Waves

What is a wave? An oscillation is a movement back and forth. An oscillation that travels is a wave.

Waves and energy Waves are an essential way in which energy travels from one place to another. Waves propagate through space, spreading energy out to other regions which may be quite far away.

Waves in time and space A wave oscillates up and down over time at a given point in space.

Waves in time and space A wave oscillates up and down over time at a given point in space. The wave’s oscillations extend in space at any instant in time.

Amplitude The amplitude A of a wave is the maximum amount the water rises or falls compared to its average resting level. The amplitude of different types of waves may have different units: A Water wave amplitude is a distance, in meters. Sound wave amplitude is a pressure, in pascals.

Wavelength λ The wavelength λ is the distance a wave travels before it begins to repeat itself. The wavelength can be measured from peak to peak, or trough to trough. How many wavelengths appear in this figure?

Frequency The frequency f of a wave is a measure of how quickly it oscillates. The unit for frequency is the hertz, or Hz. One hertz equals one cycle per second.

Frequency When a wave has a frequency of 10 Hz = 10 cycles/second, then 10 waves travel past a given point each second. What is the frequency of the wave shown below?

Frequency When a wave has a frequency of 10 Hz = 10 cycles/second, then 10 waves travel past a given point each second. What is the frequency of the wave shown below? 2 Hz

Frequency The frequency of a wave conveys information. Frequency remains the same even if the wave amplitude decreases as it spreads out. the frequency of a light wave determines its color. the frequency of a sound wave determines its pitch.

Wave speed The speed of a wave depends on the type of wave and on its medium. Examples: speed of typical water waves: 5 m/s speed of sound in air: 343 m/s speed of light: 300,000,000 m/s (in a vacuum)

Wave speed As a wave moves forward, it advances one wavelength with each complete cycle. distance:

Wave energy A wave is an organized mechanism for transferring energy. As a wave moves through matter, its energy causes the matter to respond. After the wave passes, the matter returns to equilibrium.

Energy and frequency The energy of a wave increases with frequency: lower energy low frequency (slower oscillations) long wavelength

Energy and frequency The energy of a wave increases with frequency: lower energy higher energy low frequency high frequency (slower oscillations) (faster oscillations) long wavelength short wavelength

Waves in 3-D space Waves can cause oscillations in three dimensions. The direction of motion of the wave is defined as the forward dimension. The other two dimensions (left-right and up-down) are perpendicular to the direction of motion.

Transverse waves A transverse wave causes oscillations that are perpendicular to the forward motion of the wave. Examples: waves in a string light waves

Transverse waves Transverse waves can oscillate in any direction that is perpendicular to the direction the wave is traveling! Try creating both vertically and horizontally oscillating transverse waves using a wave motion rope.

Longitudinal waves A longitudinal wave causes oscillations that move back and forth in the same direction as the traveling wave. Examples: sound waves the waves in a spring as shown in this figure Move a Slinky® rapidly forward and back to create a longitudinal compression wave.

Longitudinal waves Point out that amplitude for this wave is not a distance. it is the coil density. Show the students that the wave crests and troughs on the graph correspond to points of most and least coils per centimeter in the Slinky® illustration.

Polarization Polarization describes the direction of the oscillation in a plane perpendicular to the wave velocity. The wave in this figure is polarized. It is traveling in the z-direction and its oscillations occur only in the y-direction—not in the x-direction.

Polarization What kind of waves can be polarized? Transverse waves? longitudinal waves? or both types?

The air molecules oscillate back and forth, parallel to the direction of the wave’s forward motion.
