PHYSICS LAB EXPERIMENT

EXPERIMENT # 4
LAWS OF REFLECTION OF SOUND

Our Objective
To verify the laws of reflections of sound.




The Theory

What is reflection?
Reflection is the change in direction of a wavefront at an interface between two different media so that the wavefront returns into the medium from which it originated. Common examples include the reflection of light, sound and water waves.
Do you know how sound propagates?
Sound propagates through air as a longitudinal wave. The speed of sound is determined by the properties of the air, and not by the frequency or amplitude of the sound.  If a sound is not absorbed or transmitted when it strikes a surface, it is reflected. The law for reflection is the same as that of light, ie., the angle of incidence of a sound wave equals the angle of reflection, just as if it were produced by a 'mirror image' of the stimulus on the opposite side of the surface.
How do we describe the reflection of sound?
When sound travels in a given medium, it strikes the surface of another medium and bounces back in some other direction, this phenomenon is called the reflection of sound. The waves are called the incident and reflected sound waves.
What are incident and reflected sound waves?
The sound waves that travel towards the reflecting surface are called the incident sound waves. The sound waves bouncing back from the reflecting surface are called reflected sound waves. For all practical purposes, the point of incidence and the point of reflection are the same point on the reflecting surface.
A perpendicular drawn on the point of incidence is called the normal. The angle which the incident sound waves makes with the normal is called the angle of incidence, "i". The angle which the reflected sound waves makes with the normal is called the angle of reflection, "r".
Let’s look at the two laws of reflection
The following two laws of reflection of light are applicable to sound waves as well:
  • The incident wave, the normal to the reflecting surface and the reflected wave at the point of incidence lie in the same plane.
  • The angle of incidence ∠i is equal to the angle of reflection ∠r.
Materials Required:
Protractor table with two hollow tubes and a reflecting surface, alarm clock

Procedure:
1.     Take a sound reflection apparatus that consists of two hollow cylindrical tubes, a sound reflecting surface and a protractor.
2.     Move tube 1 towards left at an angle of 200 on the protractor.
3.     Now take a alarm clock and position it at the mouth of tube 1.
4.     You can hear sound waves passing through tube 1.now move tube 2 to catch the sound wave from tube 1. Once the maximum intensity is obtained through tube 2,fix the tube at that angle.
5.     Note the angle of incident and angle of reflection.
6.     Repeat the same above steps by moving tube 1 and then tube 2 at various angles.

Observations: 


Result: 
The angle of incidence is equal to angle of reflection.

Learning Outcomes
Student will understand the First and Second Laws of Reflection.

First Law of Reflection: The incident wave, the reflected wave, and the normal at the point of incidence lie on the same plane.

Law of Reflection: The angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection.

PHYSICS LAB EXPERIMENT

EXPERIMENT # 5
Velocity of a Pulse Propagated Through a Slinky

Our Objective
To determine the velocity of a pulse propagated through a slinky or a stretched string.
The Theory
What is meant by a slinky?
A slinky is a long helical spring, usually made of steel. It is flexible and has appreciable elasticity. It produces transverse waves when one end is fixed and the other end is stretched and given a jerk at right angle to its length. It produces longitudinal waves when compressions are given at regular intervals of time at the free end of the slinky. A disturbance which propagates through a medium is called wave.
What are longitudinal waves?
In case of longitudinal waves, the particles of the medium vibrate to and fro periodically along the direction of propagation of the wave. It consists of alternate compressions and rarefactions. For example, waves along a compressed spring are longitudinal waves.


Wavelength (λ) of longitudinal waves can be defined as:
The distance covered by one complete rarefaction and one complete compression. [Or] The distance between two consecutive compressions or rarefactions.
Frequency:  The number of vibrations made by a particle in the slinky per unit time (one second) is called its frequency. It is denoted by the symbol ‘f’.
Materials Required:

Procedure:
For Transverse Waves
1.     Take a slinky and place it lengthwise on the smooth surface of the table.
2.     Tie one end of the slinky with the fixed hook.
3.     Hold the free end of the slinky and stretch it (1 to 3 m depending upon the nature of slinky).
4.     Move your hand periodically and uniformly at right angles to the length of the slinky.
5.     Observe the propagation of the wave through the slinky and observe  the formation of crests and troughs.
For Longitudinal Waves
6.     Compress the free end of the slinky periodically and observe the slinky.
Did you see an alternate compressions and rarefactions passing through the slinky?
7.     Measure the wavelength by measuring the distance between two consecutive troughs (T and T) or two crests (C and C) in case of transverse wave. In case of longitudinal wave, λ is equal to distance between two consecutive compressions (C and C) or rarefactions (R and R).
8.     Note the time as pulse (wave) passes through slinky for a particular distance from which we can find out the velocity of the wave.

 Calculations:
       VELOCITY, V = DISTANCE TRAVELLED / TIME TAKEN

Observations: 
Length of slinky (cm)
Distance travelled by the pulse (cm )
Distance travelled by the pulse (m)
Time (s)            
Velocity = Distance/time (m/s)

500 
5 
4.6 
1.06 
 300
300 
3 
2.8 
1.07 

Result: 
The velocity of a pulse (wave) propagated through a stretched slinky = 1.06 m/s
Precautions:
1.     The slinky should have appropriate length, elasticity and flexibility.
2.     One end of the slinky should be fixed properly.
3.     The top of the table should be smooth.
