Vibrations and Waves
When you hang a weight on a spring the weight applies a force to the spring and it stretches in direct proportion to the applied force
According to Hookersquos law the amount of stretch (or compression) x is directly proportional to the applied force F
Double the force and you double the stretch triple the force and you get three times the stretch and so on F ~ ∆x
Elasticity
If an elastic material is stretched or compressed more than a certain amount it will not return to its original state
The distance at which permanent distortion occurs is called the elastic limit
Hookersquos law holds only as long as the force does not stretch or compress the material beyond its elastic limit

1 A piano emits frequencies that range from a low of about 28 Hz to a high of about 4200 Hz Find the range of wavelengths in air attained by this instrument when the speed of sound in air is 340 ms
2 The red light emitted by a He-Ne laser has a wavelength of 633 nm in air and travels at the speed of light (300 x 108 ms) Find the frequency of the laser light
De Broglie WavesLouis de Broglie suggested that all matter has wavelike characteristics
where h is Planckrsquos constant equal to 663 x 10-
34 Js
This wavelength is too small to notice interference for large objects This idea becomes important when looking all things at the microscopic level

De Broglie WavesWhat is the wavelength of an electron (mass = 911 x 10macr31 kg) traveling at 531 x 106 ms
Wave PropertiesPulse wave
A wave that is just one interference ndash no repetition
Reflection
Constructive and Destructive Interference Constructive interference
A superposition of two or more waves in which individual displacements on the same side of the equilibrium position are added together to form the resultant wave
Constructive and Destructive Interference Destructive interference
A superposition of two or more waves in which individual displacements on opposite sides of the equilibrium position are added together to form the resultant wave
