Waves and Wave Motion - 0 views

      Simple, direct tutorial on waves.
  • Waves can take many forms, but there are two fundamental types of waves: “longitudinal” and “transverse” (see Figures 1 and 2).
    • ChemPaths UW-Madison
       
      We didn't talk about this in class, but it helps explain why some waves can't even be seen moving - like longitudinal waves in the stones during earthquakes!

    Excellent site on wave mechanics and the history of how we think about waves. Mostly about liquid waves.

      Interesting way to understand wave mechanics.

      This reminds me of the video in lecture. However, I really like the way the applet shows how waves work in what looks like a crystal lattice.

      When a wave is confined to a specific place, only certain wavelengths--those that can fit the space available--are allowed. These allowed waves reflect from the boundaries of the space and the reflection reinforces the original wave (constructive interference). All other wavelengths cancel each other out by destructive interference.

      Has anyone determined the pattern in the frequencies for the videos?

    • Jongmin Lee
       
      As the wave frequency is increased, the wavelength decreases.
    • Justin Shorb
       
      Yes - what do you think this will end up meaning for relating color of light to energy of light? What does a long wavelength mean?

      1-D Vs. 2-D Waves
    • Justin Shorb
       
      Which of these waves was 1D and which 2D?

  • It will produce a loud sound when a resonant frequency is reached.
    • Alex Schwartz
       
      Loud sound also produced by resonant frequencies...notice, resonant light waves produce visibly pleasing results while sound waves produce audibly noticable results.
    • Justin Shorb
       
      Yes, and resonate frequencies can produce non-pleasing results - the age old "shattering wine glass" which happens when an opera singer hits just the right 'resonating' high pitch!

Biodegradable plastics made from corn - 0 views

  • Biodegradable plastics have already been created by using proteins from plants such as corn or soy. But they were not strong enough to be used by the industry. Now, researchers at Iowa State University have found a way to reinforce these biorenewable plastics. They are using high-powered ultrasonics to reinforce the plastics with nanoclays.
  • But how biodegradable plastics can be made with corn proteins? Grewell keeps a plastic model of a molecule looking like a ball. That's about the shape of a soy or corn protein […] Then he unfolded the model into a long, straight loop. That's what happens when researchers add some glycerin — a byproduct of biodiesel production – and some water to the molecule.
  • Nanoclays are clays from the smectite family which have a unique morphology: they form platelets about 1 nanometer thick and 100 nanometers in diameter. Below is an example of the structure of one nanoclay raw material named montmorillonite.
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • Apparently, it's difficult to use these nanoclays. So the researchers turned to "high-powered ultrasonics — high-frequency sound waves too high for human hearing – to separate and disperse the platelets."

      This is a fairly large PDF file, but it has some good visual information!

    Great PDF talking about light. Good images of how to go from wavelength to sizes of various objects.
