Q1MEDIUMPaper 1standing vs travelling wave驻波与行波对比[4 marks]

Standing wave on a string from an incident wave and its reflection. (a) two conditions for formation; (b) two ways it differs from a travelling wave.弦上由入射波与其反射波形成驻波。(a) 形成的两个条件;(b) 与行波的两点不同。

Answers:答案:  (a) same frequency/wavelength & speed, equal amplitude, opposite directions同频率/波长与波速、等振幅、反向传播  ·  (b) no net energy transfer; amplitude varies with position无净能量传递;振幅随位置变化

(a) Conditions for a standing wave B1·B1

The two waves must have the same frequency (hence the same wavelength and speed on the same medium) and ideally equal amplitude. (B1)

They must travel in opposite directions along the same line, so that they continuously superpose. (B1)

(b) Differences from a travelling wave B1·B1

A standing wave transfers no net energy along the string, whereas a travelling wave carries energy forward. (B1)

In a standing wave the amplitude varies with position (zero at nodes, maximum at antinodes) and all points between adjacent nodes are in phase; in a travelling wave every point has the same amplitude and the phase varies steadily with position. (B1)

Insight. Examiners accept several correct pairs in (b): no net energy transfer, position-dependent amplitude, or in-phase motion between nodes. The single most common error is to claim points in a standing wave have "different phases" within a loop. They do not. They share the time factor $\cos(\omega t)$ and so are in phase; only their amplitudes differ. Keep the two distinguishing features (energy and amplitude) separate from the phase statement.

(a) 驻波形成的条件 B1·B1

两列波必须频率相同(在同一介质上故波长与波速相同),且理想情况下振幅相等。(B1)

它们必须沿同一直线反向传播,从而持续叠加。(B1)

(b) 与行波的不同 B1·B1

驻波沿弦不传递净能量,而行波将能量向前输运。(B1)

驻波中振幅随位置变化(波节为零、波腹最大),且相邻波节间所有点同相;行波中每点振幅相同,相位随位置稳定变化。(B1)

要点。(b) 接受多种正确组合:无净能量传递、振幅随位置变化、或波节间同相运动。最常见的错误是说一个环内驻波各点"相位不同"。它们并非如此:它们共享时间因子 $\cos(\omega t)$ 故同相,只是振幅不同。把两个区分特征(能量与振幅)与相位陈述分开来写。
Q2MEDIUMPaper 1node and antinode geometry波节与波腹的几何[6 marks]

Standing wave: adjacent nodes $0.18\ \mathrm{m}$ apart, wave speed $144\ \mathrm{m\,s^{-1}}$. (a) wavelength; (b) frequency; (c) node-to-antinode distance and phase across a node.驻波:相邻波节相距 $0.18\ \mathrm{m}$,波速 $144\ \mathrm{m\,s^{-1}}$。(a) 波长;(b) 频率;(c) 波节到波腹距离与跨波节的相位。

Answers:答案:  (a) $\lambda = 0.36\ \mathrm{m}$  ·  (b) $f = 400\ \mathrm{Hz}$  ·  (c) $\tfrac{\lambda}{4} = 0.090\ \mathrm{m}$; antiphase across a node跨波节反相

(a) Wavelength M1·A1

Adjacent nodes are half a wavelength apart: $\tfrac{\lambda}{2} = 0.18\ \mathrm{m}$. (M1)

$$ \lambda = 2 \times 0.18 = 0.36\ \mathrm{m}. $$

(A1)

(b) Frequency M1·A1

Use $v = f\lambda$: $f = \dfrac{v}{\lambda} = \dfrac{144}{0.36}$. (M1)

$$ f = 400\ \mathrm{Hz}. $$

(A1)

(c) Node-to-antinode distance and phase A1·A1

A node and the nearest antinode are a quarter wavelength apart: $\tfrac{\lambda}{4} = 0.090\ \mathrm{m}$. (A1)

Two points on opposite sides of a node (in neighbouring loops) oscillate exactly antiphase, that is $\pi$ out of phase. (A1)

Insight. The four spacings worth memorising are node-to-node $= \tfrac{\lambda}{2}$, antinode-to-antinode $= \tfrac{\lambda}{2}$, and node-to-antinode $= \tfrac{\lambda}{4}$. The frequency belongs to the underlying travelling waves, not to the standing pattern, which does not propagate at all. Watch the phase distinction: within one loop points are in phase, but across a node they flip to antiphase, which is exactly what makes neighbouring loops move in opposite directions.

