Learning Object- Harmonic Waves
A harmonic wave is a wave that is moving with simple harmonic motion. It is described by equation:
D(x) =A sin(kx)
Like simple harmonic motion, there is amplitude, (A) the oscillation between the highest and lowest
displacement. The highest displacement is called a crest, and lowest displacement is a trough. Between
two crests or two troughs gives the wavelength (λ). The wave number (k) is the amount of waves for a
certain length. It is calculated by this formula:
k= 2π/ λ
The speed of a wave is described by v= λf.
For a travelling wave, the equation describing the wave becomes
D(x, t) = A sin(kx-wt)
Question:
Bats use echolocation to navigate the environment and forage for food. The frequency (f) of the
sound of the bat is 50 kHz (50000 Hz). The sound waves produced by the bat undergoes
harmonic motion with amplitude of 0.9m. The distance between two crests of the sound wave is
1.5m.
A) How fast is the wave travelling?
B) For example, if the distance of an object nearby is 5 times the wavelength of the sound
(5λ). How many waves does it take to reach that object? (Calculate k).
C) Formulate an equation for the travelling wave.
D) Sketch this function from part C.
Answer:
A) Using the formula v= λf , and knowing the frequency is 50000Hz and the distance between two
crests is 1.5m. This means our wavelength (λ)is 1.5m. We now plug in our values to get
v =(1.5)(50000)
= 75000 m/s.
B) Knowing the distance of the object is 5 times the wavelength.
We write our formula as k=2π/ 5λ. We plug in our value 1.5m for our wavelength.
k= 2π/ 5λ
= 2π/5(1.5m)
=2π/(7.5m)
=0.84 rad/m
C) The equation for a travelling wave is defined as D (x, t) = Asin(kx-wt).
We know that frequency is 50000Hz, wavelength is 1.5m and amplitude is 0.9m. We can
calculate our k constant (wave number) by using the formula k= 2π/ λ. We get
k=2π/(1.5)= 4.19. So our k is 4.19. We need angular frequency, which can be calculated
by using formula w=2π/f. We get w=2π/(50000)=0.000126. Now just plug everything
into the formula, we get D(x, t) = 0.9sin(4.19x- 0.000126t).
