I. Forced Vibration & Resonance
Forced Vibration is the vibration of a system under the influence of a continuous, external, periodically applied force of a frequency (p ) same as the oscillator.
Governing Equation: d t 2 d 2 y â + 2 Îť d t d y â + Ď 2 y = f 0 â sin pt .
Amplitude (A ): A = ( Ď 2 â p 2 ) 2 + 4 Îť 2 p 2 â f 0 â â .
Resonance Condition (P R â ): Maximum displacement occurs when p = P R â = Ď 2 â 2 Îť 2 â .
Maximum Amplitude (A ma x â ): A ma x â = 2 Îť Ď 2 â Îť 2 â f 0 â â .
II. Progressive Wave Dynamics
Wave Motion transports energy and momentum without transporting matter.
Types: Mechanical (needs media; Ex: Sound/Water waves); Non-mechanical (no media; Ex: Light/Radio waves).
Progressive Wave Equation: y = a sin ( Ď t â k x ) OR y = a sin Îť 2 Ď â ( v t â x ) .
Wave Velocity (V ): V = K Ď â = f Îť = T Îť â .
Differential Equation: d t 2 d 2 y â = V 2 d x 2 d 2 y â .
Energy Density (E ): E = 2 Ď 2 f 2 a 2 Ď .
Intensity (I ): I = 2 Ď 2 f 2 Ď a 2 V (where I â a 2 ).
III. Sound Phenomena
Sound Wave: Mechanical, longitudinal wave requiring a medium (velocity v = f Îť ).
Audible Frequency: 20  Hz ⤠f ⤠20 , 000  Hz .
Doppler Effect: Apparent change in frequency (f Ⲡ) due to relative motion between source and observer.
f Ⲡ= f Ă V â V s â V Âą V o â â .
Beats: Formed by interference of two wave trains.
Beat Frequency: Always equal to the difference of the two nearly equal frequencies, n 1 â â n 2 â beats per second.
Maximum Sound Time: t = n 1 â â n 2 â k â (where k = 0 , 1 , 2... ).
Intensity Level (L ): L = k log 10 â ( I 0 â I â ) .
Reverberation: Persistence of audible sound after the source has stopped.
