Travelling Standing Waves http: //phet. colorado. edu/sims/wave-on-a-string_en. html • Travelling wave – No end – Zero damping – Oscillate • Standing wave – Clamped end – Some damping – Oscillate
Formation of Standing Wave •
Standing wave animation • Animation http: //faraday. physics. utoronto. ca/IYear. Lab/Intros/Standing. Waves/Flash/reflect. html • Note Peaks oscillate in place – Nodes – Antinodes • Only certain wavelengths “fit” – Basis for stringed instruments (guitar/violin/piano) – Electromagnetic resonances – Quantum mechanics
Standing wave with both fixed ends • Both ends (approximately) fixed http: //faraday. physics. utoronto. ca/IYear. Lab/Intros/Standing. Waves/Flash/sta 2 fix. html • Only certain wavelengths “fit”
Standing waves and resonance •
Standing waves and resonance •
Stringed Instruments •
Stringed Instruments II • Factors effecting frequency – String length (guitar frets) – Tension (violin tuning) – Mass/length (bass guitar)
Example 11 -14 •

Problem 58 •
Problem 59 • Find velocity needed for number of antinodes • Find tension needed for those velocities
Problem 59 (2) •