(a) 波长 M1·A1

相邻波节相距半个波长:$\tfrac{\lambda}{2} = 0.18\ \mathrm{m}$。(M1)

$$ \lambda = 2 \times 0.18 = 0.36\ \mathrm{m}. $$

(A1)

(b) 频率 M1·A1

用 $v = f\lambda$:$f = \dfrac{v}{\lambda} = \dfrac{144}{0.36}$。(M1)

$$ f = 400\ \mathrm{Hz}. $$

(A1)

(c) 波节到波腹距离与相位 A1·A1

波节与最近波腹相距四分之一波长:$\tfrac{\lambda}{4} = 0.090\ \mathrm{m}$。(A1)

波节两侧(相邻环内)的两点恰好反相,即相差 $\pi$。(A1)

要点。值得记住的四个间距是波节到波节 $= \tfrac{\lambda}{2}$、波腹到波腹 $= \tfrac{\lambda}{2}$、波节到波腹 $= \tfrac{\lambda}{4}$。频率属于底层行波,而非根本不传播的驻波图样。注意相位区别:同一环内各点同相,但跨过波节就翻转为反相,这正是使相邻环反向运动的原因。
Q3HARDPaper 1string fixed both ends: harmonics两端固定弦的谐波[6 marks]

Wire $L = 0.80\ \mathrm{m}$ fixed both ends, $v = 320\ \mathrm{m\,s^{-1}}$. (a) boundary condition and allowed wavelengths; (b) fundamental and third harmonic; (c) nodes and antinodes in the third harmonic.弦 $L = 0.80\ \mathrm{m}$ 两端固定,$v = 320\ \mathrm{m\,s^{-1}}$。(a) 边界条件与允许波长;(b) 基频与第三谐波;(c) 第三谐波的波节与波腹数。

Answers:答案:  (a) node at each end; $\lambda_n = \tfrac{2L}{n}$两端各为波节;$\lambda_n = \tfrac{2L}{n}$  ·  (b) $f_1 = 200\ \mathrm{Hz}$, $f_3 = 600\ \mathrm{Hz}$  ·  (c) 4 nodes, 3 antinodes4 个波节、3 个波腹

(a) Boundary condition and wavelengths B1·A1

A string fixed at both ends has a node at each end. (B1)

A whole number of half-wavelengths must fit the length: $L = n\tfrac{\lambda_n}{2}$, so $\lambda_n = \dfrac{2L}{n}$, $n = 1,2,3,\dots$ (A1)

(b) Fundamental and third harmonic M1·A1

With $f_n = \dfrac{nv}{2L}$: $f_1 = \dfrac{320}{2(0.80)} = \dfrac{320}{1.60} = 200\ \mathrm{Hz}$. (M1)

$$ f_3 = 3f_1 = 3 \times 200 = 600\ \mathrm{Hz}. $$

(A1)

(c) Nodes and antinodes in the third harmonic A1·A1

The third harmonic has $n = 3$ loops, hence $n + 1 = 4$ nodes counting both fixed ends. (A1)

There is one antinode at the centre of each loop, so there are $3$ antinodes. (A1)

Insight. Counting features is fastest from a sketch: the $n$-th harmonic of a fixed-fixed string has $n$ loops, $n+1$ nodes, and $n$ antinodes. Because both ends are fixed, every integer multiple of $f_1$ is allowed, so the harmonic series is complete ($f_1, 2f_1, 3f_1, \dots$). This is the contrast to test against the closed pipe, which keeps only the odd members of the series.

(a) 边界条件与波长 B1·A1

两端固定的弦在两端各有一个波节。(B1)

整数个半波长须装入弦长:$L = n\tfrac{\lambda_n}{2}$,故 $\lambda_n = \dfrac{2L}{n}$,$n = 1,2,3,\dots$ (A1)

(b) 基频与第三谐波 M1·A1

由 $f_n = \dfrac{nv}{2L}$:$f_1 = \dfrac{320}{2(0.80)} = \dfrac{320}{1.60} = 200\ \mathrm{Hz}$。(M1)

$$ f_3 = 3f_1 = 3 \times 200 = 600\ \mathrm{Hz}. $$

(A1)

(c) 第三谐波的波节与波腹 A1·A1

第三谐波有 $n = 3$ 个环,故含两固定端共 $n + 1 = 4$ 个波节。(A1)

每个环中央有一个波腹,故有 $3$ 个波腹。(A1)

要点。数特征最快靠画图:两端固定弦的第 $n$ 谐波有 $n$ 个环、$n+1$ 个波节、$n$ 个波腹。因两端均固定,$f_1$ 的每个整数倍都允许,谐波列完整($f_1, 2f_1, 3f_1, \dots$)。这正是与闭管对比的关键:闭管只保留谐波列中的奇数项。
Q4HARDPaper 1open and closed pipes开管与闭管[6 marks]

Closed pipe $L = 0.50\ \mathrm{m}$, $v = 340\ \mathrm{m\,s^{-1}}$. (a) boundary conditions and fundamental; (b) next harmonic above the fundamental; (c) open-pipe fundamental and comparison.闭管 $L = 0.50\ \mathrm{m}$,$v = 340\ \mathrm{m\,s^{-1}}$。(a) 边界条件与基频;(b) 基频之上的下一谐波;(c) 开管基频及比较。

Answers:答案:  (a) $f_1 = 170\ \mathrm{Hz}$  ·  (b) $f_3 = 510\ \mathrm{Hz}$  ·  (c) $f_1^{\text{open}} = 340\ \mathrm{Hz}$, double the closed value为闭管值的两倍

(a) Boundary conditions and fundamental B1·A1

The open end is a displacement antinode and the closed end is a displacement node, so the shortest fit is a quarter wavelength and $f_n = \dfrac{nv}{4L}$ with odd $n$. (B1)

$$ f_1 = \frac{(1)(340)}{4(0.50)} = \frac{340}{2.00} = 170\ \mathrm{Hz}. $$

(A1)

