First a little vocab WAVE A periodic disturbance in a solid liquid or gas Some waves light can travel through empty space MEDIUM Matter or space through which waves travel I Waves transfer energy. some history. (based on D. . Kennefick’s. work). Historical tidbits. 1776: Laplace suggests four mechanisms that could explain secular perturbations of Moon-Earth orbit. One the explanations was a non-instantaneous propagation of gravity, affecting the binary system (abandoned because its speed would be too large to be measurable to explain the effect). . Sources and detection . Ravi . kumar. . Kopparapu. Center for Gravitational-Wave Physics (CGWP) . Gravity. Einstein’s General theory of relativity :. Gravity is a manifestation of curvature of 4- dimensional (3 space + 1 time) space-time produced by matter (metric equation ? g. Physics 4. Prepared by Vince Zaccone. For Campus Learning Assistance Services at UCSB. Maxwell’s Equations. Prepared by Vince Zaccone. For Campus Learning Assistance Services at UCSB. Maxwell’s equations summarize the relationships between electric and magnetic fields. A major consequence of these equations is that an accelerating charge will produce electromagnetic radiation.. Learning Objectives. Know why light is said to travel in waves.. Know what polarisation is.. Know how diffraction patterns occur.. Success criteria. Explain how experiments show that light travels in waves. . Earthquake. – shaking and trebling that results from the movement of rock beneath Earth’s surface.. Plate movement causes earthquakes from stress and faults in Earth’s crust. When the rock breaks earthquakes happen. 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. Dennis Stewart. November. Smu. Modern Physics. 1. Outline for this talk. Einstein . Einsteins Contribution. Joseph Weber. LIGO. The Machine and How it works. The Chrip. Conclusion. 2. Albert Einstein. Periodic Motion – any repeated motion with regular time intervals. Simple Harmonic Motion – vibration about an equilibrium position in which a restoring force is proportional to the displacement from equilibrium . 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.. A wave is any disturbance that transmits energy through matter or empty space.. Energy can be carried away from it’s source by a wave. As a wave travels, it does work on everything in it’s path. Warm-Up: February 17/18, 2016. Vibrations and Waves. Chapter 14. A . periodic motion . repeats in a regular cycle.. Examples include:. Pendulums (such as on a grandfather clock). A mass at the end of a spring. Wave. Repeating disturbance or movement. Carries energy through matter and space. Vibrations. Anything that moves in a rhythmic patter. Up and down. Back and forth. What is a Wave. All waves are produced when something vibrates. 2022-2023 Season. Russ Burleson. geaux15@hotmail.com. . 1. Agenda. Binder Check/Homework review. Mechanical Wave overview. Transverse Waves. Surface Waves. Longitudinal Waves (general). Sound Waves (Longitudinal). Energy is moving, not water. orbital motion. energy is transferred via circular motions. water (and gull) return to original position. the wave form moves forward. Motion decreases with depth. At. a depth of ½ of the wavelength, the motion is not significant..
