Kinds of pressure hydrostatic pressure exerted on an object by a column of liquid air/atmospheric pressure exerted on an object by air

A barometer is an instrument used to measure pressure. It was invented by Evangelista Torricelli. Pascals principle (by Blaise Pascal) states that for any change in pressure applied at any given point on a confined fluid is transmitted undiminished throughout the fluid

Buoyancy is the apparent loss of weight of objects when submerged in a liquid Buoyant force ( ) is the upward force exerted by water that seems to balance the force of gravity Archimedes principle states that a body partly or entirely submerged in a fluid is buoyed up by a force equal in magnitude to the weight of the displaced fluid

2 Surface tension the surface behave like a stretched membrane caused by the attractive forces Capillary action the liquid in the tube will rise some distance above the surface of the surrounding liquid the smaller the diameter, the higher is the level of the liquid inside the tube Bernoullis Principle (by Daniel Bernoulli) as the velocity of the fluid increases, its pressure decreases rate of flow Two flow types: Laminar flow smooth motion of particles in a fluid Turbulent flow irregular motion of particles in a fluid

4 History of Wave and Harmonics birth of acoustics and optics 19th century BC the interest in musical instruments prompted the mathematical 14th century BC study of vibrating bodies and of the propagation of sound through air Pythagoras established the connection between musical sounds 4th century BC and mathematics Robert Hooke and Christian Huygens believed light to be a form of wave motion Thomas Young (1800) firmly established the wave nature of light Heinrich Hertz (1886) established that radio waves were of the nature of light waves AM radio waves are measured in kHz while FM radio waves are measured in MHz 20th century wave concepts were used to develop the theory of quantum mechanics called wave mechanics Vibration is the periodic or repeated motion of a particle or mechanical system. Simple harmonic motion is the back-and-forth vibratory motion of a swinging pendulum wherein the restoring force is proportional to the displacement from the equilibrium. Hookes Law: wherein: is the spring constant; and is the change of length of the spring Types of waves: 1] According to the medium requirement: A] Mechanical waves waves that require a medium (water waves, sound waves, waves that move along a rope or a string) B] Electromagnetic waves waves that does not require a medium 2] According to the number of travelling pulse: A] Pulse waves single travelling pulse B] Periodic wave continuous generation of pulses 3] According to the direction of motion A] Transverse wave have vibrations that are at a right angle or perpendicular to the direction of the wave B] Longitudinal wave have vibrations that are along the direction of the wave C] Surface wave is a combination of both transverse and longitudinal waves.

Characteristics of a Sound Wave: we cannot see sound waves, but we can measure all their properties composed of waves of compression and rarefaction (a sound wave is a longitudinal wave) follows an orderly pattern carries energy Sound is produced when vibration causes pressure variations in the medium. Propagation of sound: travel through solids, liquids and gases but not in vacuum travel more efficiently in denser materials propagates three-dimensionally (all directions) approximately spherical The human ear is an amazing sound detector Three Tiny Bones: Anvil, Hammer, Stirrup

Physical properties of sound waves: 1] Pitch perception of highness or lowness of sound depends on the frequency of sound wave A] audio frequency range: 20Hz 20 000Hz B] ultrasonics: above 20 000Hz C] infrasonics: below 20Hz Doppler Effect (Christian Doppler) is the change in frequency or pitch of a sound that is caused by the movement of either the source, the listener, or both blue shift is the increase in frequency due to the Doppler effect while the red shift is the decrease in frequency due to the Doppler effect 2] Loudness sound level or intensity determined mainly by the amplitude of the sound wave the threshold of hearing is 0dB while the threshold of pain is 120dB

