Damped Oscillation
More realistic oscillation where an oscillating object loses its mechanical
energy in time by a retarding force such as friction or air resistance.
How do you think the
motion would look?
Amplitude gets smaller as time goes on since its energy is spent.
Types of damping
A: Overdamped
B: Critically damped
C: Underdamped

Forced Oscillation; Resonance
When a vibrating system is set into motion, it oscillates with its natural
frequency f0.
1
k
f0 
2
m
However a system may have an external force applied to it that has
its own particular frequency (f), causing forced vibration.
For a forced vibration, the amplitude of vibration is found to be dependent
on the different between f and f0. and is maximum when f=f0.
A: light damping
B: Heavy damping
The amplitude can be large when
f=f0, as long as damping is small.
This is called resonance. The natural
frequency f0 is also called resonant frequency.

Characterization of Waves
• Waves can be characterized by
– Amplitude: Maximum height of a crest or the depth of a trough
– Wave length: Distance between two successive crests or any
two identical points on the wave
– Period: The time elapsed by two successive crests passing by
the same point in space.
– Frequency: Number of crests that pass the same point in space
in a unit time
• Wave velocity: The velocity at which any part of the
wave moves

Waves vs Particle Velocity
Is the velocity of a wave moving along a cord the
same as the velocity of a particle of the cord?
No. The two velocities are
different both in magnitude
and direction. The wave
on the rope moves to the
right but each piece of the
rope only vibrates up and
down.

Speed of Transverse Waves on Strings
How do we determine the speed of a transverse pulse traveling on a string?
If a string under tension is pulled sideways and released, the tension is responsible for
accelerating a particular segment of the string back to the equilibrium position.
The acceleration of the
So what happens when the tension increases?
particular segment increases
Which means?
The speed of the wave increases.
Now what happens when the mass per unit length of the string increases?
For the given tension, acceleration decreases, so the wave speed decreases.
Which law is this hypothesis based on?
Newton’s second law of motion
Based on the hypothesis we have laid out
v
above, we can construct a hypothetical
formula for the speed of wave
Is the above expression dimensionally sound?

Example for Traveling Wave

pulley and supports a 2.00kg object. Find the speed of a pulse traveling along this cord.

Earthquake Waves
•
Both transverse and longitudinal waves are produced when an
earthquake occurs
–
–
•
Using the fact that only longitudinal waves goes through the core of
the Earth, we can conclude that the core of the Earth is liquid
–
•
S (shear) waves: Transverse waves that travel through the body of the Earth
P (pressure) waves: Longitudinal waves
While in solid the atoms can vibrate in any direction, they can only vibrate
along the longitudinal direction in liquid due to lack of restoring force in
transverse direction.
Surface waves: Waves that travel through the boundary of two
materials (Water wave is an example) This inflicts most damage.

The Richter Earthquake Scale
• The magnitude of an earthquake is a measure of the amount of
energy released based on the amplitude of seismic waves.
• The Richter scale is logarithmic, that is an increase of 1
magnitude unit represents a factor of ten times in amplitude.
However, in terms of energy release, a magnitude 6 earthquake
is about 31 times greater than a magnitude 5.
–

–
–
M=1 to 3: Recorded on local seismographs, but generally not felt
M=3 to 4: Often felt, no damage
M=5: Felt widely, slight damage near epicenter
M=6: Damage to poorly constructed buildings and other structures within
10's km
– M=7: "Major" earthquake, causes serious damage up to ~100 km (recent
Taiwan, Turkey, Kobe, Japan, California and Chile earthquakes).
– M=8: "Great" earthquake, great destruction, loss of life over several 100
km (1906 San Francisco, 1949 Queen Charlotte Islands) .
– M=9: Rare great earthquake, major damage over a large region over 1000
km (Chile 1960, Alaska 1964, and west coast of British Columbia,
Washington, Oregon, 1700).

Energy Transported by Waves
Waves transport energy from one place to another.
As waves travel through a medium, the energy is transferred as vibrational energy
from particle to particle of the medium.

Reflection and Transmission
A pulse or a wave undergoes various changes when the medium
it travels changes.
Depending on how rigid the support is, two radically different reflection
patterns can be observed.
1.
2.
The support is rigidly fixed (a): The reflected pulse will be inverted to the original
due to the force exerted on to the string by the support in reaction to the force on
the support due to the pulse on the string.
The support is freely moving (b): The reflected pulse will maintain the original
shape but moving in the reverse direction.

Transmission Through Different Media
If the boundary is intermediate between the previous two extremes,
part of the pulse reflects, and the other undergoes transmission,
passing through the boundary and propagating in the new medium.
When a wave pulse travels from medium A to B:
1. vA> vB (or A<B), the pulse is inverted upon reflection
2. vA< vB(or A>B), the pulse is not inverted upon reflection

Superposition Principle of Waves
If two or more traveling waves are moving through a
medium, the resultant wave function at any point is the
algebraic sum of the wave functions of the individual waves.
Superposition
Principle
The waves that follow this principle are called linear waves which in general have
small amplitudes. The ones that don’t are nonlinear waves with larger amplitudes.
Thus, one can write the
resultant wave function as

Wave Interferences
Two traveling linear waves can pass through each other without being destroyed or altered.
What do you think will happen to the water
waves when you throw two stones in the pond?
They will pass right through each other.

Constructive interference: The amplitude increases when the waves meet
What happens to the waves at the point where they meet?
Destructive interference: The amplitude decreases when the waves meet
