KS4 Waves: Diffraction, Interference and Resonance Using the ripple tank Reflection and refraction Barrier with a small gap Barrier with a medium gap Barrier with a large gap Diffraction effects Natural frequency Columns of air Vibrating strings - mass Vibrating strings - length Vibrating strings - tension Waves that do not move Which standing wave has the highest frequency? What effect causes a glass to shatter if it is vibrated at its natural frequency? Reflection Refraction Total internal reflection Resonance What happens to the natural frequency of an object as its mass decreases? No change Increases Decreases Goes to zero What effect causes your car radio signal to go up and down as you drive along? Resonance Interference Reflection Refraction What size must the gap in a barrier be to get the greatest diffraction effect for an approaching wave? Twice the wavelength of the wave A lot smaller than the wavelength of the wave A lot larger than the wavelength of the wave The same size as the wavelength of the wave Why is light not diffracted by a doorway but sound is? Light has a longer wavelength than sound Light does not travel in waves Light has a much shorter wavelength than sound Sound travels in waves ? Boardworks Ltd 2003 A ripple tank is a device used to study the behaviour of waves, because all waves behave in a similar manner. A ripple tank produces water waves that can be r_______, r_______ and d________. eflected efracted iffracted Paddle vibrates to produce waves What do you think will happen if a barrier is placed in front of the water waves? If it is a plane barrier than the waves are reflected. Paddle vibrates to produce waves Barrier What do you think will happen if a block is submerged in the ripple tank? The change in depth of the water causes a change in speed of the waves, they are refracted. What do you think will happen if a barrier with a gap in it is placed in front of the water waves? It depends upon the size of the gap. Paddle vib
