  1. Reflections and Superposition • Contents: • Reflections • Why they occur • Preventing • Types • Angles • Superposition • Definition • Constructive/Destructive

  2. Why Reflections Occur Reflections occur at any abruptchange in medium Demo wave device - Fixed, Free, change TOC

  3. Why Reflections Occur Reflections occur at any abruptchange in medium Light Reflecting TOC

  4. Why Reflections Occur Reflections occur at any abruptchange in medium Sound Reflecting TOC

  5. Their phone Your phone US Phone system Cable or satellite French phone system Why Reflections Occur Reflections occur at any abruptchange in medium More examples: Waves off islands - Polynesian navigators Long Distance telephone calls: TOC

  6. 4 ohms 8 ohms 8 ohms 4 ohms Your Stereo Impedance Transformer Your Speaker Preventing reflections Reflections occur at any abruptchange in medium • 2 ways to prevent reflection: • Make there be no change in medium • Make the change less abrupt (i.e. gradual) TOC

  7. Preventing reflections • Reflections occur at any abruptchange in medium • 2 ways to prevent reflection: • Make there be no change in medium • Make the change less abrupt (i.e. gradual) More examples: - Wave device demo Coatings on telescope lenses Acoustic impedance transformer (demo) Bells on horns TOC

  8. An anechoic room Wave energy is dissipated Note lack of reflective surfaces Voice of tour guide TOC

  9. Types of reflections: Fixed ends invert: (demo) Free ends do not: (demo) TOC

  10. Angle of incidence = angle of reflection: Note unusual measure of angle Right angle corners (prisms and Mt. St. Helens center) Demo - laser/physics grooming mirror/Wash. Sq. Mall/sound in corners TOC

  11. Angle of incidence = angle of reflection: TOC

  12. Smooth surfaces vs. rough Every object reflects some light Not always a mirror TOC

  13. Field Trip time: Hallway/commons Lecture hall
