1. Waves!

2. First a little vocab… WAVE: WAVE: –A periodic disturbance in a solid, liquid or gas MEDIUM: MEDIUM: –Matter or space through which waves travel

3. I. Waves transfer energy Some waves carry more energy than others Some waves carry more energy than others –Energy spreads out as a wave travels Ex- sound waves Ex- sound waves

4. Ex- sound waves… Sound waves – travel as spherical waves from a speaker Sound waves – travel as spherical waves from a speaker Wave front – each circular wave of energy Wave front – each circular wave of energy As they travel out, the wave front gets bigger – each front has the same amount of energy. As the wave front gets bigger, the energy is spread out over a bigger area As they travel out, the wave front gets bigger – each front has the same amount of energy. As the wave front gets bigger, the energy is spread out over a bigger area Why don’t you want to sit close to a loud speaker? When you are close to the speaker (or close to light) more energy is transferred to your ears (or eyes)

5. II. Waves can be classified by what they move through a.Mechanical- Requires a medium - ex: ripples on a pond, earthquake b. Electromagnetic-Does not require a medium not require a medium –Ex- light waves, radio waves, ultraviolet waves… –Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b0JQt4u6-XI http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b0JQt4u6-XI

6. 2. Waves can also be classified by how they move a. Transverse waves – travel perpendicular to the direction of the wave (drawn “up and down”)

7. b. Longitudinal waves (aka compression waves ) travel parallel to the direction of the wave (drawn “back and forth”) Longitudinal (top) compared to transverse (bottom)…

8. Surface Waves: Have BOTH Occur at the border between two mediums… Occur at the border between two mediums… Water waves: Particles at the surface move parallel and perpendicular (in circles) Water waves: Particles at the surface move parallel and perpendicular (in circles) The ball up and down and side to side The ball up and down and side to side

10. Anatomy of a Transverse Wave Crest: top of wave Trough: bottom of wave

11. Anatomy of a Longitudinal Wave Compression: Rarefaction:

12. How do we describe waves? Wavelength Wavelength Amplitude Amplitude Period Period Frequency Frequency

13. Wavelength ( ) –The distance between two identical parts of a wave The distance btwn 2 crests for a TRANSVERSE wave or two compressions for a LONGITUDINAL wave. The distance btwn 2 crests for a TRANSVERSE wave or two compressions for a LONGITUDINAL wave. –The symbol for wavelenths is ____

14. 2 waves – one with a long wavelength and one with a short wavelength!

15. Amplitude –Distance from the middle of the wave to the crest (or half the distance between the crest and the trough) (or half the distance between the crest and the trough) –Larger amplitudes carry more energy

16. Amplitude Ex- Sound Waves: The more amps the sound has, the __louder__ it will be. Low amplitude  Medium Amplitude  HIGH Amplitude

17. Frequency The number of cycles/wavelengths/ vibrations per unit of time -Measured in Hertz - (1Hz = 1 vibration/sec) –Represented by “ f ” - cycles/time You can hear 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz You can hear 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz More vibrations = shorter amount of time for each More vibrations = shorter amount of time for each

18. Remember that each wave carries energy… Higher frequency = more energy and shorter wavelength…The more wavelengths per second, the more energy. Higher frequency = more energy and shorter wavelength…The more wavelengths per second, the more energy.

19. Wave speed – how fast a wave moves Draw on Notes Sheet and fill in blanks Draw on Notes Sheet and fill in blanks

20. Wave speed depends on medium  In a gas, particles are farther apart so it takes longer for them to find each other and bump into each other - sending the wave In liquids, particles are closer together so waves travel faster In liquids, particles are closer together so waves travel faster In solids, particles are very close together so waves travel the fastest In solids, particles are very close together so waves travel the fastest

21. Ex- sound waves are mechanical Can sound waves travel in air?  Yes!  However, they travel even faster in ___?___ than in air or water Example: hitting a metal railing and listening (you will hear two bangs) Why? The first sound comes through the steel rail itself and reaches you shortly before the second sound, which travels through the air. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GkNJvZINSEY (sol, liq, gas at 2:22)

22. More practice/Thinking ahead… 1. Draw 2 waves – one with a high frequency and one with a low frequency: 2. 2. Will the type of medium affect the speed of Electromagnetic Waves? Why or why not? 3. 3. Label the parts of the wave.

