A surfer needs to understand the properties of waves.

Properties of Mechanical Waves

Waves Students will learn about waves. Waves Waves transfer energy without the transfer of mass. A wave is a vibratory disturbance that is transmitted.

Learning Goals: Define wavelength, frequency, period, and amplitude. Describe the relationship between frequency and wavelength. Explain how a wave’s energy.

General Properties of Waves

Properties of Waves EQ: How do I describe the basic properties of waves and how a wave’s speed is related to its wavelength and frequency?

UNIT 3. What is a Wave? Definition: A disturbance that transfers energy from place to place. What carries waves? A medium, a medium is the material through.

Essential Question: How does data collected provide evidence that the amount of energy a wave carries determines the properties of a wave?

Waves and Wave Properties. A wave is a disturbance that carries energy from place to place. A wave does NOT carry matter with it! It just moves the matter.

Amplitude The max. distance the particles move from the “rest position” to: The more energy a wave has → The greater its amplitude Compression or rarefaction.

17.2 – Properties of Mechanical Waves

Properties of Mechanical Waves Period Motion Any motion that repeats at regular time intervals Frequency Number of complete cycles in a given time Frequency is measured in Hertz (Hz)

Properties of Mechanical Waves Wavelength The distance between a point on one wave and the same point on the next cycle of the wave.

Properties of Mechanical Waves Key point Increasing the frequency of a wave decreases its wavelength.

Wave Speed Speed of Waves Speed = wavelength x frequency Speed = m/s Wavelength = meters (m) Frequency = Hertz (Hz)

Wave Speed Examples Example #1 A wave on a rope has a wavelength of 2 meters and a frequency of 2 Hz. What is the speed of the wave? Example #2 A motorboat is tied to a dock with its motor running. The spinning propeller makes a surface wave with the water with a frequency of 4 Hz and a wavelength of 0.1 meters. What is the speed of the wave? Example #3 What is the wavelength of an earthquake wave if it has a speed of 5,000 m/s and a frequency of 10 Hz?

Wave Speed The speed of a wave changes when it enters a new medium. Frequency and wavelength are inversely proportional meaning when one goes up, the other goes down.

Properties of Mechanical Waves Amplitude The maximum displacement of the medium from rest position. The more energy a wave has, the greater the amplitude
