Anatomy of a wave…
Waves
β€’ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2awbKQ2DLRE
Determine: Ξ», A, T, f, v, k, and Ο‰
Period (T): how long it takes for a single wave to pass a single point.
seconds
Frequency (f): number of waves that pass a given point in a time period
of one second.
Hertz (Hz) = 1/s
Q. What is the period of a 60 Hz wave traveling at 3.0 x 108 m/s?
𝑣 = 𝑓λ
This equation gives us the speed of a wave, given the information we
know about a wave….. This will be VERY important later on.
Q. If the speed is a constant (depending on the wave), what does this
tell us about the relationship between the frequency and the
wavelength?
k (wave number)
2πœ‹
π‘˜=
Ξ»
The distance between consecutive maxima.
Ο‰ (angular frequency)
Ο‰ = 2πœ‹π‘“ = π‘£π‘˜
Angular frequency = 2Ο€*frequency or speed of wave * wave number
Ο‰ = [rad/sec]

Ξ¦ (Phase Shift)
is the fraction of the wave cycle which has elapsed relative to the origin.
In phase
Out of Phase
Together we get…. The mathematical
description of a wave!
𝑦 π‘₯, 𝑑 = π΄π‘π‘œπ‘ (π‘˜π‘₯ βˆ’ ω𝑑 + Ο•)
A sinusoidal wave moving in the +x direction
But, we will work primarily with the simpler version:
𝑦 𝑑 = π΄π‘π‘œπ‘  𝑀𝑑
Wave traveling left or right?
𝑦 π‘₯, 𝑑 = βˆ’π΄π‘π‘œπ‘  π‘˜π‘₯ + 𝑀𝑑
Incident wave traveling to the left
𝑦 π‘₯, 𝑑 = π΄π‘π‘œπ‘  π‘˜π‘₯ βˆ’ 𝑀𝑑
Incident wave traveling to the right
Sine and Cosine Waves
Sine and Cosine Waves continued…
β€’ To determine nodes, all you need to do is know about the individual
types of waves, sine and cosine.
β€’ For sine, the function is 0, when the inside of the function is:
0, Ο€, 2Ο€, etc…
β€’ For cosine, the function is 0, when the inside of the function is:
πœ‹ 3πœ‹
, , etc…

What does the full 𝑦 π‘₯, 𝑑 = π΄π‘π‘œπ‘ (π‘˜π‘₯ βˆ’ ω𝑑 + Ο•)
equation look like?
So, why do we need to know this?
E π‘₯, 𝑑 = πΈπ‘œ π‘π‘œπ‘ (π‘˜π‘₯ βˆ’ ω𝑑)

Oscillating Electric & Magnetic Fields
𝐸 = 𝑐𝐡
Where, c is the speed of light!
𝑐 = 3 × 108 m/s
Q. So……. What causes this to even happen?

The EM Spectrum
Because of the large variation in EM waves (massive differences in wavelengths
and frequencies), we separate them into categories…
Radio
Microwave
Infrared
Visible
Ultra Violet
X-Ray
Gamma

Speed of an EM Wave
𝑐 = λ𝑓
Speed of Light = wave length * frequency
Energy of an EM Wave
𝐸 = β„Žπ‘“
Energy = Constant * frequency
