What do you think of when you hear the word “Waves”? sound waves, light waves, radio waves, microwaves, water waves, sine waves, telephone chord waves, stadium waves, earthquake waves, waves on a string, slinky waves Wavelike phenomena = pendulum, child on a swing, waving to your neighbor http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H0K2dvB-7WY

1. Wave Definition How do you create a water wave? Created by a disturbance Example: Throwing a rock into water

Definition Waves are a transfer of energy in the form of a disturbance or vibration Usually through a material substance Cannot exist in one place Must extend from one place to another Transfer energy! NOT MASS!!

2. Medium The material the wave travels through The type of disturbance and medium determine the kind of wave The material the wave travels through The type of disturbance and medium determine the kind of wave Disturbance in…Kind of Wave Gas, solid or liquid particlesSound Surface of fluid“wave” Electromagnetic Field“light” Ground (Earth)Seismic

3. Simple Harmonic Motion
11
Periodic Motion – If an object oscillates back and forth over the same path, each cycle taking the same amount of time Simple Harmonic Motion – Periodic Wave Characteristics http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W3cjPw8CDhg&NR=1youtube
12
Simple Harmonic Motion Displacement is measured from the equilibrium point Amplitude is the maximum displacement A cycle is a full to-and-fro motion Period is the time required to complete one cycle Frequency is the number of cycles completed per second
13
Pendulums are useful in understanding waves: Simple harmonic motion (Periodic) Creates a special curve known as a SINE CURVE : Sine Curve is a pictorial representation of a wave. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eeYRkW8V7Vg&mode=related&search= http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OW208xQrVSw

4. Period/ Frequency
15
Frequency(period)- determined by source only Not affected by changes in speed Not affected by changes in wavelength Frequency(period)- determined by source only Not affected by changes in speed Not affected by changes in wavelength 4. Period/ Frequency
16
PENDULUMS: What is one cycle of a pendulum? What is the period of a pendulum? Units? What affects the period of the pendulum? What is the frequency of the pendulum? Units?
17
Frequency = cycles / time Frequency = 1 / period HERTZ, Hz Period = time/ cycles Period = 1 / frequency SECONDS, s
18
EX: A pendulum completes 30 cycles in 15 seconds. Calculate its frequency and its period. F = cycles/ time 30 cycles / 15 seconds = 2.0 hz Period = time / cycles 15 sec/ 30 cycles = 0.5 seconds RECIPRICALS!!! Reciprocals! ½ = 0.5 1/0.5 = 2

5. Types and Anatomy of Waves
22
2 Common Types I. Transverse II. Longitudinal I. Transverse II. Longitudinal
23
I. TRANSVERSE
25
The Anatomy of a Wave
26
Transverse Wave
27
II. Longitudinal
29
Parts of a longitudinal wave Compression - maximum density Rarefaction - minimum density Compression - maximum density Rarefaction - minimum density
31
Ex: sound - vibrating prongs of a tuning fork wavelength is the distance from compression to next compression or from a rarefaction to rarefaction.

6. Amplitude
34
Amplitudes Based on Amount of Energy A high energy wave is characterized by a high amplitude; a low energy wave is characterized by a low amplitude Based on Amount of Energy A high energy wave is characterized by a high amplitude; a low energy wave is characterized by a low amplitude
35
Amplitude: Amplitude- determined by source (and medium) Affected by amount of energy If energy decreases (friction), amplitude decreases In an ideal wave, using same medium, amplitude will not change regardless of speed, wavelength, or frequency changes Amplitude- determined by source (and medium) Affected by amount of energy If energy decreases (friction), amplitude decreases In an ideal wave, using same medium, amplitude will not change regardless of speed, wavelength, or frequency changes
36
Wavelength - affected by changes in frequency and speed 7. Wavelength
37
8. Speed of Waves
38
Speed of Wave- determined by medium Not affected by changes in amplitude Not affected by changes in frequency Speed of Wave- determined by medium Not affected by changes in amplitude Not affected by changes in frequency 8. Speed of Waves
39
How can you determine the speed of the wave? Distance = wavelength(m) time = period(s) 1. Measure distance between 2 points of the wave 2. Measure the time it takes one pulse of the wave to travel that distance 3. Divide = meters per second
40
Wave Equation = wavelength (m) f = frequency (cycles/sec) V = speed (m/s) = wavelength (m) f = frequency (cycles/sec) V = speed (m/s)
41
1. So the lifeguard notices that the water wave has a wavelength of 0.5 m and 2.5 crests passed by the buoy each second, what is its speed?
42
Sample Problem #2 2. Wavelength in a water wave is 4.0 m, and the crest travels 9.0 m in 4.5 s. What is the frequency of the wave?
