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

GENERAL PROPERTIES OF WAVES

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.

Waves. There are 2 types of waves –Transverse waves –Longitudinal waves.

Waves. Wave Motion A wave travels along its medium, but the individual particles just move up and down.

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

Wave Speed. Presentation Outline Review – Frequency illustrated – Frequency and period relationship calculations – Wavelength, Amplitude, Crest, Trough.

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.

The Basics. Simple Harmonic Motion A body will undergo SIMPLE HARMONIC MOTION when the force that tries to restore the object to its rest position is.

Standards I can compare and contrast the parts of a wave. ( ) I can differentiate between transverse and longitudinal waves. ( )

Wave Notes. What types of waves can you think of?

What is sound?* Sound begins with a vibration. Sounds travel in waves through a medium.

Waves transmit energy through space and time.

Frequency The number of vibrations (back and forth) an object makes in a unit of time is an object’s frequency. The unit of frequency is called the hertz (Hz) Wave Description

A frequency of one cycle per second is 1 hertz, two cycles per second is 2 hertz, and so on. Higher frequencies are measured in kilohertz (kHz—thousands of hertz) megahertz (MHz—millions of hertz) gigahertz (GHz—billions of hertz) 25.2 Wave Description Electrons in the antenna of an AM radio station at 960 kHz vibrate 960,000 times each second, producing 960-kHz radio waves.

Period and Frequency Period is the time for one back and forth swing (measured in seconds) Frequency is the swings in a given time (measured in hertz) Therefore…

The source of all waves is something that vibrates Wave Description

The high points on a wave are called crests. The low points on a wave are called troughs. The term amplitude refers to the distance from the midpoint to the crest (or trough) of the wave. The amplitude is the maximum displacement from equilibrium Wave Description

The wavelength of a wave is the distance from the top of one crest to the top of the next one. The wavelengths of waves at the beach are measured in meters, the ripples in a pond in centimeters, of light in billionths of a meter Wave Description

think! What is the frequency in vibrations per second of a 100-Hz wave? 25.2 Wave Description

The Sears Tower (now called the Willis Tower) in Chicago sways back and forth at a frequency of about 0.1 Hz. What is its period of vibration? Do Now 3/22/11

TYPES OF WAVES

Suppose you create a wave along a rope by shaking the free end up and down. The motion of the rope is at right angles to the direction in which the wave is moving. Whenever the motion of the medium is at right angles to the direction in which a wave travels, the wave is a transverse wave Transverse Waves

Waves in the stretched strings of musical instruments and the electromagnetic waves that make up radio waves and light are transverse Transverse Waves

Sometimes the particles of the medium move back and forth in the same direction in which the wave travels. When the particles oscillate parallel to or along the direction of the wave, the wave is a longitudinal wave Longitudinal Waves

We already identified troughs and crest in transverse waves In longitudinal waves points that are squeezed together are called compressions, points that are spread apart are called rarefaction (literally means a point where pressure is reduced and density is decreased – especially when talking about sound waves) 25.6 Longitudinal Waves

Sound waves are longitudinal waves Longitudinal Waves
