Watching Water Waves Activity p134
1. In what direction did the waves travel when you tapped the water lightly with the pencil 2. How did the spacing of the water waves change when the rate of the tapping increased (c) McGraw Hill Ryerson 2007

Light is a kind of energy that travels in waves.
What is light? Light is a kind of energy that travels in waves. Why is Light important ? Light is a form of energy. We cannot feel light. We can only see it. Light comes from both natural and manmade sources. Sun, lamp, phosphorescence Not: mirrors, moon (c) McGraw Hill Ryerson 2007
8
Waves with different properties can be used in different ways
Why it is important We can see and hear the world around us because of the energy carried by waves. Waves with different properties can be used in different ways Electromagnetic waves can be used to make different kinds of images in the world around us. (c) McGraw Hill Ryerson 2007

Light is part of the Electromagnetic Spectrum
Electromagnetic Spectrum 2min The electromagnetic spectrum is the range of frequencies (a spectrum) of electromagnetic radiation (EMR) and their respective wavelengths. (c) McGraw Hill Ryerson 2007
13
To describe the electromagnetic spectrum, we need to understand properties of waves.
(c) McGraw Hill Ryerson 2007
14
How can we describe light?
Light behaves like a wave (c) McGraw Hill Ryerson 2007
15
Examples of waves include: water waves, sound waves, and microwaves.
4.1 Properties of Waves A wave is a disturbance or movement that transfers energy through matter or space. Energy is the capacity to apply a force over a distance. A force is a push or a pull on an object. Examples of waves include: water waves, sound waves, and microwaves. See page 134 (c) McGraw Hill Ryerson 2007
16
Identify the parts of the wave
(c) McGraw Hill Ryerson 2007
17
A crest is the highest point on a wave.
Features of a Wave A crest is the highest point on a wave. A trough is the lowest point on a wave. The wavelength is the distance, in meters, for one complete cycle of the wave. Crest to crest or trough to trough. The amplitude is the height of a wave crest or depth of a trough, as measured from its rest position. Identify each of the lettered parts of the wave.
