2. TAPE the middle of the coil spring
b) The motion of the piece of tape is __________; aka __________ because it moves at RIGHT ANGLES.
d) AMPLITUDE  HEIGHT of the wave from CREST to TROUGH
 Labeling a wave

7. 5*2 NOTES: WAVES Waves are:
A transfer of ENERGY with NO transfer of mass
DISTURBANCES that travel through a medium
Medium  a solid (Earth), liquid (water), and/or gas (air) through which a wave travels

8. Waves are DIRECTLY related to the transfer of energy from one location to another
EXAMPLE the larger the amplitude,
the larger the energy transfer,
the louder the sound,
the brighter the light

9. TRANSVERSE WAVES
TRANSVERSE WAVES  motion of the wave is PERPENDICULAR (at RIGHT angles) to the direction in which the wave is traveling
***MORE energy, LARGER amplitude***
***LESS energy, SMALLER amplitude***

10. Wavelength (λ)  crest-to-crest OR trough-to-trough
Frequency (f)  number of times the wave moves UP&DOWN /second
Hertz (Hz)  the unit of frequency (f )
Humans can hear very low frequencies (20Hz) to very high (20,000Hz)
Period (T)  time for ONE WAVE (crest & trough)to pass
Period (T) and Frequency (f) are INVERSELY related
They go in OPPOSITE directions:
T = 1/f f = 1/T

11. λ = v / f f = v / λ v = f × λ VELOCITY OF A WAVE:
If you are given a distance and time, calculate it the “old fashioned” way or….
If you are given frequency, wavelength and/or velocity---THE NEW WAY!!!
Wavelength (λ)
Frequency ( f )
Wave Speed (v)
λ = v / f
(m)
f = v / λ
(Hz)
v = f × λ
(m/s)

12. Characterized by wave speed (v) to where the speed depends on the medium’s consistency
The distance the wave crest moves is 2m in 0.2s, what is the wave speed???
What is the wave speed with a frequency of 4Hz, a wavelength of 0.75m, and an amplitude of 1.5m???

13. LONGITUDINAL WAVES
2. LONGITUDINAL WAVES  motion of the wave is PARALLEL to the direction in which the wave is traveling; aka COMPRESSIONAL
Wave Speed = distance traveled = v
time elapsed t

14. 5*2 DEMO #3 Part C: LONGITUDINAL WAVES on a Spring
1. Student #1 = Just holds the SLINKY against the floor
Student #2 = make a wave
The SLINKY moves ________ as the wave moves _______________along the spring.
Draw AND Label the wave motion:

15. STANDING WAVES
3. STANDING WAVES are wave patterns that do NOT move through the medium
Node  spot in a standing wave where wave is completely stationary (still/not moving)
Antinode  spot in a standing wave where wave has its largest displacement

16. WAVE INTERFERENCE
Wave interference: when 2(or more) wave INTERACT with each other:
Destructive
Constructive

17. 5*2 Demo #4
3-5.What happens when BOTH students make a wave on the coil spring ???
When two waves are made in the SAME direction, the wave amplitude’s are __________ and therefore _____.
“Constructive”
When two waves are made in the OPPOSITE direction, the wave amplitude’s are __________ and therefore _____.
“Destructive”