(b) Next harmonic M1·A1

A closed pipe skips even harmonics, so the next one above $f_1$ is the third harmonic. (M1)

$$ f_3 = 3f_1 = 3 \times 170 = 510\ \mathrm{Hz}. $$

(A1)

(c) Open-pipe fundamental and comparison M1·A1

An open–open pipe uses $f_1 = \dfrac{v}{2L} = \dfrac{340}{2(0.50)} = 340\ \mathrm{Hz}$. (M1)

This is exactly double the closed-pipe fundamental: closing one end lowers the pitch by an octave. (A1)

Insight. The classic trap is to call $2f_1$ the "next harmonic" of a closed pipe. It does not exist; the series runs $f_1, 3f_1, 5f_1, \dots$, so the next resonance is $3f_1$. Before substituting, always read the end conditions and pick $\tfrac{nv}{2L}$ (both ends the same: fixed-fixed string or open-open pipe) or $\tfrac{nv}{4L}$ (mismatched: one node, one antinode). The factor-of-two octave shift between an open and a closed pipe of equal length is a favourite one-mark comparison.

(a) 边界条件与基频 B1·A1

开口端为位移波腹、闭口端为位移波节,故最短能装下的是四分之一波长,且 $f_n = \dfrac{nv}{4L}$,$n$ 取奇数。(B1)

$$ f_1 = \frac{(1)(340)}{4(0.50)} = \frac{340}{2.00} = 170\ \mathrm{Hz}. $$

(A1)

(b) 下一谐波 M1·A1

闭管跳过偶数谐波,故 $f_1$ 之上的下一个是第三谐波。(M1)

$$ f_3 = 3f_1 = 3 \times 170 = 510\ \mathrm{Hz}. $$

(A1)

(c) 开管基频及比较 M1·A1

开–开管用 $f_1 = \dfrac{v}{2L} = \dfrac{340}{2(0.50)} = 340\ \mathrm{Hz}$。(M1)

这恰为闭管基频的两倍:封闭一端使音调降低一个八度。(A1)

要点。经典陷阱是把 $2f_1$ 当成闭管的"下一谐波"。它并不存在;谐波列为 $f_1, 3f_1, 5f_1, \dots$,故下一个共振是 $3f_1$。代入前务必先读两端条件并选 $\tfrac{nv}{2L}$(两端相同:两端固定弦或开–开管)或 $\tfrac{nv}{4L}$(不对称:一波节一波腹)。等长开管与闭管之间相差一个八度(两倍)是常见的一分比较题。
Q5HARDPaper 1resonance and damping共振与阻尼[8 marks]

Driven mass-spring, natural frequency $f_0$, driving frequency $f_d$ variable. (a) define resonance and its condition; (b) steady-state frequency when $f_d \neq f_0$; (c) effect of increasing damping on the resonance curve; (d) one useful and one hazardous example.受迫弹簧振子,固有频率 $f_0$,驱动频率 $f_d$ 可变。(a) 定义共振及条件;(b) $f_d \neq f_0$ 时稳态频率;(c) 增大阻尼对共振曲线的影响;(d) 一个有用、一个有害的例子。

Answers:答案:  (a) max amplitude at $f_d = f_0$$f_d = f_0$ 时振幅最大  ·  (b) $f_d$  ·  (c) lower, broader peak shifted slightly below $f_0$峰更低更宽并略移到 $f_0$ 之下  ·  (d) useful: tuning a radio; hazard: bridge sway有用:调收音机;有害:桥梁摆动

(a) Definition and condition A1·A1

Resonance is the large-amplitude response that occurs when energy is transferred most efficiently from the driver to the system. (A1)

It occurs when the driving frequency equals a natural frequency of the system: $f_d = f_0$. (A1)

(b) Steady-state frequency A1·R1

In the steady state a forced oscillator oscillates at the driving frequency $f_d$, not at its own natural frequency. (A1)

The natural frequency only governs how large the response is (how close $f_d$ is to $f_0$ sets the amplitude), not the frequency of oscillation. (R1)

(c) Effect of increased damping A1·A1

Increasing the damping lowers the peak amplitude and broadens it, because energy is dissipated faster. (A1)

The peak also shifts to a slightly lower frequency than $f_0$. (A1)

(d) Useful and hazardous examples B1·B1

Useful: tuning a radio so its circuit resonates with one broadcast frequency (or pushing a swing at its natural frequency). (B1)

Hazardous: wind or footfall driving a bridge or building near a natural frequency, as in the Tacoma Narrows or Millennium Bridge, against which engineers add dampers. (B1)

Insight. The mark-grabbing distinction is that a driven system always oscillates at $f_d$; only the amplitude knows about $f_0$. Many candidates wrongly write that the system oscillates at $f_0$. For the damping sketch, state both effects (lower and broader) and the small downward shift of the peak. Damping does not move the natural frequency itself; it controls how violently the system responds there, which is the entire engineering point of adding dampers to structures.

