Ina wave energy and momentum is transmitted by oscillations.
‘A.wave can be classified in two broad categories. Mechanical
Waves and Non Mechanical or Electromagnetic waves. In
‘mechanical waves, energy is transferred due to oscillations of
‘medium particles and in non mechanical waves energy transfer
takes place by.the oscillations of electric and magnetic field
‘Vectors. In this chapter we'll mainly diseus all about mechanical
‘Waves which requires a physical medium for its propagation.
Properties of a Mechanicat Wave
A wave has three basic properties which devide the
characteristic behaviour of wave and these are
© Amplindeofwave Gi) reque
Gil) Velocity of wave
1ey of wave
© Amplitude: Itisthemaximum displacement ofoscitlating
medium particle from their mean position. It depends on the
source of oscillation or the wave generator. Tt may vary with
the distance of medium particle fom the oscillating source.
Gi) Frequency :Itisthe number of oscillations made bythe
tedium particles per unit ime, Italso depends onthe souree
of oscillations, Once a wave is produced by a source it is
‘erred bythe medium, 10 malters what the medium may be,
the frequency of oscillation remains same wherever the wave
ls ene
(Gi) Velocity of wave : It is the speed with which energy
transfers through a medium and it depends tainly on the
physical properties of tie medium, When a waveis ransmited
‘Through a medium, ils frequency and amplitude depends on
the source ofoscilaton which prices the wave ht its speed
is decided by the medium which carries energy.

Depending on the way how these medium particle oscillates
and the nature of oscillations, there are several types of
‘mechan cal waves, Mainly mechanical waves are classified in
two broad categories :
@ Transverse waves, (i) Longitudinal waves.

When a disturbance is localised only to a small
part of the space at a time, we say that a wae pulse
{& passing through That part ofthe space. This happens
when the source producing the disturbance (hand in
this case) is active only for a short time. If the source
‘is active for some extended time repeating it motion
several times, We get a wave train or a wave packet
Equation of a Travelling Wave
Suppose, in the example of figure (15.2), the man
starts snapping his hand at f=0 and finishes his job
at f=3%. The vertical displacement y ofthe left end of
the string is a function of time. It is zero for <0, has
nonzero value for O
At. Let us represent this function by fi). Take the
“Tet end of the string as the origin and take the X-axis
along the string towards right. The funetion it)
represents the displacement y of the particle at x = 0
