If the spring is hung vertically, the only change is in the equilibrium position, which is at the point where the spring force equals the gravitational force.
Any vibrating system where the restoring force is proportional to the negative of the displacement is in simple harmonic motion (SHM), and is often called a simple harmonic oscillator.
The total mechanical energy will be conserved, as we are assuming the system is frictionless.

The top curve is a graph of the previous equation. The bottom curve is the same, but shifted period so that it is a sine function rather than a cosine.

So, as long as the cord can be considered massless and the amplitude is small, the period does not depend on the mass.
Like damping, resonance can be wanted or unwanted. Musical instruments and TV/radio receivers depend on it.
A wave travels along its medium, but the individual particles just move up and down.
The motion of particles in a wave can either be perpendicular to the wave direction (transverse) or parallel to it (longitudinal).
Then, assuming the entire medium has the same density, we find: (11-17) Therefore, the intensity is proportional to the square of the frequency and to the square of the amplitude.
A wave hitting an obstacle will be reflected (a), and its reflection will be inverted.
A wave encountering a denser medium will be partly reflected and partly transmitted; if the wave speed is less in the denser medium, the wavelength will be shorter.
The frequencies of the standing waves on a particular string are called resonant frequencies. They are also referred to as the fundamental and harmonics.

11-14 Refraction
If the wave enters a medium where the wave speed is different, it will be refracted its wave fronts and rays will change direction. We can calculate the angle of refraction, which depends on both wave speeds:

11-14 Refraction
The law of refraction works both ways a wave going from a slower medium to a faster one would follow the red line in the other direction.
11-15 Diffraction
When waves encounter an obstacle, they bend around it, leaving a shadow region. This is called diffraction.
11-15 Diffraction
The amount of diffraction depends on the size of the obstacle compared to the wavelength. If the obstacle is much smaller than the wavelength, the wave is barely affected (a). If the object is comparable to, or larger than, the wavelength, diffraction is much more significant (b, c, d).
To the left, we have a snapshot of a traveling wave at a single point in time. Below left, the same wave is shown traveling.
Summary of Chapter 11
For SHM, the restoring force is proportional to the displacement. The period is the time required for one cycle, and the frequency is the number of cycles per second. Period for a mass on a spring: SHM is sinusoidal. During SHM, the total energy is continually changing from kinetic to potential and back.
Summary of Chapter 11
A simple pendulum approximates SHM if its amplitude is not large. Its period in that case is:
When friction is present, the motion is damped. If an oscillating force is applied to a SHO, its amplitude depends on how close to the natural frequency the driving frequency is. If it is close, the amplitude becomes quite large. This is called resonance.
Summary of Chapter 11
Vibrating objects are sources of waves, which may be either a pulse or continuous. Wavelength: distance between successive crests. Frequency: number of crests that pass a given point per unit time. Amplitude: maximum height of crest. Wave velocity:

Summary of Chapter 11
When two waves pass through the same region of space, they interfere. Interference may be either constructive or destructive. Standing waves can be produced on a string with both ends fixed. The waves that persist are at the resonant frequencies. Nodes occur where there is no motion; antinodes where the amplitude is maximum. Waves refract when entering a medium of different wave speed, and diffract around obstacles.
