Abstract:
This chapter presents the basic wave phenomena. First, the concept of superposition and the synthesis of waves in one dimension is introduced and the phenomenon of interference is derived. Then, at an introductory level, Fourier wave analysis is presented. The generation of standing waves by the superposition of similar waves moving in opposite directions and their basic characteristics (nodes and antinodes) is then presented. The example of standing waves in bounded strings is given and the resonance condition and its application to stringed musical instruments is deduced. The phenomena of reflection and transmission of waves in a string at the boundary surface are also presented, and the reflection and transmission coefficients of amplitude, and the reflection and transmission coefficients of energy and power are derived. Finally, the simple cases of the Doppler effect are presented and the equations of variation of the observed frequency are derived.
