Term 2 Week 3 2017

Homework

  • Ex 3D, p.66--67, Wave Properties
  • Ex 3E, p.69-70, Diffration
  • Ex 3F, p.73-75 Superposition
  • Ex 3G, p.76-78, Two Point Source Interference
  • Ex 3H, p.81-81, Reflection

Reflection on A String
Hard Boundary
Wave reflects on opposite side (opposite phase)


Reflection on A String
Soft Boundary
Wave reflects on same side (same phase)

Refraction on A String
Fast to Slow Boundary
Relation of waves to Incident Wave
Reflected Wave - same speed - same wavelength - opposite phase
Refracted Wave - slower speed - smaller wavelength - same phase

Refraction on A String
Slow to Fast Boundary
Relation of waves to Incident Wave
Reflected Wave - same speed - same wavelength - same phase
Refracted Wave - faster speed - larger wavelength - same phase

Diffraction
The Bending of Waves Around Corners
  • Larger Wavelength - greater the angle of diffraction
  • Shorter Wavelength - smaller the angle of diffraction
  • Also the smaller the gap the greater the angle of diffraction
