Waves
2
Essential questions Observe and explain that light can be reflected, refracted, and/or absorbed Recognize that light waves, sound waves, and other waves move at different speeds in different materials
3
Wave speed Different types of waves travel at different speeds
The same type of waves travel at different speeds in different materials For example, mechanical waves travel fastest in solids and at higher temperatures and electromagnetic waves travel fastest in empty space
4
Calculating wave speed
Wave speed = frequency x wavelength
5
Energy conversions Rock falling from a ledge
Potential energy to kinetic energy High temperature to a low temperature Heat/thermal energy Making a soccer ball move Mechanical energy to mechanical energy
7
Review: the sun’s energy
Emits light waves, ultraviolet waves, and infrared waves
9
Reflection The bouncing of a wave off a surface without absorption.
10
refraction The change in direction of a wave as it changes speed in moving from one medium to another
11
Absorption of light The absorption of light occurs when a ray of light strikes a surface. The energy from the light is transferred to the surface material.

17
Interaction of light and matter
Transparent material allows almost all light that strikes it to pass through and forms a clear image Translucent material allows most of the light that strikes it to pass but forms a blurry image Opaque material does not allow light to pass through it
18
transmission Transmission is the passage of light through an object
19
Law of reflection When a wave is reflected from a surface, the angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence
20
interference Interference occurs when waves that overlap combine, forming a new wave
21
Chapter 9 review

Through which medium would sound waves move most slowly?
Air
23
Through which medium would sound waves move most quickly?
Solids
24
Is light an electromagnetic wave?
Yes
25

Concave mirror
28
Convex mirror
29
Concave lens
30
Convex lens
31
Concave and convex lens
33
refraction Occurs when light waves pass from one material to another and change speed
34
Refract each wavelength a different amount
prims Refract each wavelength a different amount
35
Speed of sound depends on
The forces between particles
36
Speed of sound and temperature increase
The speed of a sound wave increases as the temperature of the material increases
37
Which surfaces produce diffuse reflection of light?
Rough surfaces