is the Plancks constant (

6 the second sound is noticeably louder than the first sound if the second sound is 1dB higher than the first sound; the second sound is twice as loud as the first sound if the second sound is 10dB higher than the first sound; two equal sound levels combined will create a sound that is 3dB higher than their original volume 3] Timbre tone color or tone quality distinguish between two different sounds that have the same pitch and loudness depends on the wave form of the sound wave different wave forms creates different tone quality Speed of sound doesnt depend on the source but on the medium through which they move. It is dependent on the following: 1] density since sound waves move well through dense materials because their molecules are close together 2] elasticity since sound waves move fast through elastic materials 3] temperature since sound waves travel faster through warm air than through cold air has less effect on solids or liquids m at 0C the speed of sound in gas is estimated to be about s m for every increase in temperature speed increases by about s a supersonic boom will occur if a source moving at speeds greater than the speed of sound that would cause the waves to pile up Sound wave characteristics: 1] Reflection bouncing of wave an echo is any reflected sound heard shortly after the original sound affected by two factors: A] properties of the reflecting sound since greater energy is reflected if the surface is hard and smooth B] distance of the reflecting surface from the source since to hear an echo, the sound source must be at least 17m away from the reflecting surface 2] Refraction sound waves bend or refract as they move through air (differences in air densities) 3] Diffraction bending of sound waves due to a barrier or opening greatest in high pitch sounds and less in low pitch 4] Interference has two types: Constructive Interference occurs when two waves combine with each other and create another wave of higher intensity Destructive Interference occurs when two waves combine with each other and create another wave of lower intensity Music pleasing combination of tones regular pattern rhythm, harmony, melody, pitch, quality vs Noise random and irregular unwanted sound

7 Musical Instruments String Instruments produce tone when strings vibrate higher vibration yields higher volume long and thick strings produce low pitch sounds while short and thin strings produce high pitch sounds Wind Instruments contain a column of air that vibrates when air is blown a long air column will produce a low pitch sound while a short air column will produce a high pitch sound Percussion Instruments produce sound when they are struck depends on how hard one strikes the instrument pitch is affected by the tension on the drum covering

8 Optics is the study of light Wave Christian Huygens Thomas Young James Clerk Maxwell Heinrich Hertz Albert Einstein Nature of Light light does spread out (Christian Huygens on his Wave Theory of Light) light travels only in a straight line (Isaac Newton on his Corpuscular Theory) discovered the diffraction and interference of light which can be explained only in terms of wave theory (Thomas Young, 1801) predicted that changing electric and magnetic fields can propagate through space as electromagnetic waves and light itself is an electromagnetic wave (James Clerk Maxwell, 1860) discovered the existence of electromagnetic waves through radio waves shared same property of light (Heinrich Hertz, 1880) proposed that energy comes in discrete units called quanta (Max Planck, 1900) theorized that light is composed of bundles of wave energy called photons (Albert Einstein, 1905, on his Photoelectric Effect) shared that photons of X-rays decreased in energy when colliding with electrons (Arthur Compton, 1923) light has a dual nature; behaves as both wave and particle (Louis Victor de Broglie, 1924) Particle Isaac Newton Max Planck Arthur Compton

Producing Visible Light an illuminated object is an object that reflects light waves a luminous object is an object that gives off its own light Two Ways to Produce Light incandescence light is produced when the atoms of an object are heated emitted nearly all extremely hot objects when temperature is lower, the wavelength is higher which will produce a reddish color; conversely, when temperature is higher, the wavelength is lower which will produce a bluish color luminance only electrons of the atom are involved no need for large amount of heat caused by the movement of electrons from higher to lower energy level a] Chemiluminescence production of light as a result of chemical reaction b] Bioluminescence production of light by organisms c] Fluorescence production of light when excited by another source of radiation light ceases when external excitation stops d] Phosphorescence production of light when excited by another source of radiation luminescence persists even after the removal of the external excitation

Types of Materials opaque materials absorb light waves that fall on them; absorb light without reemission translucent materials allow light to be transmitted through them but its rays are distorted during the passage transparent materials transmit light waves and permit objects to be seen clearly through them; produce a chain of absorption and re-emission of light Light Wave Interactions reflection is the bouncing off of light waves diffraction is a kind of reflection wherein light strikes a rough, uneven surface regular/specular reflection is a kind of reflection wherein light strikes a smooth, flat surface refraction is the bending of light waves due to difference in density law of refraction (Snells Law) (index of refraction)

10 total internal reflection occurs when light travels from a denser to less dense medium and strikes the surface at an angle greater from the critical angle, the light beam is not able to get out of the denser material dispersion is the process by what light is separated into its colors due to differences in degrees of refraction interference (Thomas Young on his Double Slit Experiment) diffraction is the bending of light waves due to a barrier or opening Huygens Principle states that every point on any wave front of light from a point source may be regarded as a new point source of secondary waves polarization occurs to a light wave if its vibrations are confined to a single place a polarizer transmits only the wave that vibrates parallel to the alignment of the crystals in it an analyzer transmits only the wave that vibrates perpendicularly to the first polarized sheet
