When you studied mechanics, you probably learned about the harmonic oscillator. We will begin our study of wave phenomena by reviewing this simple but important physical system. Consider a block with mass, m, free to slide on a frictionless air-track, but attached to a light1 Hooke’s law spring with its other end attached to a fixed wall.

In this chapter we will discuss several di↵erent approaches for obtaining the equations of motion (EOM’s) of systems for which the mass, damping and sti↵ness components appear in discrete components. These EOM’s will be ordinary di↵erential equations which describe the motion of the system.

In order to simplify our description of how sound can be reflected when hitting different surfaces, we can imagine the propagation of sound as being described by “rays” of sound originating from a source (a visualization also used for light rays).

(5.1) In this chapter we are going to develop a simple linear wave equation for sound propagation in fluids (1D). In reality the acoustic wave equation is nonlinear and therefore more complicated than what we will look at in this chapter.

The quantum mechanical Dirac equation is a deterministic equation describing the evolution of spin angular momentum density (or spin density). Therefore an understanding of the classical physics description of spin density is a logical prerequisite for understanding quantum mechanics. This paper outlines how a classical wave theory of spin density can be used to describe particle-like waves ...

The solution of a vibration problem can be viewed as an input/output relation – where the force is the input and the output is the vibration. Representing the force and vibration in the frequency domain (magnitude and phase) allows the following relation:
