What are waves? a disturbance that transfers energy from place to place. Classified as either 1. Mechanical- require a medium 2. Electromagnetic- do not.

What is a wave? Wave – a disturbance or oscillation that travels from one place to another.

Types of Waves and Wave Properties. Mechanical Waves What is a mechanical wave? A rhythmic disturbance that allows energy to be transferred through matter.

Energy Transfer - Waves. Waves A wave is any disturbance that transmits energy through matter or empty space. Energy can be carried away from it’s source.

WAVES Regular, Rhythmic disturbance in a field or medium where a transfer of energy occurs.

Topic 4 Waves. What is a wave? Waves Waves transfer energy without a net motion of the medium through which they travel. They involve vibrations (oscillations)

Waves. Definitions Wave: a disturbance that transfers energy through a medium. The matter does not experience net movement, but vibrates about some rest.

The Nature of Waves

What is a wave? A disturbance That propagates through space and time And transfers energy a.k.a. progressive wave or traveling wave

Disturbance dropping a stone in the water plucking a guitar string blowing through a pipe Disturbance

An Unusual Disturbance

Types of Wave Mechanical Waves Produced by a disturbance Transmitted by particles of the medium vibrating to and fro

Water (liquid) String (solid) Air (gas) Medium

Transverse Waves direction of disturbance is perpendicular to the direction of travel of the wave Examples: String instruments Earthquake s-waves Light

Diagram of a transverse wave crest trough Equilibrium position

Longitudinal Waves direction of disturbance is parallel to the direction of travel of the wave Examples: Sound waves Ultrasound Earthquake p-waves

Diagram of a longitudinal wave compression rarefaction

Wavelength Amplitude Period Frequency Speed Describing Waves Wavelength Amplitude Period Frequency Speed

Describing Waves period wavelength displacement amplitude position time

Wavelength Equivalent to one complete vibration Distance from crest to crest, or trough to trough, OR Distance from two identical successive points on a graph Unit: meter, m Symbol: lambda, λ

Amplitude Maximum displacement of vibrating particles Unit: meter, m Symbol: A

Period Time for one complete vibration Time corresponding to one wavelength Unit: second, s Symbol: T

Frequency Number of vibrations in one second Reciprocal of period, 1/T Units: vibrations per second, s-1 cycles per second, s-1 Hertz, Hz Symbol: ƒ

Wave Speed Distance moved by any point on the wave in one second Product of wavelength and frequency Units: ms-1 Symbol: v

What is the amplitude in metres and the wavelength in metres? Displacement (m) Distance (m) 0.5 -0.5

What is the speed of this wave? For the same wave, what is the period in seconds and the frequency in Hertz? Displacement (m) Time (s) 0.2 0.4 0.6 0.8 1.0 0.5 -0.5 What is the speed of this wave?

What is the time period and frequency of this wave? 20 ms What is the time period and frequency of this wave?

A water wave travels through a pond with a speed of 1ms-1 and a frequency of 5Hz. What is the wavelength of the waves? The speed of sound is 330ms-1 (in air). When Ricky hears this sound his ear vibrates 660 times a second. What was the wavelength of the sound? Purple light has a wavelength of around 6x10-7m. If its frequency is 5x1014 Hz what is the speed of light? Red light travels at the same speed. Work out its frequency if its wavelength is 4x10-7m.
