What Does a Wave Move? Energy can be transported over long distances Energy can be transported over long distances The medium in which the wave exists has only limited movement The medium in which the wave exists has only limited movement Example: Ocean swells from distant storms Example: Ocean swells from distant storms Path of each bit of water is ellipse

Waves Require a Medium A medium is anything with mass A medium is anything with mass A medium may be solid, liquid, or gas A medium may be solid, liquid, or gas The particles of the medium move very small distances from their rest position The particles of the medium move very small distances from their rest position The particles repeat their motion (periodic or harmonic motion) The particles repeat their motion (periodic or harmonic motion)

Periodic Wave Source is a continuous vibration Source is a continuous vibration The vibration moves outward (but mass does not) The vibration moves outward (but mass does not)

Wave Basics Wavelength is distance from crest to crest or trough to trough Wavelength is distance from crest to crest or trough to trough Amplitude is maximum height of a crest or depth of a trough relative to equilibrium level Amplitude is maximum height of a crest or depth of a trough relative to equilibrium level

Wave Basics (cont.) Wavelength is the distance between points “in phase” Wavelength is the distance between points “in phase” A-F, B-G, C-H, D-I, and E-J are “in phase” A-F, B-G, C-H, D-I, and E-J are “in phase”

Frequency and Period Frequency, f, is number of crests that pass a given point per second (measured in hertz) Frequency, f, is number of crests that pass a given point per second (measured in hertz) Period, T, is time for one full wave cycle to pass Period, T, is time for one full wave cycle to pass T = 1/f f = 1/T T = 1/f f = 1/T

Wave Velocity Wave velocity, v, is the velocity at which any part of the wave moves Wave velocity, v, is the velocity at which any part of the wave moves If wavelength =  v = f If wavelength =  v = f Example: a wave has a wavelength of 10m and a frequency of 3Hz (three crests pass per second.) What is the velocity of the wave? Hint: Think of each full wave as a boxcar. What is the speed of the train? Example: a wave has a wavelength of 10m and a frequency of 3Hz (three crests pass per second.) What is the velocity of the wave? Hint: Think of each full wave as a boxcar. What is the speed of the train?
