Waves A wave is a rhythmic disturbance that transmits ENERGY through matter or space. Waves carry energy NOT matter. A wave exists as long as it has energy to carry

WAVES CARRY ENERGY Not Matter A wave is a rhythmic disturbance or movement that transfers energy through matter or space WAVES CARRY ENERGY Not Matter A wave exists as long as it has energy to carry

What is a Medium? A substance through which a wave can travel Water People Air Coiled wire

What is a Mechanical Wave? A wave that requires a medium Examples: Sound Water

Mechanical Waves must have matter to Travel through.

Kinds of Waves: Transverse Waves In a transverse wave, the medium (the material the wave is in) moves back and forth at right angles to the direction the wave travels.

2. Compression Waves In compression waves, matter in the medium moves back and forth in the same direction that the wave travels. Sound Waves are Compression Waves.

Parts of a Transverse Wave Crest – The highest points of a transverse wave. Trough – The lowest points on a transverse wave.

Parts of a Transverse Wave Wavelength – The wavelength is the distance between one point on a wave and the nearest point just like it.

Parts of a Transverse Wave Amplitude – Maximum distance the wave vibrates from its rest position. Amplitude is ameasure of the energy carried by the wave. The more energy a wave carries, the higher the amplitude.

High energy waves have high amplitude and low energy waves have low amplitude.

Which one of these waves has a larger amplitude?

Compression – The region in a compression wave where the medium becomes crowded together and more dense. Rarefaction – The less-dense region of a compression wave.

Parts Of A Compression Wave The amplitude of a compression wave is related to how tightly the medium is pushed together in compressions.

The wavelength of a longitudinal wave can be measured as the distance between the center of two compressions or rarefactions.

Which one of these waves has a larger wavelength (λ)?

Wave Frequency is the number of wavelengths that pass a fixed point each second. When frequency increases, wavelength decreases.

Which one of these waves has a higher frequency?

Frequency is measured in a unit called Hertz. abbreviation: Hz. A hertz is one wavelength passing by a fixed point per second.

The Wave Equation Speed = wavelength x frequency or v = λ x f * Λ is the Greek letter lambda The speed of a wave is how fast the wave is traveling. Units for speed is m/s. Unit for wavelength is meters (m) Unit for frequency is Hertz (Hz)

Review

Speed of Sound Lightning/Thunder

What Effects The Speed of Sound? Medium

What Effects The Speed of Sound? Temperature As the temperature rises, the sound travels faster!

Mechanical Waves need a medium through Which to travel. Summary A wave is a repeating disturbance or movement that transfers energy through matter or space Waves Carry Energy. Mechanical Waves need a medium through Which to travel.

Summary Two types of mechanical waves are Transverse Compression Parts of a transverse wave Crests and troughs Parts of a compression wave compressions and rarefactions

Amplitude is how much energy the wave carries. The more energy, the higher the amplitude. Wavelength is the distance between a point on a wave and the nearest point just like it. Frequency is the number of wavelengths That pass a fixed point each second. As frequency increases, wavelength decreases. Wave speed = wavelength x frequency.

That’s All Folks!
