PPT-Waves II Physics 2415 Lecture 26

Michael Fowler UVa Todays Topics The wave equation Energy and power of waves Superposition Standing waves as sums of traveling waves Fourier series Harmonic Waves A simple harmonic wave has sinusoidal form. Doppler Effect. ~apparent change in frequency of a wave due to the motion of the source of the wave.. If the object is moving towards the observer the frequency will appear to increase. If the object is moving away from the observer the frequency will appear to decrease. Before the waves are made the particles are same distance apart. While waves moves through the medium the particles . compress. together, then they spread further apart (stretched areas)- . rarefaction.. 374-/01234123534671341849346744x 9 033/3133Webinar Requirements A computer phone etc with internet accessibility and a telephone lineYour presence on the call must be acknowledged at the start of eac Michael Fowler, .

Magnetism and Magnetic Induction.. Electromagnetic Waves.. We’ll cover some other waves, and optical phenomena, in the last few lectures. We’ll also cover DC and AC circuits in the course.. Michael Fowler, . UVa. Today’s Topics. Dimensions. Wave types: transverse and longitudinal. Wave velocity using dimensions. Harmonic waves. Dimensions. There are three fundamental units in mechanics: those of mass, length and time. . - Jon . Kabat. -Zinn. Waves are moving . energy. !. Most waves wind-driven. Moving energy along ocean/air interface:. Wind main disturbing force. Boundary between and within fluids with different densities. Michael Fowler, . UVa. Today’s Topics. Multi-slit interference. The diffraction grating: spectra. Waves and particles, more diffraction. Radio astronomy. Light Intensity Pattern from Two Slits. We have two equal-strength rays, phase shifted by. Michael Fowler, . UVa. Today’s Topics. Electric motors and galvanometers. Ratio of charge to mass for an electron. Hall Effect. Mass spectometry. Reviewing Essential Facts:. The force on an element of current in a wire in a magnetic field is:. Michael Fowler, . UVa. Today’s Topics. The . lensmaker’s. formula. Magnifying power. Lens combinations: ray tracing, telescopes.. Refraction at a Spherical Surface. Rays close to the axis (“paraxial”) will focus to an image inside the glass:. The Scottish physicist James Clerk Maxwell (1831–1879) was the first person to truly understand the fundamental nature of light. . He proved in 1865 that an electromagnetic disturbance should propagate in free space with a speed equal to that of light.. Learn how to excel in AP Physics with this comprehensive guide.
