VibrationVibration: in a general sense, anything that switches : in a general sense, anything that switches back and forth, to and fro, side to side, in and out, off back and forth, to and fro, side to side, in and out, off and on, loud and soft, or up and down is and on, loud and soft, or up and down is vibratingvibrating. A . A vibration is a wiggle in vibration is a wiggle in timetime..

WaveWave: a wiggle in both : a wiggle in both spacespace and and timetime is a wave. A is a wave. A wave extends from one place to another.wave extends from one place to another.

Vibrations and waves: the source of all waves is Vibrations and waves: the source of all waves is something that is vibrating. Waves are propagations of something that is vibrating. Waves are propagations of vibrations throughout space. vibrations throughout space.

1.1. VIBRATION OF A PENDULUMVIBRATION OF A PENDULUM

T l g2

What does the period (T) depend upon? Length of the pendulum (l). Acceleration due to gravity

(g). Period does not depend

upon the bob mass or the amplitude of the swing.

Vibration of a pendulum. The to-and-fro vibratory motion is also called oscillatory motion (or oscillation).

Page 4: PHYSICS Vibrations and Waves General definitions of vibrations and waves  Vibration: in a general sense, anything that switches back and forth, to and

When oscillations are small, the motion

is called simple harmonic motion (shm)

and can be described by a simple sine

curve.

Sound WavesSound Waves

Molecules in the air vibrate about some average position creating the compressions and rarefactions. We call the frequency of sound the pitch.

Sound Wave InterferenceSound Wave Interference

•Interference occurs when two sounds of difference frequency are heard superposed. •Constructive interference causes louder sound and destructive inference cause fainter sound.•This alternating pattern produces a beat. A piano tuners listens for beats to disappear.
