Presentation on theme: "Day Topic: Mechanical Waves"— Presentation transcript:

1 Day 3 5-11-11 Topic: Mechanical Waves
Objective: I will identify and understand the parts of a mechanical wave Science Starter: List 3 examples of waves you used today (example: microwaves).

2 Transverse Wave Nodes Equilibrium / Rest

3

4 Longitudinal/Compression wave:
In a longitudinal wave, the particles of the medium move parallel to the direction in which the wave travels.

5 Types of Pulse/Wave Motion:
Transverse wave: A. Wave Particles: oscillate up & down B. Wave pulse moves Horizontally C. Particles are Perpendicular to Motion Longitudinal/Compression wave: A. Wave particles oscillate horizontally B. Wave pulse moves horizontally C. Particles are Parallel to Motion