(a) 定义与条件 A1·A1

共振是当能量从驱动者向系统传递效率最高时出现的大振幅响应。(A1)

它发生在驱动频率等于系统某固有频率时:$f_d = f_0$。(A1)

(b) 稳态频率 A1·R1

稳态下受迫振子以驱动频率 $f_d$ 振动,而非自身固有频率。(A1)

固有频率只决定响应有多大($f_d$ 与 $f_0$ 的接近程度决定振幅),而不决定振动频率。(R1)

(c) 增大阻尼的影响 A1·A1

增大阻尼降低峰值振幅并使其展宽,因为能量耗散更快。(A1)

峰也移向略低于 $f_0$ 的频率。(A1)

(d) 有用与有害的例子 B1·B1

有用:调收音机使电路与某一广播频率共振(或以固有频率推秋千)。(B1)

有害:风或脚步以接近固有频率驱动桥梁或建筑,如塔科马海峡大桥或千禧桥,工程师为此加装阻尼器。(B1)

要点。拿分关键是受迫系统始终以 $f_d$ 振动,只有振幅与 $f_0$ 有关。许多考生错写系统以 $f_0$ 振动。画阻尼图时要写出两个效应(更低且更宽)与峰的小幅下移。阻尼并不移动固有频率本身,而是决定系统在该处响应的剧烈程度,这正是为结构加装阻尼器的全部意义。

Q6HARDPaper 1Blinearised f vs 1/L for a pipe管的 f 对 1/L 线性化[12 marks]

Open–open pipe; fundamental $f$ measured for several lengths $L$; $f$ vs $1/L$ data given. (a) show $f$ vs $1/L$ is linear through the origin and state the gradient; (b) gradient and speed of sound; (c) percentage uncertainty in $f$ at $L = 0.20$; (d) factor change if one end is closed; (e) one systematic error.开–开管;对若干长度 $L$ 测量基频 $f$;给出 $f$ 对 $1/L$ 的数据。(a) 证明 $f$ 对 $1/L$ 过原点线性并说明斜率;(b) 斜率与声速;(c) $L = 0.20$ 处 $f$ 的百分比不确定度;(d) 一端封闭时改变的倍数;(e) 一个系统误差。

Answers:答案:  (a) $f = \tfrac{v}{2}\cdot\tfrac{1}{L}$, gradient $= \tfrac{v}{2}$  ·  (b) gradient $= 170\ \mathrm{m\,s^{-1}}$, $v = 340\ \mathrm{m\,s^{-1}}$  ·  (c) $\approx 1\%$  ·  (d) halved (factor $\tfrac{1}{2}$)减半($\tfrac{1}{2}$ 倍)  ·  (e) end correction端修正

(a) Why $f$ vs $1/L$ is linear through the origin M1·A1·A1

For an open–open pipe the fundamental is $f = \dfrac{v}{2L}$. (M1)

$$ f = \frac{v}{2}\cdot\frac{1}{L}. $$

This has the form $f = (\text{gradient})\times\tfrac{1}{L}$ with no intercept, so $f$ against $1/L$ is a straight line through the origin. (A1)

Comparing with $y = mx$, the gradient is $\dfrac{v}{2}$. (A1)

(b) Gradient and speed of sound M1·A1·A1

Read the gradient from two well-separated points, e.g. $(1.00,\,170)$ and $(5.00,\,850)$: (M1)

$$ \text{gradient} = \frac{850 - 170}{5.00 - 1.00} = \frac{680}{4.00} = 170\ \mathrm{m\,s^{-1}}. $$

(A1)

Since the gradient equals $\tfrac{v}{2}$: $v = 2 \times 170 = 340\ \mathrm{m\,s^{-1}}$. (A1)

(c) Percentage uncertainty at $L = 0.20\ \mathrm{m}$ M1·A1

At that point $f = 850\ \mathrm{Hz}$ with absolute uncertainty $\pm 10\ \mathrm{Hz}$: (M1)

$$ \frac{10}{850}\times 100\% \approx 1.18\% \approx 1\%. $$

(A1)

(d) Effect of closing one end M1·A1

A closed pipe has $f_1 = \dfrac{v}{4L}$, which is half of $\dfrac{v}{2L}$. (M1)

So at every length the fundamental falls to one half of its open-pipe value (a factor of $\tfrac{1}{2}$). (A1)

(e) A systematic error B1·R1

The end correction: the displacement antinode lies slightly beyond the open end, so the effective length exceeds the measured $L$. (B1)

This makes every measured frequency consistently a little lower than the ideal $\tfrac{v}{2L}$, a systematic rather than random shift. (R1)

Insight. Linearising is the central skill: rearrange the physics so the unknown ($v$) sits in the gradient of a straight line, because a best-fit gradient averages out scatter far better than any single point. Mark the gradient down to its physical meaning $\tfrac{v}{2}$, not just a number. The end correction is the standard systematic error for pipe experiments; because it adds a fixed length, its effect shrinks in percentage terms as $L$ grows, which is why long pipes give more accurate values of $v$.

