Interactions of Sound Waves p. 42-47
Part I Vocabulary: Echo Echo location *Sonar Ultrasonography Interference a. *Constructive interference b. *Destructive interference *Mach I 7. *Supersonic Sonic boom Standing Wave 9. Resonance Chapter 2 Section 3
2
Echo p. 42 A reflected Sound Wave
3
Echolocation p. 43 The process of using reflected
sound waves to find objects
4
Bats Echolocation p. 43 Several types of animals use echolocation, including but not limited to: Dolphins, Shrews, most bats and most whales. Also, two bird groups use their echolocation to navigate through caves. Echolocation is used by animals who usually can't see very well, or they live in an environment that is hard to see in the first place. (For example, the oceans.) They use it to call out, and the echoes of the calls are used to navigate around in their environment. It's also used to hunt as well as navigate. Dolphin Beluga Short-tailed shrew
5
Echolocation Technology p. 43
People use echoes to locate objects underwater Sonar: Sound Navigation and Ranging
6
Ultrasonography p. 44 Ultrasound Medical procedure that uses echoes to
“see” inside a patient’s body Ultrasound Less harmful to human tissue than x-rays
7
Sound Wave Interference
p. 44 Below is a description of the two types of sound waves. Do you know what they are? Similar instruments play the same notes increasing the amplitude resulting in louder sounds is called Constructive Interference When sound waves reflect off walls and interfere with the sound decreasing the amplitude and softening the sound Destructive Interference
8
Interference and the Sound Barrier p. 45
Mach 1 The speed of sound Supersonic Speeds faster than the speed of sound Sonic Boom The explosive sound heard When a shock from an object traveling faster than the speed of sound reaches a person’s ears.
9
Standing Wave p. 46 A pattern of vibration that simulates
a wave that is standing still A standing wave is a wave that remains in a constant position
10
Resonance Pages 46 and 47 A phenomenon that occurs when two objects naturally vibrate at the same frequency; the sound produced by one object cause the other object to vibrate.
11
Resonance pages 46-47 Wind instruments use the mouth piece to make vibrations inside the instrument forming a standing wave and amplifying its sound. Stringed instruments resonate as the strings vibrate. This vibration creates standing waves inside the body of the guitar and the sound is amplified. The body of the guitar resonates when strummed.

Part II Other Types of Waves Seismic Waves Solar (light) Waves
14
Light is electromagnetic radiation that is visible to the human eye
Light Waves Light is electromagnetic radiation which is a wavelength that is visible to the human eye
15
Visible light The visible spectrum is the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum that is visible to the human eye.
16
produced within the Sun? Nuclear Reactions take
How is light and heat produced within the Sun? Key Ideas! Nuclear Reactions take place in the Sun Only a tiny fraction of light energy from the Sun reaches Earth That light energy is transformed to heat energy here on Earth
17
Now lets take a look at another type of wave which is very common
on Earth The Seismic Wave
18
A wave generated either artificially or by an earthquake that travels
Seismic Wave A wave generated either artificially or by an earthquake that travels through the Earth. P-Wave (Longitudinal Wave) Primary S-Wave (Transverse Wave) Shear or side to side (Surface Wave) Surface Wave
19
P-Wave is the first energy wave to occur after the earthquake has occurred. This is a compression type of wave. S-waves are the second type of wave to results and finally the surface wave which causes the most damage.
20
The following clip analyzes earthquakes
and the seismic waves they produce

22
You will then summarize those notes in two whopper
Seismic waves are waves of energy which happen in and on the Earth. They are usually caused by earthquakes, but can also be man made! How do we measure them and what can we do to help protect ourselves from them? You are to take 10 notes from the following video clip. You will then summarize those notes in two whopper style paragraphs Just Kidding!!

Seismic Waves
