6. 3/26/12 Last week before spring break!

7.  Wave: a disturbance that carries energy or matter through space  Pulse: a single disturbance  Periodic wave: a repeated wave

8.  Mechanical waves: require a material medium to travel (air, water, ropes)  Electromagnetic waves: do not require a medium to travel (light, radio)

23.  From your calculations yesterday, did the size of the pulse have any affect on the speed?

24. Two methods: THE SPEED OF A WAVE DEPENDS ONLY ON THE MEDIUM!!!

25. phenomenon that occurs when two waves meet while traveling along the same medium

26. occurs at a location along the medium where two interfering waves have a displacement in the same direction

27. Positive or negative

28. occurs at a location along the medium where two interfering waves have a displacement in the opposite direction

29. Equal sized opposite pulses result in a straight line:

30. Subtract:

31. They pass through each other:

32. When two waves interfere, the resulting displacement of the medium at any location (the AMPLITUDE) is the algebraic sum of the displacements (the AMPLITUDES) of the individual waves at the same location.
