A wave is a repeating disturbance or movement that transfers energy through it.

4. Waves
A wave is a repeating disturbance or movement that transfers energy through it.
Examples:
Microwaves
Radio waves
Sound waves
Ocean waves

5. Waves and Energy
A pebble falling into a pool causes a disturbance which transfers energy to the water molecules nearby which in turn pass the energy along to molecules that are next to them. A wave is formed that carries the energy along the surface of the water.

6. Do waves carry matter?
A boat on a lake may move up and down or even back and forth a little with a wave but is not carried to a different position.
The wave ONLY carries energy without moving matter.

7. How can you make a wave?
A wave will travel as long as there is both energy & a medium to carry it.

8. How can you make a wave?
A wave will travel as long as there is both energy & a medium to carry it.
Anything that moves up & down or back and forth is a vibrating movement.
Vibrations cause all waves.

9. Mechanical Waves
A medium is the matter through which a wave travels. It can be solid, liquid, or gas or a combination.

A medium is the matter through which a wave travels. It can be solid, liquid, or gas or a combination.
Light and radio waves do not need a medium & can travel through space.

11. Mechanical Waves
A medium is the matter through which a wave travels. It can be solid, liquid, or gas or a combination.
Light and radio waves do not need a medium & can travel through space.
Waves that can only travel through a medium are called mechanical waves.
Transverse
Compressional

12. Mechanical Waves
Waves that can only travel through a medium are called mechanical waves.
Transverse- the matter in the medium moves at a right angle to the direction the wave travels; ex. Ocean wave
Compressional (longitudinal)- matter moves back and forth in the same direction that the wave travels ex. spring

14. How do sound waves move?
Sounds waves are compressional waves which travel through air, water, and wood. When the sound wave reaches your ear, it causes your eardrum to vibrate, sending signals to your brain which you understand as sound.

15. How do water waves move?
Water waves are a combination of transverse & compressional waves. The water moves up & down & back & forth ending up where it began.

16. How do ocean waves move?
Wind blowing across the ocean surface causes most ocean waves to form.

17. How do ocean waves move?
Wind blowing across the ocean surface causes most ocean waves to form.
Size of the wave depends on:

How far it travels over the water

18. What are seismic waves?
Seismic waves are a combination of transverse & compressional waves that carry energy outward and cause an earthquake.

Wave reflection happens when a wave strikes an object or surface and bounces off of it.

48. Reflection
Wave reflection happens when a wave strikes an object or surface and bounces off of it.
All types of waves, including sound, water, and light waves, can be reflected.

49. How do light waves reflect?
Light waves strike canal houses in Amsterdam; then the reflected waves strike water in the canal and bounce off creating this image captured by the camera.

If a sound is not absorbed or transmitted when it strikes a surface, it will be reflected.

58. What are echoes? Echoes are reflected sound waves.
If a sound is not absorbed or transmitted when it strikes a surface, it will be reflected.
The law for reflection is the same as that for light, i.e. the angle of incidence of a sound wave equals the angle of reflection.

59. Refraction

60. Refraction
Can you recall seeing an object in water that appears to be broken?
A waves speed depends on the medium it is passing through; changing mediums may change speeds of the wave.

61. Refraction
Can you recall seeing an object in water that appears to be broken?
A waves speed depends on the medium it is passing through; changing mediums may change speeds of the wave.
Refraction is the bending of a wave caused by a change in its speed as it moves from one medium to another.

62. Refraction
Two things happen to the light waves as they move from the air to the water in the glass.
Change speed
Change direction

63. Refraction
As the light wave slows down, it bends toward the normal.

64. Refraction/Reflection
                                                                                                                                          
Refraction/Reflection
As the light wave slows down, it bends toward the normal.
As the light wave speeds up, it bends away from the normal.

65. Diffraction
Diffraction takes place when an object causes a wave to change direction and bend around it.

66. Diffraction

67. Diffraction
Diffraction takes place when an object causes a wave to change direction and bend around it.
Example: hearing sound coming from another room.
Light waves do not refract as much as sound waves though they do bend around edges.

68. When do water waves diffract?
Ocean waves diffract when they strike an island. They change direction and bend around the island.

69. When do water waves diffract?
Ocean waves diffract when they strike an island. They change direction and bend around the island.
Waves diffract when they pass through a narrow opening spreading out afterwards, bending around the corners of the opening.

70. How much will a wave bend?
Compare the size of the object to the wavelength:

71. How much will a wave bend?
Compare the size of the object to the wavelength:
Smaller object, waves bend around it making narrow shadow
Object larger than the wavelength, creates wider shadow because the light waves can’t bend as easily.

72. How much will a wave bend?
Compare the size of the object to the wavelength:
Smaller object, waves bend around it making narrow shadow
Object larger than the wavelength, creates wider shadow because the light waves can’t bend as easily.
This is the shadow of a razor blade.

73. How do sound waves bend around corners?
Wavelengths of sound are about the same size as the door opening so they diffract and spread into the hallway.

74. How do sound waves bend around corners?
Wavelengths of sound are about the same size as the door opening so they diffract and spread into the hallway.
This is different than from light waves which have a shorter wavelength than sound waves, thus light waves are not diffracted around the door as much as sound waves.

75. How do radio waves differ?
AM (amplitude modulated) radio waves have longer wavelengths than FM (frequency modulated) radio waves.

76. How do radio waves differ?
AM (amplitude modulated) radio waves have longer wavelengths than FM (frequency modulated) radio waves.
This means that AM waves can diffract around objects like buildings and mountains much more than FM radio waves.

80. Interference
Interference is the point where two waves meet each other and overlap to form a new wave.
The new wave lasts only as long as the two waves continue to overlap.
There are two kinds of interference:

Frequencies depend on the size and shape of the object and what it is made of.

91. Resonance All objects have their own natural frequencies of vibration.
Frequencies depend on the size and shape of the object and what it is made of.
Resonance is when an object vibrates by absorbing energy from another object that is vibrating at its natural frequency.
