Course description
After reviewing the basics of harmonic oscillation, its principal is applied to understand coupled oscillation and normal oscillation. Then we learn about the phenomena of wave motion. With the one-dimensional wave, important phenomena such as reflection, standing wave, and natural vibration are explained. We further proceed to two and three-dimensional waves, where Huygens' principle, refraction, and diffraction are important topics to understand. Frequent mentions are to be made about the application to the physical phenomena in our daily life and the connections to material science.
Expected Learning
1. Solve the equation of motion of oscillatory phenomena under existence of friction and external force.
2. Understand the influence of frequency on amplitude and phase in the phenomena of forced oscillation.
3. Give a qualitative description of the beat of two oscillations.
4. Solve the motion equation of coupled oscillation, and derive its normal mode.
5. Give a qualitative description of wave motion and understand the relation between speed, frequency and wavenumber.
