1 ! Reflection! Refraction! Diffraction! Interference Ways Waves Interact! Constructive! Destructive Standing Waves 1

2 Reflection Reflection occurs when a wave strikes an object and bounces off of it. All types of waves including sound, water, and light waves can be reflected.

3 Reflection How does the reflection of light allow you to see yourself in the mirror? It happens in two steps. First, light strikes your face and bounces off. Then, the light reflected off your face strikes the mirror and is reflected into your eyes.

4 Echoes A similar thing happens to sound waves when your footsteps echo. Sound waves form when your foot hits the floor and the waves travel through the air to both your ears and other objects.

5 Echoes Sometimes when the sound waves hit another object, they reflect off it and come back to you. Your ears hear the sound again, a few seconds after you first heard your footstep.

6 The Law of Reflection The beam striking the mirror is called the incident beam. The beam that bounces off the mirror is called the reflected beam.

7 The Law of Reflection The line drawn perpendicular to the surface of the mirror is called the normal.

8 The Law of Reflection The angle formed by the incident beam and the normal is the angle of incidence. The angle formed by the reflected beam and the normal is the angle of reflection.

9 The Law of Reflection According to the law of reflection, the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection. All reflected waves obey this law.

10 Refraction When a wave passes from one medium to another such as when a light wave passes from air to water it changes speed. If the wave is traveling at an angle when it passes from one medium to another, it changes direction, or bends, as it changes speed.

11 Refraction Refraction is the bending of a wave caused by a change in its speed as it moves from one medium to another.

12 Refraction: Snell s Law Refraction is what makes objects halfsubmerged in water look odd.

17 Refraction of Light in Water Light waves travel slower in water than in air. This causes light waves to change direction when they move from water to air or air to water. When light waves travel from air to water, they slow down and bend toward the normal.

18 Refraction of Light in Water When light waves travel from water to air, they speed up and bend away from the normal.

19 Refraction of Light in Water You may have noticed that objects that are underwater seem closer to the surface than they really are. In the figure, the light waves reflected from the swimmer s foot are refracted away from the normal and enter your eyes.

20 Refraction of Light in Water However, your brain assumes that all light waves have traveled in a straight line. The light waves that enter your eyes seem to have come from a foot that was higher in the water.

21 Diffraction When waves strike an object, several things can happen. The waves can bounce off, or be reflected. If the object is transparent, light waves can be refracted as they pass through it. Waves also can behave another way when they strike an object. The waves can bend around the object.

22 Diffraction Diffraction occurs when an object causes a wave to change direction and bend around it. Diffraction and refraction both cause waves to bend. The difference is that refraction occurs when waves pass through an object, while diffraction occurs when waves pass around an object.

23 Diffraction Waves also can be diffracted when they pass through a narrow opening. After they pass through the opening, the waves spread out.

24 Diffraction and Wavelength The amount of diffraction that occurs depends on how big the obstacle or opening is compared to the wavelength. When an obstacle is smaller than the wavelength, the waves bend around it.

25 Diffraction and Wavelength If the obstacle is larger than the wavelength, the waves do not diffract as much. In fact, if the obstacle is much larger than the wavelength, almost no diffraction occurs.

26 Hearing Around Corners You re walking down the hallway and you can hear sounds coming from the lunchroom before you reach the open lunchroom door.

27 Hearing Around Corners Why can you hear the sound waves but not see the light waves while you re still in the hallway? The wavelengths of sound waves are similar in size to a door opening. Sound waves diffract around the door and spread out down the hallway. Light waves have a much shorter wavelength. They are hardly diffracted at all by the door.

28 Diffraction of Radio Waves AM radio waves have longer wavelengths than FM radio waves do. Because of their longer wavelengths, AM radio waves diffract around obstacles like buildings and mountains. As a result, AM radio reception is often better than FM reception around tall buildings and natural barriers such as hills.

29 Interference When two or more waves overlap and combine to form a new wave, the process is called interference. Interference occurs while two waves are overlapping.

30 Wave Interaction All we have left to discover is how waves interact with each other. When two waves meet while traveling along the same medium it is called INTERFERENCE. 30

31 Constructive Interference Let s consider two waves moving towards each other, both having a positive upward amplitude. What will happen when they meet? 31

32 Constructive Interference They will ADD together to produce a greater amplitude. This is known as CONSTRUCTIVE INTERFERENCE. 32

33 Constructive Interference In constructive interference, the waves add together. This happens when the crests of two or more transverse waves arrive at the same place at the same time and overlap.

34 Constructive Interference The amplitude of the new wave that forms is equal to the sum of the amplitudes of the original waves.

35 UNIT 10 Section 4 Wave Interactions Wave Interference, continued In constructive interference, individual displacements on the same side of the equilibrium position are added together to form the resultant wave. UNIT menu Resources Copyright by Holt, Rinehart and Winston. All rights reserved.

36 Destructive Interference Now let s consider the opposite, two waves moving towards each other, one having a positive (upward) and one a negative (downward) amplitude. What will happen when they meet? 36

37 Destructive Interference In destructive interference, the waves subtract from each other as they overlap. This happens when the crests of one transverse wave meet the troughs of another transverse wave.

38 Destructive Interference The amplitude of the new wave is the difference between the amplitudes of the waves that overlapped. Waves undergoing destructive interference are said to be out of phase.

39 Destructive Interference This time when they add together they will produce a smaller amplitude. This is know as DESTRUCTIVE INTERFERENCE. 39

40 UNIT 10 Section 4 Wave Interactions Wave Interference, continued In destructive interference, individual displacements on opposite sides of the equilibrium position are added together to form the resultant wave. UNIT menu Resources Copyright by Holt, Rinehart and Winston. All rights reserved.

41 Destructive Interference This time when they add together they will produce a smaller amplitude. This is know as DESTRUCTIVE INTERFERENCE. 41

42 Check Your Understanding Which points will produce constructive interference and which will produce destructive interference? Constructive G, J, M, N Destructive H, I, K, L, O 42

43 Standing Waves A standing wave is a special type of wave pattern that forms when waves equal in wavelength and amplitude, but traveling in opposite directions, continuously interfere with each other. The places where the two waves always cancel are called nodes.

44 Standing Waves in Music When the string of a violin is played with a bow, it vibrates and creates standing waves. Some instruments, like flutes, create standing waves in a column of air.

48 Resonance The process by which an object is made to vibrate by absorbing energy at its natural frequencies is call resonance. If enough energy is absorbed, the object can vibrate so strongly that it breaks apart.

49 What is Resonance? Many objects have a natural frequency vibrates in a regular pattern. Resonance occurs when whenever a sound wave has the same frequency as the natural frequency of an object. The sound will cause the object with the same natural frequency to vibrate.

50 Question 1 Section Check State the law of reflection. Answer According to the law of reflection, the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection.

51 Question 2 Section Check is the bending of a wave caused by a change in its speed as it moves from one medium to another. A. Diffraction B. Diffusion C. Refraction D. Reflection

52 Answer Section Check The answer is C. The greater the change in speed is, the more the wave bends.

53 Question 3 Section Check Which is the means by which you can hear around corners? A. diffraction B. diffusion C. reflection D. refraction

54 Answer Section Check The answer is A. Diffraction occurs when an object causes a wave to change direction and bend around it.