(a) 为何 $f$ 对 $1/L$ 过原点线性 M1·A1·A1

开–开管的基频为 $f = \dfrac{v}{2L}$。(M1)

$$ f = \frac{v}{2}\cdot\frac{1}{L}. $$

此式形如 $f = (\text{斜率})\times\tfrac{1}{L}$,无截距,故 $f$ 对 $1/L$ 为过原点的直线。(A1)

与 $y = mx$ 比较,斜率为 $\dfrac{v}{2}$。(A1)

(b) 斜率与声速 M1·A1·A1

用相距较远的两点读斜率,如 $(1.00,\,170)$ 与 $(5.00,\,850)$:(M1)

$$ \text{斜率} = \frac{850 - 170}{5.00 - 1.00} = \frac{680}{4.00} = 170\ \mathrm{m\,s^{-1}}. $$

(A1)

因斜率等于 $\tfrac{v}{2}$:$v = 2 \times 170 = 340\ \mathrm{m\,s^{-1}}$。(A1)

(c) $L = 0.20\ \mathrm{m}$ 处的百分比不确定度 M1·A1

该点 $f = 850\ \mathrm{Hz}$,绝对不确定度 $\pm 10\ \mathrm{Hz}$:(M1)

$$ \frac{10}{850}\times 100\% \approx 1.18\% \approx 1\%. $$

(A1)

(d) 封闭一端的影响 M1·A1

闭管基频为 $f_1 = \dfrac{v}{4L}$,是 $\dfrac{v}{2L}$ 的一半。(M1)

故每个长度下基频都降为开管值的一半($\tfrac{1}{2}$ 倍)。(A1)

(e) 一个系统误差 B1·R1

端修正:位移波腹略在开口端之外,故有效长度大于所测 $L$。(B1)

这使每个所测频率都系统性地略低于理想的 $\tfrac{v}{2L}$,是系统偏移而非随机。(R1)

要点。线性化是核心技能:把物理量重排,使未知量($v$)落在直线斜率上,因为最佳拟合斜率比任何单点都更能平均掉散布。把斜率写到其物理含义 $\tfrac{v}{2}$,而不仅是一个数。端修正是管实验的标准系统误差;因为它加上一段固定长度,其百分比影响随 $L$ 增大而减小,这正是长管给出更准确 $v$ 值的原因。
Q7HARDPaper 1Bharmonic series: f vs n graph谐波列:f 对 n 图[12 marks]

String $L = 0.60\ \mathrm{m}$ fixed both ends; resonant $f$ vs harmonic number $n$ data given. (a) why $f$ vs $n$ is linear through the origin; (b) gradient and its meaning; (c) wave speed; (d) new fundamental and graph change when tension is quadrupled, given $v = \sqrt{T/\mu}$.弦 $L = 0.60\ \mathrm{m}$ 两端固定;给出共振 $f$ 对谐波次数 $n$ 的数据。(a) 为何 $f$ 对 $n$ 过原点线性;(b) 斜率及含义;(c) 波速;(d) 张力变四倍时(已知 $v = \sqrt{T/\mu}$)的新基频与图的变化。

Answers:答案:  (a) $f = \tfrac{v}{2L}\,n$  ·  (b) gradient $= 200\ \mathrm{Hz} = f_1$  ·  (c) $v = 240\ \mathrm{m\,s^{-1}}$  ·  (d) $f_1 = 400\ \mathrm{Hz}$, gradient doubles斜率加倍

(a) Why $f$ vs $n$ is linear through the origin M1·A1

For a fixed-fixed string $f_n = \dfrac{nv}{2L} = \left(\dfrac{v}{2L}\right)n$. (M1)

This is of the form $f = (\text{constant})\times n$ with no intercept, so the graph is a straight line through the origin. (A1)

(b) Gradient and its meaning M1·A1·A1

Read the gradient from two points, e.g. $(1,\,200)$ and $(5,\,1000)$: (M1)

$$ \text{gradient} = \frac{1000 - 200}{5 - 1} = \frac{800}{4} = 200\ \mathrm{Hz}. $$

(A1)

The gradient equals $\dfrac{v}{2L}$, which is the fundamental frequency $f_1 = 200\ \mathrm{Hz}$. (A1)

(c) Wave speed M1·M1·A1

The gradient is $\dfrac{v}{2L}$, so $v = 2L \times \text{gradient}$. (M1)

$$ v = 2(0.60)(200) = 1.20 \times 200. $$

(M1 for substitution)

$$ v = 240\ \mathrm{m\,s^{-1}}. $$

(A1)

(d) Quadrupled tension M1·A1·A1·R1

Wave speed: $v = \sqrt{T/\mu}$, so quadrupling $T$ multiplies $v$ by $\sqrt{4} = 2$, giving $v' = 480\ \mathrm{m\,s^{-1}}$. (M1)

The new fundamental is $f_1' = \dfrac{v'}{2L} = \dfrac{480}{1.20} = 400\ \mathrm{Hz}$, double the original. (A1·A1)

Since the gradient of the $f$–$n$ graph is $f_1$, the line stays straight through the origin but its gradient doubles (it becomes steeper). (R1)

Insight. When the data are already pure harmonics, plotting $f$ against $n$ makes the fundamental fall straight out as the gradient, an elegant cross-check of $f_1$ independent of any single reading. The tension result hinges on the square root: frequency scales as $\sqrt{T}$, so four times the tension gives only twice the frequency, the relationship a string player uses every time they tune. Carrying the $\sqrt{\,}$ rather than assuming a linear scaling is what separates full marks from a halved answer.

