Hooke’s Law
Hooke’s
law and oscillation
• A simple example of vibration motion: an object attached to a spring.
Fs kx
The negative sign means that the force
exerted by the spring is always directed
opposite the displacement of the object
(restoring force).
A restoring force always pushes or pulls
the object toward the equilibrium position.
No friction
Hooke’s Law
Hooke’s
law and oscillation (cont’d)
• A simple example of vibration motion:
an object attached to a spring.
Suppose the object is initially pulled
a distance A to the right and released
from rest. Then the object does simple
harmonic motion.
No friction
Simple harmonic motion occurs when the
net force along the direction of motion
obeys Hooke’s law – when the net force
is proportional to the displacement from
equilibrium point and is always
directed toward the equilibrium
point.

• A simple example of vibration motion:
an object attached to a spring.
No friction
Terminology:
- The amplitude A is the maximum
distance of the object from its equilibrium position. –A<= x <= A.
- The period T is the time it takes the
object to move through one complete
cycle of motion from x=A to x=-A and
then back to x=A.
- The frequency f is the number
of complete cycles or vibrations
per unit time. f=1/T.

Damped Oscillation
Oscillation
with friction
• In any real systems, forces of frictions retard the motion induced
by restoring forces and the system do not oscillate indefinitely.
The friction reduces the mechanical energy of the system as time
passes, and the motion is said to be damped.
Waves
Examples
and sources of waves
• The world is full of waves: sound waves, waves on a string,
seismic waves, and electromagnetic waves such as light, radio
waves, TV signals, x-rays, and g-rays.
• Waves are produced by some sort of vibration:
Vibration of vocal cords, guitar strings, etc sound
Vibration of electrons in an antenna, etc
Vibration of water

of waves
• Transverse waves
The bump (pulse) travels to the right
with a definite speed: traveling wave
Each segment of the rope that is disturbed
moves in a direction perpendicular to the
wave motion: transverse wave

Types
of waves (cont’d)
• Longitudinal waves
The elements of the medium undergo displacements parallel
to the direction of wave motion: longitudial wave
Their disturbance corresponds to a series of high- and lowpressure regions that may travel through air or through any
material medium with a certain speed.
sound wave = longitudinal wave
C = compression
R = rarefaction

Speed of Waves on Strings
Speed
of waves on strings
• Two types of speed:
The speed of the physical string that vibrates up and down
transverse to the string in the y-direction
The rate at which the disturbance propagates along the length
of the string in the x-direction: wave speed
• For a fixed wavelength, a string under greater tension F has a
greater wave speed because the period of vibration is shorter,
and the wave advances one wavelength during one period.
A string with greater mass per unit length m (linear density) vibrates
more slowly, leading to a longer period and a slower wave speed.

Interference of Waves
Superposition
principle
• Tow traveling waves can meet and pass through each other without
being destroyed or even altered.
• When two or more raveling waves encounter each other while
moving through a medium, the resultant wave is found by adding
together the displacements of the individual waves point by point.
