2 The Nature of Waves

3 What is a wave?

4 Journal Work What do you think of when you hear the word “wave”? Write a brief description of what you think a wave is, then describe a time you might have experienced waves?

5 6.P.1.1 Waves: Forces and Motion
head your notes like this! Name: ________________ Date: ___________ 6.P.1.1 Waves: Forces and Motion EQ: What are waves? A wave is..

6 What is a WAVE? A wave is any disturbance that transfers energy through matter or space. Once the wave has moved, the disturbance is gone. The energy carried by ocean waves can break rocks.

7 Waves are created when a source creates a vibration.
What is a WAVE? Waves are created when a source creates a vibration.

8 Waves are moving energy!
What is a WAVE? Waves are moving energy! The energy causes materials to vibrate.

9 Waves only carry energy, not matter!
What is a WAVE? Waves only carry energy, not matter!

10 The matter through which a wave travels is called a MEDIUM.
How do waves travel? The matter through which a wave travels is called a MEDIUM.

11 Types of Waves

12 How are waves classified?

13 6.P.1.1 Waves: Forces and Motion
Name: ________________ Date: ___________ 6.P.1.1 Waves: Forces and Motion EQ: What are waves? A wave is.. EQ: How are waves classified? continue on same page

14 Transverse Waves: waves in which the particles vibrate in an up and down motion ex: light waves not sure?

15 The crest is the highest point on a transverse wave.
The trough is the lowest point on a transverse wave. The rest position of the wave is called the node or nodal line.

16 Transverse Wave copied

17 Transverse Wave copy this transverse wave into your notes!
rest position not sure? copy this transverse wave into your notes!

18 Carry energy along the wave
Longitudinal Waves: waves in which the particles vibrate back and forth in compressional pulses ex: sound waves copied Carry energy along the wave

19 Longitudinal Wave rarefaction
not sure? copy this longitudinal wave into your notes!

20 Demonstration Materials: Slinky
With a student on each end of a slinky, spread out so the slinky is stretched. Students can make transverse waves (image b) and longitudinal waves (image a).

21 Types of Waves Waves can also be classified on if they need a medium or don’t need a medium to travel…

22 Mechanical Waves Mechanical Waves need a medium to travel through.
Examples of Mechanical Waves: sound water ropes earthquakes tsunami waves Mechanical Waves can be either Transverse or Longitudinal

23 Electromagnetic Waves
Electromagnetic Waves do NOT need a medium to travel through. Examples of Electromagnetic Waves: x-rays radio waves infrared radiation microwaves visible light

24 Electromagnetic Waves
Electromagnetic Waves are ALWAYS transverse waves.

58 6.P.1.1 Waves: Forces and Motion
head your notes like this! Name: ________________ Date: ___________ 6.P.1.1 Waves: Forces and Motion EQ: What interactions can waves undergo? Reflection..

59 Reflection Reflection- happens when a wave bounces after hitting a barrier.

60 Reflection All waves can be reflected.

61 Refraction Refraction – is the change in direction of a wave when it changes speed as it travels from one material(medium) to another. refraction occurs when a wave changes speed. Light waves change direction when they slow down as they pass from air to water.

62 Diffraction The bending of waves around a barrier or through an opening is known as diffraction.

63 Diffraction nosey Sound wavelengths are MUCH longer than light wavelengths (measured in nanometers). This is why you can hear someone talking in another room with an open door, even though you can’t see them.

64 Interference happens when waves overlap
Constructive: amplitude increases Destructive: amplitude decreases

65 Interference

66 Resonance Resonance – vibration produced in one object that is caused by the vibration produced in another

100 Seismic Waves Extension

101 How are waves in Earthquakes like other waves?

102 Journal Work How do you think earthquake waves are alike/different from the waves we have learned about so far in this unit? Record your thoughts in your journal.

103 Seismic waves move through the ground during an earthquake.

104 Seismic Waves Primary Waves are longitudinal (compressional) waves Secondary Waves are transverse waves Some of these waves are longitudinal (compressional), and others are transverse.

105

106 Seismic Waves The seismic waves that cause most damage to buildings are a kind of rolling waves. These rolling waves are surface waves and are a combination of longitudinal and transverse waves.

SEISMIC WAVES (to tune of Silver Bells)  Feel a rumble, then a grumble What is happ’ning you say Underground there’s a feeling of earthquake Building-swaying, terror-making Falling bricks block your way And with each faithful tremor you think … Seismic waves, seismic waves They’re why the building is swaying After shocks, faulted rocks We’ll just rebuild it next year P and S waves, and the L waves From the focus they race Through the earth they can travel a distance P are faster, L are “laster” Liquid S leaves no trace And among on the rubble you fear … They’re why the driveway is cracking Rictcher scale, start to wail We’ll just repave it next year