(a) 为何 $f$ 对 $n$ 过原点线性 M1·A1

两端固定弦 $f_n = \dfrac{nv}{2L} = \left(\dfrac{v}{2L}\right)n$。(M1)

此式形如 $f = (\text{常数})\times n$,无截距,故图为过原点的直线。(A1)

(b) 斜率及含义 M1·A1·A1

用两点读斜率,如 $(1,\,200)$ 与 $(5,\,1000)$:(M1)

$$ \text{斜率} = \frac{1000 - 200}{5 - 1} = \frac{800}{4} = 200\ \mathrm{Hz}. $$

(A1)

斜率等于 $\dfrac{v}{2L}$,即基频 $f_1 = 200\ \mathrm{Hz}$。(A1)

(c) 波速 M1·M1·A1

斜率为 $\dfrac{v}{2L}$,故 $v = 2L \times \text{斜率}$。(M1)

$$ v = 2(0.60)(200) = 1.20 \times 200. $$

(代入得 M1)

$$ v = 240\ \mathrm{m\,s^{-1}}. $$

(d) 张力变四倍 M1·A1·A1·R1

波速 $v = \sqrt{T/\mu}$,张力变四倍使 $v$ 变为 $\sqrt{4} = 2$ 倍,得 $v' = 480\ \mathrm{m\,s^{-1}}$。(M1)

新基频 $f_1' = \dfrac{v'}{2L} = \dfrac{480}{1.20} = 400\ \mathrm{Hz}$,为原来的两倍。(A1·A1)

因 $f$–$n$ 图的斜率即 $f_1$,直线仍过原点保持笔直,但斜率加倍(变陡)。(R1)

要点。当数据已是纯谐波时,作 $f$ 对 $n$ 图能让基频直接以斜率呈现,是独立于任何单一读数的 $f_1$ 优雅校验。张力结果的关键在平方根:频率按 $\sqrt{T}$ 缩放,故四倍张力只给两倍频率,这正是弦乐演奏者每次调音所用的关系。保留 $\sqrt{\,}$ 而非误用线性缩放,正是满分与减半答案的分界。

Q8HARDPaper 2guitar string: superposition to harmonics吉他弦:从叠加到谐波[14 marks]

Guitar string $L = 0.65\ \mathrm{m}$ fixed both ends, $v = 260\ \mathrm{m\,s^{-1}}$. (a) show superposition gives $y = 2A\sin(kx)\cos(\omega t)$ and identify the amplitude factor; (b) show nodes are $\tfrac{\lambda}{2}$ apart; (c) fundamental frequency and third-harmonic wavelength; (d) why no net energy is transferred; (e) new fundamental at $L = 0.49\ \mathrm{m}$.吉他弦 $L = 0.65\ \mathrm{m}$ 两端固定,$v = 260\ \mathrm{m\,s^{-1}}$。(a) 证明叠加给出 $y = 2A\sin(kx)\cos(\omega t)$ 并指出振幅因子;(b) 证明波节相距 $\tfrac{\lambda}{2}$;(c) 基频与第三谐波波长;(d) 为何不传递净能量;(e) $L = 0.49\ \mathrm{m}$ 时的新基频。

Answers:答案:  (a) amplitude factor $2A\sin(kx)$振幅因子 $2A\sin(kx)$  ·  (b) $\Delta x = \tfrac{\lambda}{2}$  ·  (c) $f_1 = 200\ \mathrm{Hz}$, $\lambda_3 \approx 0.43\ \mathrm{m}$  ·  (e) $f_1' \approx 265\ \mathrm{Hz}$

(a) Superposition M1·A1·A1

Add the two waves and apply $\sin P + \sin Q = 2\sin\tfrac{P+Q}{2}\cos\tfrac{P-Q}{2}$ with $P = kx - \omega t$, $Q = kx + \omega t$: (M1)

$$ y = A\sin(kx-\omega t) + A\sin(kx+\omega t) = 2A\sin(kx)\cos(\omega t). $$

(A1)

The position factor $2A\sin(kx)$ fixes the amplitude at each point $x$; the factor $\cos(\omega t)$ only sets the common time oscillation. (A1)

(b) Node spacing M1·M1·A1

A node is a permanently stationary point, so $2A\sin(kx) = 0$, giving $kx = n\pi$ and $x = \dfrac{n\pi}{k}$. (M1)

Using $k = \dfrac{2\pi}{\lambda}$, consecutive nodes are separated by (M1)

$$ \Delta x = \frac{(n+1)\pi}{k} - \frac{n\pi}{k} = \frac{\pi}{k} = \frac{\pi}{2\pi/\lambda} = \frac{\lambda}{2}. $$

(A1)

(c) Fundamental and third-harmonic wavelength M1·A1·A1

Fundamental: $f_1 = \dfrac{v}{2L} = \dfrac{260}{2(0.65)} = \dfrac{260}{1.30} = 200\ \mathrm{Hz}$. (M1·A1)

