Select Open with Firefox Web Browser.

To open the App right-click on standinglongitudinalwaves_en.htm file.

Select the option Open with Firefox Web Browser.

Point to the App. The App opens in the browser.
Highlight the 1st line from the paragraph. Here is the information related to the App interface.
Scroll down to see the interface. Scroll down to see the interface completely.
Point to the tube.

Point to the blue points.

This interface shows a tube filled with air molecules.


The blue dots inside the tube represent the air molecules.

Point to both the graphs in given sequence. Here we can see two plots.

Displacement of particles and Divergence from average pressure.

Point to both the X- axis.

Point to Δx.

Point to Δp.

X axis represents the length of the tube.


Δ(delta)x is the change in displacement of molecules from the equilibrium position.


Δ(delta)p is the Divergence from average pressure.

Point to pink and red waves. Observe the pink and red waves.

They show the instantaneous movement of air molecules.

Point to the Form of tube and move the cursor to show the different radio buttons. In the green panel, under the heading Form of tube, we have three radio buttons.
Point to the default selected form. By default both sides open radio button is selected.
Point to the Vibrational mode.

Point to Lower and Higher buttons.

Next, under Vibrational mode we see two buttons, Lower and Higher.
Point to the Lower buttons.

Point to show the fundamental.

By default, the App shows the lowest Vibrational mode.


The lowest vibrational mode of the system is known as fundamental.


Fundamental vibrational mode is the first harmonic followed by higher harmonics.

Point to Length of tube edit box. We can change the Length of the tube in this box.
Point to Length of tube. Length of the tube can be varied between 1 meter to 10 meters.
Point to Wavelength and Frequency. The App calculates the Wavelength and Frequency based on the length of the tube.
Click on the Higher button till we get a 5th overtone. Click the Higher button continuously.

It shows 5 overtones for the six harmonical vibrations.

Press F5 key. Press F5 key on the keyboard to reset the App.
Point to the tube.

Move the cursor to show the particles at the middle.

Move the cursor to show the particles at extreme positions.

Observe the motion of air molecules.

Molecules in the middle of the tube do not displace from the mean position.

Therefore in the Displacement of particles graph, node is in the middle.

Show the movement of particles and then point to the graph Observe that particles at the extreme positions are oscillating in and out.

Here particles oscillate with maximum amplitude.

Therefore antinode is present at the extreme ends of the X- axis.

Move the cursor to 2nd graph. Let us move to the second graph.
Cursor on the interface. Observe the movement of particles inside the tube and graph simultaneously.
Point to graph and the tube. In the graph, movement of the pink wave shows the changes in the pressure.

As the particles move towards the center, they get compressed.

So pressure increases.

When they move away pressure decreases.

Click on one side open Form of tube radio button. Under Form of tube, select one side open radio button.
Cursor on the tube. Observe the movement of particles in this form of the tube.
Point to the closed end. Here particles at the closed end are not moving.

Therefore the pressure is maximum at this end.

Cursor on the interface. Let us calculate the wavelength in this form of the tube.
Define Wavelength in a text-box.

show the picture for which we have to calculate the wavelength.

First let us define wavelength.

Wavelength is the distance between two consecutive peaks.

Click on the Higher button.

Point to the 1st overtone

Click on the Higher button to show the first overtone.

We have to calculate the wavelength of first overtone wave.

Slide Number 10

Wavelength


L = (n/4)x λ

L is length of tube

λ is wavelength

n= 1,2,3,......n


λ=4L/n

Mathematically we can write,

L = n by 4 of lambda


here L is length of the tube and lambda is the wavelength.

n’ can take values from 1 to n.

By rearranging the equation we can write this as

lambda= 4L upon n

Slide Number 11

Wavelength


λ=4L/n


λ=(4 X 1)/3= 1.33 m


Let us calculate the wavelength.

The wavelength of the first overtone is three-fourth of the complete wave.

Here the value of n is 3.

From the App, value of length of tube can be taken as L.

Therefore the calculated value of wavelength is 1.33 metre.

This is the wavelength of first overtone mode of vibration.

Slide Number 12

Frequency

The number of complete oscillations per second is known as the frequency of a sound wave.

It is measured in hertz (Hz).

f=c/λ

λ is wavelength

c is speed of sound wave

Now we will calculate the frequency of the wave.

The number of complete oscillations per second is the frequency of a sound wave.


It is measured in hertz (Hz).


Frequency is calculated using the formula.

f=c/λ

λ is wavelength and

c is speed of sound wave

Point to the value in the App. The App shows the value of speed of sound wave as 343.5 metre per second at 20 degree Celsius.
Cursor to show the wave for which frequency has to be calculated. Let us calculate the frequency of the same wave.
Show the picture

f=c/λ

=343.5 / 1.33

= 258.27 Hz

Substitute the values for the above formula from the App.

The value for the frequency is 258.27 Hertz.

This value is comparable to the value shown in the App.

Slide Number 13
