The patterns which move without the real physical transferor flow of matter asa whole are called waves. For example, while We speak, the sound (known as sound waves) moves outward from us, without any flow of ar from one part of the medium to another the disturbances produced in ar are much less obvious and only our ears ora microphone can detect them. 2. There are mainly three types of waves (2) mechanical waves, (b) electromagnetic waves, and () matter waves. Mechanical waves obey Newtons laws and they exst in material media Electromagnetic waves, unlike the mechanical waves, do not require any medium for thelr propagation, Allelectromagnetic waves travel through vacuum atthe same speed of light c= 299,792/458 m/s) ‘The waves that are associated with moving electrons protons, neutrons, other particles, and even with atoms and molecules are called matter waves as we commonly think of these as constituting matter.

Awave moves on a string with a constant velocity, Does this mean thatthe particles ofthe string always have zero acceleration? Justify your answer. Solution ‘Awave moves ona string with constant velocity tis not correct to conclude tha the particles ofthe string always have zero accel= ration. Is important to distinguish between the speed of the waves on the sting, Var and the speed of the particles in the String, Veer The wave Speed Yaqe Is determined by the properties ofthe string, namely, the tension inthe string and the linear ‘mass density ofthe string. These properties determine the speed with which the disturbance travels along the sting.

Nothing Is attached to the loose end ofthe rope. A transverse wave is traveling ‘on the rope. As the wave travels up the rope, does the speed of the wave increase, decrease, or remain the same? Give a reason for your choice. Solution ‘Arope of mass mis hanging down from the celing, Nothing i attached tothe loose end ofthe rope. A transverse wave i traveling up the rope. ‘The tension in the rope isnot constant. The lower portion of the rope pulls down on the higher portions ofthe rope. If we Imagine thatthe rope is divided into small segments, we see thatthe segments nesr the top ofthe rope are being pulled down by ‘moce weight than the segments near the bottom. Therefore, the tension inthe rope Increases as we move up the rope, The speed ‘ofa transverse wave on the rope is given by the equation Vame = yT/m/I)-As the tension Tin the rope Increases, the speed of the wave increases, Therefore, as the transverse waves travel up the Tope, the speed ofthe wave increases.

Explain Solution Sound waves require material medium to propagate. On Earth, while talking, ai in the atmosphere of Earth serves asthe mate- ial medium for propagation of sound waves. We know that on Moon there is no existence of atmosphere and therefore in the absence of air(or any other material medium), sound waves cannot travel. Hence, when two astronauts try to talkon the surface of the Moon, the sound produced by one astronaut would not be heard by the othe 10. Longitudinal waves are also called pressure waves. Comment, Solution We know that when a longitudinal wave travels through a medium, it propagates inthe form of compressions and rarefactions. Hence, propagation of longitudinal waves involves changes in pressure and volume of ar. Therefore, longitudinal waves ae also called pressure waves. 11, Transverse waves ae not produced in liquids and gases. Why? Solution When a transverse wave propagates through @ medium, it forms crests and troughs (Fig. 148) and the shape of the medium changes: We know that liquids and gases do not posses elasticity of shape and therefore transverse waves cannot propagate ‘through liquid gases, however they can propagate through the surface ofthe liquids but cannot propagate inside liquids and gases.

Explain Solution The sea water is denser when compared with the fresh water and since sound waves are material waves, the speed of sound Increases with increase in density ofthe medium, Hence, the velocity of sound is more in sea water than fresh water. 113, Wehear two distinct sounds on placing our ear atone end ofthe metalic pipe when the other end s being hammered. Why? Solution When the metalic pipe is hammered at one end, two distinct sounds are heard: (1) one sound through the metallic pipe layer Itself which reaches our ears faster and (2) the other sound through the air medium, which reaches after an interval of time. Since these two sounds reach our ears after an interval oftime, It appears that we hear two distinct sounds. ‘Additional Problems 1. A stretched wire emits a fundamental note of 256 He.

A bat receives a reflected wave (frequency) and estimates the distance, diection, nature, and size ofan obstacle with the help of its brain senses.

Therefore, we can distn- ‘uish between the notes produced by a star anda violin even f they have the same frequency of vibration. Since solids have shear modulus, they can sustain shearing stress. Since fluids do not have any definite shape, they yield to shearing stress. The propagation of a transverse wave Is such that it produces shearing stress ina medium. The propagation ‘of such a wave Is possible only in solids, and not in gases. Both solids and fluids have their respective bulk modull. They can sustain compressive stress, Hence longitudinal waves can propagate through solids and fds. ‘pulse is essentially isa combination of waves having different wavelengths.