Third-harmonic wavelength: $\lambda_3 = \dfrac{2L}{3} = \dfrac{1.30}{3} \approx 0.43\ \mathrm{m}$. (A1)

(d) No net energy transfer R1·R1·A1

The standing wave is the sum of two equal travelling waves carrying equal energy in opposite directions, so their energy flows cancel and the net flow is zero. (R1)

Energy is not lost but stored: it oscillates between kinetic (maximum at the antinodes as the string passes through equilibrium) and elastic potential (maximum at full displacement). (R1)

Because a node never moves, no energy can pass across it, so energy stays trapped within each loop. (A1)

(e) New fundamental at $L = 0.49\ \mathrm{m}$ M1·A1

Same wave speed, shorter length: $f_1' = \dfrac{v}{2L'} = \dfrac{260}{2(0.49)} = \dfrac{260}{0.98}$. (M1)

$$ f_1' \approx 265\ \mathrm{Hz}. $$

(A1)

Insight. Part (a) is the one place trigonometry earns physics marks: the sum-to-product identity separates space from time, and that separation is what freezes the pattern. The amplitude lives entirely in $2A\sin(kx)$. In (d) the examiner wants the cancellation of two energy flows plus the kinetic-potential exchange, not a vague "the wave stays still". Pressing a fret shortens $L$ at fixed $v$, so pitch rises as $1/L$: this is the same lever as the tension result, approached from the length side.

(a) 叠加 M1·A1·A1

把两列波相加并用 $\sin P + \sin Q = 2\sin\tfrac{P+Q}{2}\cos\tfrac{P-Q}{2}$,取 $P = kx - \omega t$、$Q = kx + \omega t$:(M1)

$$ y = A\sin(kx-\omega t) + A\sin(kx+\omega t) = 2A\sin(kx)\cos(\omega t). $$

(A1)

位置因子 $2A\sin(kx)$ 固定每个点 $x$ 的振幅;$\cos(\omega t)$ 只设定共同的时间振荡。(A1)

(b) 波节间距 M1·M1·A1

波节是始终静止的点,故 $2A\sin(kx) = 0$,得 $kx = n\pi$、$x = \dfrac{n\pi}{k}$。(M1)

用 $k = \dfrac{2\pi}{\lambda}$,相邻波节相距 (M1)

$$ \Delta x = \frac{(n+1)\pi}{k} - \frac{n\pi}{k} = \frac{\pi}{k} = \frac{\pi}{2\pi/\lambda} = \frac{\lambda}{2}. $$

(A1)

(c) 基频与第三谐波波长 M1·A1·A1

基频:$f_1 = \dfrac{v}{2L} = \dfrac{260}{2(0.65)} = \dfrac{260}{1.30} = 200\ \mathrm{Hz}$。(M1·A1)

第三谐波波长:$\lambda_3 = \dfrac{2L}{3} = \dfrac{1.30}{3} \approx 0.43\ \mathrm{m}$。(A1)

(d) 无净能量传递 R1·R1·A1

驻波是两列等幅行波之和,它们沿相反方向携带等量能量,故能量流相消、净流为零。(R1)

能量并未损失而是被储存:在动能(弦经过平衡位置时波腹处最大)与弹性势能(最大位移处最大)之间振荡。(R1)

由于波节从不移动,能量无法越过它,故能量被困在每个环内。(A1)

(e) $L = 0.49\ \mathrm{m}$ 时的新基频 M1·A1

波速不变、长度变短:$f_1' = \dfrac{v}{2L'} = \dfrac{260}{2(0.49)} = \dfrac{260}{0.98}$。(M1)

$$ f_1' \approx 265\ \mathrm{Hz}. $$

(A1)

要点。(a) 是三角恒等式为物理拿分的唯一之处:和差化积把空间与时间分离,而这种分离正是使波形定格的原因。振幅完全藏在 $2A\sin(kx)$ 中。(d) 阅卷要的是两股能量流相消加上动能-势能交换,而非含糊的"波静止"。按品在波速不变下缩短 $L$,故音调按 $1/L$ 升高:这与张力结果是同一杠杆,只是从长度一侧切入。
Q9HARDPaper 2resonance tube + damping共振管与阻尼[12 marks]

Resonance tube closed at the water surface, open at the top; tuning fork $480\ \mathrm{Hz}$, $v = 340\ \mathrm{m\,s^{-1}}$. (a) why loud sound only at certain lengths; (b) shortest resonant length; (c) next two lengths and the spacing; (d) role of damping and whether light or heavy damping makes a resonance easier to locate.共振管在水面处闭口、顶部开口;音叉 $480\ \mathrm{Hz}$,$v = 340\ \mathrm{m\,s^{-1}}$。(a) 为何只在某些长度处声音响亮;(b) 最短共振长度;(c) 接下来两个长度与间距;(d) 阻尼的作用以及轻阻尼还是重阻尼更易定位共振。

Answers:答案:  (a) resonance at $f_d = f_0$$f_d = f_0$ 时共振  ·  (b) $L_1 \approx 0.177\ \mathrm{m}$  ·  (c) $L_2 \approx 0.531\ \mathrm{m}$, $L_3 \approx 0.885\ \mathrm{m}$; spacing $\tfrac{\lambda}{2} \approx 0.354\ \mathrm{m}$  ·  (d) light damping sharpens the peak轻阻尼使峰更尖

