Document Summary

Physics 7e - lecture 9 - wave motion. A wave transfers power along a string because it transfers energy. Each element can be considered to have a mass of m . Integrating over all the elements, the total kinetic energy in one wavelength is. The same amount of total potential energy. E(cid:540) = k(cid:540) + u (cid:540) = 2. The power is the rate at which the energy is being transferred: The intensity of a wave is the average power it carries per unit area. If the waves spread out uniformly in all directions and no energy is absorbed, the intensity i at any distance r from a wave source is inversely proportional to r : 1/r. When a wave reflects from a fixed end, the pulse inverts as it reflects. When a wave reflects from a free end, the pulse reflects without inverting. Interference is the result of overlapping waves.
