case: waves on a string» speed, energy transmission, interference, standing waves and
resonance
– sound waves» mechanism, speed, intensity, beats

Classifications of waves
Transverse wave – the local displacement or field amplitude is perpendicular to the direction of energy flow– examples: string, drumhead, water surface

Harmonic wavesA math fact: Any finite function can be
represented as the sum of sine and cosine functions.
So all we need to really understand is sine, or harmonic waves

Phase and Phase Difference
The argument of the sine fn: 2x vt
is called the phase of the wave.
When we talk about phase difference , we are talking about how the argument differs for different times or places in the wave.
For two times (at the same point):

iClicker Check 21.4
Can you uniquely determine the velocity of a wave from snapshots of amplitude vs position at two different times?
a) Yes
b) No
Because the wave repeats, the change in position can be altered by an integer times the wavelength and you won’t know the difference.

Wave on a string 1
.Suppose we have a string
with tension
What are the forces on it?
The tension is the only force.
It acts in different directions at each end of
the piece of string and pulls the
string up or down, depending on the
curvature.

Choose a small section of a string pulse. If this section is curved, then the
tension at the two ends of the section will be along the string at that end.
