The exam is comprehensive. You should review all of the material on the other exams. Chapter 7 is the only new chapter. A summary is below. One page of hand-written notes is permitted. You must make your own notes. Calculators are also allowed.

Periodic motion, simple harmonic motion, clocks, pendulums, bouncing springs, musical instruments (violin strings and organ pipes), the tides, water waves.

Equations:

There are no equations in this chapter, but it is worth remembering a few facts...

The wavelength times the frequency of a wave equals its velocity of travel.

The frequency of simple harmonic motion is independent of the amplitude.

The frequency of a mass on a spring is proportional to square root of the spring constant over the mass.

The frequency of a pendulum is proportional to the square root of the length divided by the acceleration due to gravity.

The frequency of a vibrating string increases when you decrease its mass, increase its tension, or shorten it.

Large amplitude or long wavelength water waves travel fastest.

Units:

The SI unit of frequency is the Hertz (Hz), or 1/second.
