1-Dimensionl Wves We ve studied 1-D wves extensively Non-dispersive wve eqution is Norml modes re Dispersion reltion is t 2 ξ(x,t) = Ae i(kx±ωt ) ω = c w k 2 ξ(x,t) 2 2 ξ(x,t) = c w x 2 True even for dispersive wves Non-dispersive cse Try to extend nturlly to 2-D or 3-D It s esy
1-D to 2-D Let s extend from 1-D to 2-D Simplest wy is to ignore y We just declre tht ξ (x, y, t) is constnt in y Eqution nd solution remins the sme s 1-D 2 ξ(x,y,t) t 2 = c w 2 2 ξ(x,y,t) x 2 ξ(x,t) ξ(x,y,t) e.g. ξ(x,y,t) = ξ 0 e i(kx ωt ) This isn t the whole story We should be ble to send wves in y-direction too Move this wy
Isotropy We my define x-y coordintes s we find convenient Physics should not depend on prticulr direction Tht is, unless the medium hs preferred direction Non-directionl medi re clled isotropic Extend the 1-D wve eqution to mke it isotropic 2 ξ(x,y,t) t 2 2 2 ξ(x,y,t) = c w x 2 Extend the solution s well + 2 ξ(x,y,t) y 2 Substitute into the eqution nd we find the dispersion reltion: ξ(x,y,t) = ξ 0 e i(k x x+k y y ωt ) ω 2 = c w 2 (k x 2 + k y 2 ) Miniml extension
Wvenumber Vector We cn consider (k x, k y ) s 2-D vector Dispersion reltion determines the length of k k = (k x,k y ) Solution cn be written s ω 2 = c w 2 (k x 2 + k y 2 ) = c w 2 (k k) = c w 2 k 2 ξ(x,t) = ξ 0 e i(k x x+k y y ωt ) = ξ 0 e i(k x ωt ) Depends on the dot-product Points on line perpendiculr to k hve sme vlue of k x As t increses, this line moves k points the direction of wve propgtion k x y k x x
Norml Modes We now hve plne-wve solutions trveling in ll directions ξ k (x,t) = e i(k x ωt ) ω = ω(k) = c w k The direction is given by the wvenumber vector k Dispersion reltion determines the length of k For ech ω, there re infinite number of norml modes It s convenient to use k to specify norml mode There is one norml mode for every 2-D vector k Any rbitrry wves cn be expressed by liner combintion of these norml modes To show this, we need to expnd Fourier trnsform
Fourier Trnsform Any function f(x,y) cn be expressed s f (x,y) = Suppose t t = 0, the wve hd form f(x, y) Fourier integrl breks it into They trvel s + + So we know the complete solution F(k x,k y )e i(k x x+k y y ) dk x dk y where the Fourier trnsform F(k x,k y ) is given by 1 + + F(k x,k y ) = f (x,y)e i(kx x+ky y ) dx dy (2π) 2 ξ(x,y,t) = e i(k x x+k y y ωt ) + + e i(k x x+k y y ) F(k x,k y )e i(k x x+k y y ωt ) dk x dk y NB: ω depends on k
Rectngulr Membrne Imgine rectngulr drum Elstic film is stretched over rigid frme Consider smll piece Δx Δy Mss is m = ρδxδy It s pulled from 4 edges by tension L y T Δy T Δx T Δx T Δy Proportionl to the length of the edge L x Forces re blnced in the x-y plne Let s mke the film vibrte in z
Rectngulr Membrne Vibrtion mkes Viewed from the bottom edge, there is force in the z direction F z = T Δy z(x,y,t) +T Δy x T 2 z(x,y,t) ΔxΔy x 2 Sme with the other edges Totl force on this little piece is F z = T 2 z(x,y,t) x 2 z = z(x,y,t) z(x + Δx,y,t) x ΔxΔy +T 2 z(x,y,t) y 2 ΔxΔy T Δy x x + Δx x
