CHAPTER 15
WAVES

Transverse and longitudinal waves
Displacement relation in a progressive wave
The speed of a travelling wave
The principle of superposition of waves
Reflection of waves, Beats, Doppler effect

Angular wave number: It is phase change per unit distance.

i.e. $k = \frac{2}{\pi }$ ; S.I unit of k is radian per meter.

Relation between velocity, frequency and wavelength is given as :-

Velocity of Transverse wave:-

In solid molecules having modulus of rigidity ‘n’ ’ and density ‘ρ’ is

$V = \sqrt {\frac{n}{p}}$

In string for mass per unit length ’m’ and tension ‘T’ is $V = \sqrt {\frac{T}{m}}$

Velocity of longitudinal wave:-

(i) in solid $V = \sqrt {\frac{Y}{p}}$ , Y= young’s modulus
(ii) in liquid $V = \sqrt {\frac{K}{P}}$ , K=bulk modulus
(iii) in gases , K= bulk modulus

According to Newton’s formula: When sound travels in gas then changes take in the medium are isothermal in nature.

$V = \sqrt {\frac{P}{P}}$

According to Laplace: When sound travels in gas then changes take place in medium are adiabatic in nature.

$V = \sqrt {\frac{{P\gamma }}{p}} \;\;where\;\;\gamma = \frac{{Cp}}{{Cv}}$

Factors effecting velocity of sound :-

(i) Pressure – No effect
(ii) Density $- v\alpha \frac{1}{{\sqrt p }}\,\,or\;\frac{{V1}}{{V2}} = \sqrt {\frac{{{\rho ^1}}}{{{\rho ^2}}}}$
Temp- $V\alpha \sqrt T \;\;\;or\;\frac{{V1}}{{V2}} = \sqrt {\frac{{T1}}{{T2}}}$
(iii) Effect of humidity:– sound travels faster in moist air
(iv) Effect of wind –velocity of sound increasing along the direction

Wave equation if wave is travelling along +ve x-axis

Y=A sin (ax – kx), Where, $K = \frac{{2\pi }}{\gamma }$
${\text{Y}} = {\text{A sin 2}}\pi {\text{(}}\frac{t}{T}\; - \;\frac{x}{\lambda })$
${\text{Y}} = {\text{A sin }}\frac{{2\pi }}{\gamma }(vt - x)$

If wave is travelling along –ve x- axis

${\text{Y}} = {\text{A sin }}\left( {{\text{ax + kx}}} \right),{\text{ Where}},{\text{ K}} = \frac{{2\pi }}{\gamma }$
${\text{Y}} = {\text{A sin 2}}\pi {\text{(}}\frac{t}{T}\; - \;\frac{x}{\lambda })$
${\text{Y}} = {\text{A sin }}\frac{{2\pi }}{\gamma }(vt + x)$

Phase and phase difference

Phase is the argument of the sine or cosine function representing the wave.

$\phi = 2\pi (\frac{t}{T} - \frac{x}{\lambda })$ Relation between phase difference ( $(\Delta \phi )$ and time interval is $\Delta \phi = \frac{{2\pi }}{T}\Delta t$

Relation between phase difference $(\Delta p)$ and path difference $(\Delta x)$ is $\Delta \phi = \frac{{2\pi }}{\lambda }\Delta x$

Equation of stationary wave:-
$\;{Y_1} = a\;\sin \,2\pi \left( {\frac{t}{T} - \frac{x}{\lambda }} \right)\left( {{\text{ incidnet wave}}} \right)$
$\;{Y_1} = \pm \;a\;\sin \,2\pi \left( {\frac{t}{T} + \frac{x}{\lambda }} \right)\left( {{\text{reflected wave}}} \right)$

(1) Stationary wave formed
$Y = {Y_1} + {Y_2} = \pm 2a\;\cos \frac{{2\pi x}}{\lambda }\;\sin \frac{{2\pi l}}{T}$

(2) For (+ve) sign antinodes are at x= 0, $\frac{\lambda }{2},\;\lambda ,\;\frac{{3\lambda }}{2}$

(3) For (-ve) sign antinodes are at x= $\frac{\lambda }{4},\;\;\frac{{3\lambda }}{2},\frac{{5\lambda }}{4}.....$
Nodes at x= 0, $\frac{\lambda }{2},\;\lambda ,\;\frac{{3\lambda }}{2}$

(4) Distance between two successive nodes or antinodes are $\frac{\lambda }{2}$ and that between nodes and nearest antinodes is $\frac{\lambda }{4}$

(5) Nodes- point of zero displacement-
Antinodes- point of maximum displacement-

A = Antinodes
Mode of vibration of strings:-

$v = \frac{p}{{2L}}\sqrt {\frac{T}{m}\;} \;where,\;T = Tension$

M= mass per unit length
V= frequency, V=velocity of second , P=1, 2, 3, …..

b) When stretched string vibrates in P loops $\nu {\rm P} = \frac{{\rm P}}{{2L}}\sqrt {\frac{T}{m}} \; = \;{\rm P}\nu$
c) For string of diameter D and density ρ $\nu = \frac{1}{{LD}}\sqrt {\frac{T}{{\pi {\rm P}}}} \;$
d) Law of length $\nu x\alpha \frac{1}{L},\nu L$ = constant