23. 1. Draw 2 waves – one with a high frequency and one with a low frequency:

24. 2. What about Electromagnetic Waves? Will the type of medium affect their speed? Why? Yes, but in a different way! Electromagnetic waves do NOT require a medium. Their speed does not require particles to “bump” into each other… so they move fastest through gas and slowest through solid!

25. A- amplitude B- wavelength

26. Doppler Effect –First – pitch is determined by frequency –Sound waves travel out from an object in wave fronts and hit your eardrum (when they hit your eardrum, they have a frequency equal to the number of wave fronts that hit your ear –Ambulance example: When the ambulance moves toward you, the sound waves are compressed because the ambulance moves a short distance – so the waves hit your eardrum at a higher frequency – higher pitch When the ambulance moves toward you, the sound waves are compressed because the ambulance moves a short distance – so the waves hit your eardrum at a higher frequency – higher pitch Then, when the ambulance moves away from you, the distance between the wave fronts is more than before, so the frequency is lower – pitch is lower Then, when the ambulance moves away from you, the distance between the wave fronts is more than before, so the frequency is lower – pitch is lower –Doppler effect can also happen in light and other types of waves

27. LIGHT ENERGY (electromagnetic waves)

28. Frequency of Light Spectrum (example) Wide range of frequencies and wavelengths Wide range of frequencies and wavelengths Your eyes can detect 4.3 x 1014 Hz to 7.5 x 1014 Hz (visible light range) Your eyes can detect 4.3 x 1014 Hz to 7.5 x 1014 Hz (visible light range) Electromagnetic waves exist at frequencies we can’t see Electromagnetic waves exist at frequencies we can’t see

30. Reflection and Refraction of Light

31. What is light? Energy! Energy! Where does it come from? Where does it come from? –The SUN –Makes its own energy by NUCLEAR fusion!

32. How do you see something? Light from the sun appears white, however when shone through a prism, it will separate into all the colors of the visible spectrum. Light from the sun appears white, however when shone through a prism, it will separate into all the colors of the visible spectrum. Objects have color because they reflect certain wavelengths of light Objects have color because they reflect certain wavelengths of light Every object absorbs some light and reflects some light Every object absorbs some light and reflects some light

33. Why does a plant appear to be green? It absorbs the other wavelengths and reflects the green light (550 nm) It absorbs the other wavelengths and reflects the green light (550 nm) Light really is not “green” – your brain interprets light at certain wavelengths as certain colors Light really is not “green” – your brain interprets light at certain wavelengths as certain colors Petals of a red rose look red because they absorb wavelengths and then reflect the red light Petals of a red rose look red because they absorb wavelengths and then reflect the red light

34. Black is not a “wavelength of light” – it is the absence of light! All the colors are ASORBED!

35. How does light reflect? Light reflects at an angle Light reflects at an angle Rough surfaces - light that strikes the surface will be reflected at all angles Rough surfaces - light that strikes the surface will be reflected at all angles Smooth surfaces – light that strikes a smooth surface like a mirror will all reflect in a single direction Smooth surfaces – light that strikes a smooth surface like a mirror will all reflect in a single direction

36. Ray Diagrams: used to trace the path of LIGHT!

37. Refraction of Light What happens to light waves when they travel? What happens to light waves when they travel? Through empty space – travel in straight line Through empty space – travel in straight line Refraction – how light bends when passing from one medium to another Refraction – how light bends when passing from one medium to another Light changes direction because the speed of light is different in different mediums Light changes direction because the speed of light is different in different mediums

39. How do objects appear if light is refracted? Objects appear to be in a different position Objects appear to be in a different position The path of the light is changed as it goes from one medium to another The path of the light is changed as it goes from one medium to another However the brain still sees it as though the light traveled in a straight line However the brain still sees it as though the light traveled in a straight line So, the position of the object (cat or fish) looks different than where it really is So, the position of the object (cat or fish) looks different than where it really is

40. Pencil Demo:

41. Diffraction Diffraction is the BENDING of waves around an edge. Diffraction is the BENDING of waves around an edge. –Ex- Hearing sound waves from around a corner – When waves pass the edge of an object or pass through an OPENING, they spread out as if a new wave were created there. –Diffraction is the reason a SHADOW never has perfectly sharp edges.