(a) Why loud only at certain lengths M1·A1

The air column has its own natural frequencies, set by its length and the open/closed boundary conditions. (M1)

A loud sound (resonance) is heard only when a natural frequency of the column matches the fork frequency, $f_0 = f_d = 480\ \mathrm{Hz}$, so only certain lengths resonate. (A1)

(b) Shortest resonant length M1·M1·A1

The column is closed at the water and open at the top, so the fundamental fit is $L = \dfrac{\lambda}{4}$. First find the wavelength: $\lambda = \dfrac{v}{f} = \dfrac{340}{480} \approx 0.7083\ \mathrm{m}$. (M1)

Then $L_1 = \dfrac{\lambda}{4}$: (M1)

$$ L_1 = \frac{0.7083}{4} \approx 0.177\ \mathrm{m}. $$

(A1)

(c) Next two lengths and the spacing M1·A1·A1·A1

A closed column resonates at odd quarter-wavelengths, $L_n = \dfrac{(2m-1)\lambda}{4}$, so the next two are the $\tfrac{3\lambda}{4}$ and $\tfrac{5\lambda}{4}$ fits. (M1)

$$ L_2 = \frac{3\lambda}{4} = 3(0.177) \approx 0.531\ \mathrm{m}, \qquad L_3 = \frac{5\lambda}{4} = 5(0.177) \approx 0.885\ \mathrm{m}. $$

(A1·A1)

Successive resonant lengths differ by $\dfrac{\lambda}{2} = \dfrac{0.7083}{2} \approx 0.354\ \mathrm{m}$. (A1)

(d) Role of damping M1·A1·R1

Damping (here mainly sound energy radiated away and lost to the tube walls and air) removes energy from the resonating column, limiting the peak loudness. (M1)

Light damping gives a tall, narrow resonance peak; heavy damping gives a low, broad one. (A1)

A narrow peak means the loudness rises and falls sharply with length, so light damping makes the resonant length easier to pinpoint; heavy damping spreads the response over a range of lengths and blurs it. (R1)

Insight. The resonance-tube experiment is the standard way to measure the speed of sound: the difference between successive resonant lengths is exactly $\tfrac{\lambda}{2}$, so $v = 2f(L_2 - L_1)$ sidesteps the end correction entirely (the unknown extra length cancels in the subtraction). That is why examiners prefer the spacing method to using $L_1$ alone. On damping, the sharper the peak the better the resolution, which is the same reason a high-quality tuning circuit (light damping, high Q) selects one radio station cleanly.

(a) 为何只在某些长度处响亮 M1·A1

空气柱有自己的固有频率,由其长度与开/闭边界条件决定。(M1)

只有当空气柱的某固有频率与音叉频率匹配时,$f_0 = f_d = 480\ \mathrm{Hz}$,才听到响亮的声音(共振),故只有某些长度共振。(A1)

(b) 最短共振长度 M1·M1·A1

空气柱在水面闭口、顶部开口,故基频对应 $L = \dfrac{\lambda}{4}$。先求波长:$\lambda = \dfrac{v}{f} = \dfrac{340}{480} \approx 0.7083\ \mathrm{m}$。(M1)

再求 $L_1 = \dfrac{\lambda}{4}$:(M1)

$$ L_1 = \frac{0.7083}{4} \approx 0.177\ \mathrm{m}. $$

(A1)

(c) 接下来两个长度与间距 M1·A1·A1·A1

闭口空气柱在奇数个四分之一波长处共振,$L_n = \dfrac{(2m-1)\lambda}{4}$,故接下来两个是 $\tfrac{3\lambda}{4}$ 与 $\tfrac{5\lambda}{4}$。(M1)

$$ L_2 = \frac{3\lambda}{4} = 3(0.177) \approx 0.531\ \mathrm{m}, \qquad L_3 = \frac{5\lambda}{4} = 5(0.177) \approx 0.885\ \mathrm{m}. $$

(A1·A1)

相邻共振长度相差 $\dfrac{\lambda}{2} = \dfrac{0.7083}{2} \approx 0.354\ \mathrm{m}$。(A1)

(d) 阻尼的作用 M1·A1·R1

阻尼(这里主要是辐射出去并被管壁与空气损耗的声能)从共振空气柱移走能量,限制峰值响度。(M1)

轻阻尼给出高而窄的共振峰;重阻尼给出低而宽的峰。(A1)

窄峰意味响度随长度急升急降,故轻阻尼使共振长度更易精确定位;重阻尼把响应铺展到一段长度范围而使其模糊。(R1)

要点。共振管实验是测声速的标准方法:相邻共振长度之差恰为 $\tfrac{\lambda}{2}$,故 $v = 2f(L_2 - L_1)$ 完全绕开端修正(未知的额外长度在相减中抵消)。这正是阅卷偏好间距法而非单用 $L_1$ 的原因。关于阻尼,峰越尖分辨越好,这与高品质调谐电路(轻阻尼、高 Q)能干净地选出一个电台是同一道理。
