Learning Goal Identify two major types of waves. CrestCrest TroughTrough CompressionCompression RarefactionRarefaction WavelengthWavelength AmplitudeAmplitude FrequencyFrequency Period Period VelocityVelocity MediumMedium PropagationPropagation Define the following terms: Find a relationship between Velocity, Frequency and Wavelength. Understand what results when two or more waves are at the same place at the same time.

Water Wave http://7art-screensavers.com/screenshots/Wave/attracting-wave.jpg The bottom of the wave “drags” against the shore, and the top of the wave falls over.

http://www.kettering.edu/%7Edrussell/Demos/rad2/mdq.html Propagation ≡ The process of spreading out into a larger area. The process by which electromagnetic waves or sound wave are transmitted through a medium. Medium ≡ The material the wave moves through
7
Longitudinal Wave Transverse Wave Wave Motion Wave Motion Particles in the medium vibrate PERPENDICULAR to the wave motion. Particles in the medium vibrate PARALLEL to the wave motion.

= Wavelength λ (meters) Wavelength λ
13
λ= Wavelength λ = Wavelength = 4.3 cm
14
λ= Wavelength λ = Wavelength = 17.1 cm
15
PERIOD ≡ The time it takes for one wave to pass. (one complete cycle) seconds wave
16
FREQUENCY ≡ The number of waves that pass a given point each second. waves second (Hertz) f = 1 Hz
17
Transverse Wave FREQUENCY ≡ The number of waves that pass a given point each second. (1 Hertz) wave second 1
18
Longitudinal Wave FREQUENCY ≡ The number of waves that pass a given point each second. (1 Hertz) wave second 1
19
FREQUENCY ≡ The number of waves that pass a given point each second. waves second (Hertz) f = 2 Hz
20
FREQUENCY ≡ The number of waves that pass a given point each second. waves second (Hertz) f = ½ Hz
21
Frequency = waves seconds Period = seconds wave Period = 1 Frequency Frequency = 1 Period Period = 10 seconds Frequency = 0.1 Hertz Period =.02 seconds Frequency = 50 Hertz
22
23 cars in 16.5 seconds = 1.4 cars/second Each car is 10.5 meters long. 1.4 cars second · 10.5 meters car = 14.7 meters second How fast is the train moving?
23
Velocity = Frequency · Wavelength v = f · λλ waves second meters wave.
24
v = f · λ The velocity (for a given type of wave) is constant! FREQUENCY is inversely proportional to WAVELENGTH
25
http://www.eliblack.com/pix/photos/edited/edited05.jpg λ = 2.5 cm Three waves go by the pencil every second. ( f = 3 Hz ) Find the wave velocity!

FM (Frequency Modulated) AM (Amplitude Modulated) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Amplitude-modulation.png ?
27
http://www.1055jackfm.com/ frequency = 105.5 MHz (105,500,000 Hz) What is the wavelength of the signal? Velocity light = 3 x 10 8 m/s = 300,000,000 m/s v = f · λ λ = 2.84 meters megahertz UNITS? UNITS?