42. Wave Interference

43. When several waves are in the same location, the waves combine to produce a single new wave that is different from the original wave. This behavior is called SUPERPOSITION

44. 1) Constructive Interference: when two waves interact and the resultant wave has a larger amplitude (Part A, Figure below)

45. 2) Destructive Interference: when two waves interact and the resultant wave has a smaller amplitude (Part B, Figure below)

46. INTERFERENCE IN SOUND WAVES: (longitudinal mechanical) If two waves are “out of sync” they cause “beats” of louder noise (when they are in line and have constructive interference) and then quiet (when they are opposite and destructive interference occurs) If two waves are “out of sync” they cause “beats” of louder noise (when they are in line and have constructive interference) and then quiet (when they are opposite and destructive interference occurs) http://library.thinkquest.org/19537/Physic s5.html http://library.thinkquest.org/19537/Physic s5.html http://library.thinkquest.org/19537/Physic s5.html http://library.thinkquest.org/19537/Physic s5.html

47. STANDING WAVES: Form when a wave is reflected at the boundary of a medium. Form when a wave is reflected at the boundary of a medium. –Interference of the original wave with the reflected wave causes the medium to vibrate in a stationary pattern that resembles a series of loops. –The wave appears to be standing still, but it is not!!! (actually moving in both directions)

49. Thermal Energy & Energy Transfer

50. Energy can be transferred in 3 ways… 1. Conduction 2. Convection 3. Radiation

51. Conduction Conduction: the transfer of energy through direct contact of a material –occurs within a material or between materials that are touching

52. What phase of matter do you think conduction travels best in? SLOWER in gases is than in liquids and solids because the particles collide less often in a gas Conduction occurs fastest in SOLIDS!!!

53. Thermal conductor: transfer of heat energy through a material a) Examples: -Wire rack in hot oven - Tile floor Thermal Insulator: material that is a poor conductor of heat and therefore reduces energy transfer Thermal Insulator: material that is a poor conductor of heat and therefore reduces energy transfer a) Examples: -Wooden spoon - Air - Styrofoam Materials can be Conductors or Insulators:

54. Convection: the movement of matter due to different temperatures densities! Convection: the movement of matter due to different temperatures having different densities! Convection

55. Convection current: the vertical movement of air currents due to temperature variation Convection currents are important in many natural cycles, such as ocean currents, weather systems, and movements of hot rock in Earth’s interior.

56. Convection causes currents! Energy flows from HIGH to LOW (hot to cold) Energy flows from HIGH to LOW (hot to cold) Example: Oven Example: Oven –Temp is higher at bottom of the oven – Air at bottom heats up & is then less dense =HOT air= RISES –The air that was at the top, cools off & is then more dense= COLD air= SINKS

57. Radiation: the energy that is transferred as electromagnetic waves, such as visible light & infrared waves Travel: Requires NO medium!! Examples: - Sun - Standing by grill & feel the heat - Heat lamp in restaurant Radiation

58. Heat Transfer Recap!

59. THERMAL EQUILIBRIUM Thermal (heat) energy is continually being emitted & absorbed from objects. How much energy is absorbed vs emitted will determine if that object will change temperature. When the amount of energy absorbed is equal to the amount emitted, this is called THERMAL EQUILIBRIUM.

60. . Which of these are at equilibrium?

61. Different surfaces interact differently with waves Dark vs. Light Dark vs. Light Rough vs Smooth Rough vs Smooth Transparent vs Opaque Transparent vs Opaque

62. Light cannot pass through ALL objects….
