Waves
4
Waves are all around us all the time, even if we can’t see them.
Why do we care? Waves are all around us all the time, even if we can’t see them. Waves not only explain surfing, but they also explain earthquakes, sound, and one of the most mysterious phenomena on Earth-light
5
What do Waves Do? Move energy through matter or space
6
Two Types of Waves Mechanical Waves need matter (medium) to travel through Electromagnetic Waves can travel through empty space
7
Mechanical Waves water air solids
Mechanical waves travel through mediums such as: water air solids
8
Mechanical Waves May be longitudinal Or transverse
9
Types of Mechanical Waves
Transverse Waves – energy moves up and down or side to side while traveling forward Wavelength Amplitude Crest Trough How often = Frequency
10
Types of Mechanical Waves
Longitudinal/Compression Waves – energy moves along the medium while traveling forward Wavelength How often = Frequency
11
Types of Waves:
12
Mechanical Waves Has wavelength, frequency, and amplitude
Transverse Longitudinal Has wavelength, frequency, and amplitude Energy travels forward but moves up and down/side to side Has wavelength and frequency Energy travels forward in pulses
13
Put the following waves under the correct category:
A wave at a ball game Guitar string Slinky Flag waving in the wind Sound wave Shaking a rope Water wave
14
II. Mechanical Waves Slinky Sound wave Water wave
Longitudinal Transverse Slinky Sound wave Water wave A wave at a ball game Guitar string Flag waving in the wind Shaking a rope Water wave
15
Electromagnetic Waves – Light!
16
Example 1 3 m 2 2 m 3 m v = f λ v =1.5 m/s

GUESS FORMULA: G = Givens - write them all down with symbols, numbers and units U = Unknown - write down the unknown with a question mark E = Equation - write down the equation or equations that apply in the problem solve the equation(s) for the desired unknown S = Substitute - substitute the given information into the solved equation S = Solve - solve numerically, paying attention to units identify the final answer by circling, boxing, or underlining it clearly check the final answer to be sure it makes sense