Wve Eqution The eqution of motion is ρδxδy 2 z(x,y,t) t 2 = T 2 z(x,y,t) x 2 ΔxΔy +T 2 z(x,y,t) y 2 ΔxΔy 2 z(x,y,t) = T 2 z(x,y,t) t 2 ρ x 2 We lredy know the norml modes + 2 z(x,y,t) y 2 2-D wve eqution! z(x,y,t) = e i(k x ωt ) ω = c w k = T ρ k Remining problem: wht hppens t the edges? The film cn t move there z = 0
Stnding Wves Edge of the film is fixed z(0,y,t) = z(l x,y,t) = z(x,0,t) = z(x,l y,t) = 0 Similr to string with fixed ends ξ(0,t) = ξ(l,t) = 0 Solution ws stnding wves ξ(x,t) = sin nπ L x sin nπc w L Guess: 2-D stnding wves t z(x,y,t) = sin(k x x)sin(k y y)e iωt Let s see where this brings us
Stnding Wves To stisfy the boundry conditions To stisfy the dispersion reltion Frequencies don t come in nice integer rtios Drums don t hve cler pitch Bottom line: z(x,y,t) = sin(k x x)sin(k y y)e iωt sink x L x = 0 sink y L y = 0 k x L x = nπ k y L y = mπ ω = c w π n2 L x 2 + m2 L y 2 ω = c w k 1-D string hd L x ω = c w nπ L z(x,y,t) = sin nπ mπ x sin y e iωt L y
Stnding Wves z(x,y,t) = sin nπ x L x mπ sin y e iωt L y (n,m) = (1,1) Node lines split the film into n m rectngles (n,m) = (3,4) (n,m) = (1,2) (n,m) = (2,2) z = 0 on these lines
Stnding Wves vs. Norml Modes Stnding wves nd norml modes don t look relted z(x,y,t) = sin(k x x)sin(k y y)e iωt z(x,y,t) = e i(k x ωt ) They re in fct. Just not esy to see For 1-D wves, 2 norml modes They move in opposite directions hve sme ω Adding them gives stnding wves For 2-D wves, infinite norml modes hve sme ω They move in ll directions in the x-y plne Try dding 4 of them with mixed signs e i(kx±ωt ) e i(k x x+k y y ωt ) e i( k x x+k y y ωt ) e i(k x x k y y ωt ) + e i( k x x k y y ωt ) = 4 sin(k x x)sin(k y y)e iωt
Chldni Plte Ernst Chldni (1756-1827) Squre plte is held t the center Vibrtion of the plte = 2-D wves Don t worry bout the wve eqution Norml mode solution is s usul Boundry conditions re No force t the edge 1-D nlog is pipe with both ends open Guess the solution: k x = nπ k y = mπ Tht sounds esy enough z(x,y,t) = cos(k x x)cos(k y y)e iωt z(x,y,t) = cos nπ x mπ y cos e iωt
Chldni Plte z(x,y,t) = cos nπ x mπ y cos e iωt Extr condition: fixed in the middle It cn t move, nd cn t hve slope z center = cos nπ 2 z x center = nπ sin nπ 2 cos mπ 2 e iωt = 0 cos mπ 2 e iωt = 0 z = mπ y center cos nπ 2 Obvious solution is cos nπ 2 n nd m must be both odd sin mπ 2 e iωt = 0 = cos mπ 2 = 0
Chldni Plte z(x,y,t) = cos nπ x mπ y cos e iωt Think bout ngulr frequency ω Sme for n m If n m we hve two stnding-wve solutions with the sme frequency Liner combintion is lso stnding wves Suppose n nd m re both even Center is not node If we subtrct (m, n) from (n, m), we find cos nπ x mπ y cos mπ x cos This stisfies ll the conditions! nπ y cos ω = c w π Exmple: (2, 4) e iωt n 2 + m 2
Chldni Ptterns Both n nd m re even z center = z x center = z y center = cos nπ 2 cos mπ 2 nπ sin nπ 2 mπ cos nπ 2 (2, 4) (4, 2) cos mπ 2 cos nπ 2 e iωt = 0 mπ cos 2 + mπ mπ sin 2 cos nπ 2 sin mπ 2 + nπ cos mπ 2 sin nπ 2 e iωt = 0 e iωt = 0
Chldni Ptterns Mke liner combintions from (odd, odd) solutions Both sum nd difference stisfy the constrints (of course) (1, 3) (3, 1) sum 2 solutions for ech (odd, odd) pir 1 solution for ech (even, even) pir All of them hve 4-fold symmetry (= 90 rottion) diff.
