Standing wave, also called stationary wave, combination of two waves moving in opposite directions, each having the same. The phenomenon is the result of interference—that is, when waves are superimposed, their energies are either added together or cancelled out. In the case of waves moving in the same direction, produces a travelling wave; for oppositely moving waves, interference produces an fixed in space.

This phenomenon can occur because the medium is moving in the opposite direction to the wave, or it can arise in a stationary medium as a result of. Interference between two waves traveling in opposite directions. The sum of two counter-propagating waves (of equal amplitude and frequency) creates a. Standing wave.

A vibrating rope tied at one end will produce a, as shown in the Figure; the wave train (line B), after arriving at the fixed end of the rope, will be reflected back and superimposed on itself as another train of waves (line C) in the same plane. Because of interference between the two waves, the resultant amplitude ( R) of the two waves will be the sum of their individual amplitudes. Part I of the Figure shows the wave trains B and C coinciding so that standing wave R has twice their amplitude. In part II, 1/ 8 period later, B and C have each shifted 1/ 8. Part III represents the case 1/ 8 period still later, when the amplitudes of the component waves B and C are oppositely directed. At all times there are positions ( N) along the rope, called, at which there is no movement at all; there the two wave trains are always in opposition. On either side of a node is a vibrating ( A).

The antinodes alternate in the direction of displacement so that the rope at any instant resembles a graph of the mathematical function called the sine, as represented by line R. Both longitudinal ( e.g., sound) waves and transverse ( e.g., water) waves can form standing waves.

Lab Report for Experiment 14 Standing Waves Shivam Agarwal Lab Partner: Anton Draayer TA: Kunpeng Mu May 18, 2016 Introduction:The experiment had two investigations and the main goals of the experiment were to studystanding waves of a string, to examine the relationship between string tension and wave velocity,to study standing waves in an air column and to measure the sound velocity. Both theinvestigations were very different to each other and to conduct the experiment, we had a 120Hzvibrator, 2 stands with 2 rods, 3 rod clamps, 1 pulley, a short rod with a string clamp, a meterstick, a sound wave apparatus, 3 tuning forks with different frequencies and brass weights. In thefirst investigation, we created standing waves on a string and also measured the mass of theweights we were adding to the bucket to get the different number of nodes on the string. We alsomeasured the distance between the nodes which helped us calculate various values of the stringincluding the wavelength, tension, density and the speed of the wave. These values helped usmake a graphical analysis of the standing waves using the tension of the string and the square ofvelocity.

In the second investigation, we used three different tuning forks with differentfrequencies to create standing longitudinal waves in an air column. As we struck the fork overthe column, we measured the position where the sound from the column was the loudest. Usingthe position and the frequency of the fork, we calculated the wavelength, speed and the period.Using all these values we did a graphical analysis of these values by plotting a graph using thewavelength and the period of the waves. All the calculations and the graphs were drawn usingMicrosoft Excel and all these values are shown under the data analysis parts of the twoinvestigations.

Investigation 1:Setup and procedure:In this investigation, we had to create standing waves on a string. So we first set two rods about ameter apart from each other and then attached the two rods by a string. On one end of a string,we attached a bucket and the other end of the string was on the other rod on which we clampedthe electromagnetic vibrator and the string holder.

The other rod had a pulley through which thestring passed and the bucket was hanging. As the investigation was set up, we then switched thevibrator on due to which the string started to vibrate and we were able to see different number ofnodes on the string. To get different number of nodes, we started adding brass weights to thebucket and so we recorded the distance between nodes for 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 number of nodes.Using these values, we also calculated the average distance, the wavelength, the velocity and thetension in the string. After calculating these values, we made a graph using the velocity squaredand the tension force of the string to find out the mass per unit length of the string.Data and analysis:0 1 2 3 4 5 025000f(x) = 3440.03 x + 1813.R² = 1 v^2 vs fv^2 vs f Linear (v^2 vs f) Linear (v^2 vs f)Tension forceV^measured these values which helped us find the period, wavelength of the wave and the speed ofthe sound.

Conclusion:Investigation 1 –Calculated String Density: 0.Theoretical String Density: 0.The error in the calculated and the theoretical value can be caused due to the parallax error as itis very difficult to count the number of nodes as the number increases. It is also very difficult tosee where the node starts and ends which causes the distance between the nodes to be uncertain.The uncertainties in all the other errors also cause the values to be a little different.Investigation 2 –Calculated speed of sound: 341.62 m/sTheoretical value: 343 m/sThe calculated value is very close to the theoretical value and the error that could have caused inthis to happen would be the way the measurement was handled as it was not easy to accuratelymeasure the position where the loudest sound was produced.
