1. Topic: Waves Aim: Describe the parts of a wave. Do Now: Take out your HW ditto http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z3O2Ju3ULvo HW: Bottom of Kinetic and Potential Energy ditto/

2. Identify the type of wave described below. 1.Does not require a medium. 2.Compressional waves 3.Particles of the medium move PARALLEL to the direction of the wave. 4.Requires a medium. 5.Can travel through a vacuum. 6.Particles of the medium move at RIGHT ANGLES to the direction of the wave. 7.Sound waves

3. Parts of a Transverse wave

4. y- axis x- axis Normal resting position

5. Crest Trough

6. Crest – high points Trough – lowest points

7. Crest Trough

9. Amplitude

10. Amplitude – height –Related to energy –High amp = a lot of energy

13. Wavelength – distance bw 2 crests or 2 troughs

14. Wavelength

18. Parts of a Compressional (longitudinal) wave compression = where particles are close together rarefaction = where particles are far apart

19. rarefaction compression

23. Wavelength = Distance bw 2 compressions or 2 rarefactions wavelength

25. High amplitude: –compression = particles are very close together –rarefaction = particles are very far apart

27. Frequency # of waves passing a point in a given time 1 wave = 1 crest + 1 trough

28. As frequency increases, wavelength decreases 1 second

31. Hertz Unit for frequency Hz 1 Hz = 1 wave per second

32. The human ear is capable of detecting sound waves with a wide range of frequencies, ranging between approximately 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz.

34. Period Time it takes 1 wavelength to pass a point Units = seconds As frequency increases, period decreases

35. Low period High period

36. Let’s summarize… 1.Describe the parts of a transverse wave. 2.Describe the parts of a longitudinal wave. 3.Describe the frequency of a wave. 4.Describe the relationship between frequency and wavelength. 5.Identify the units for frequency. 6.Describe the period of a wave. 7.Describe the relationship between frequency and period.
