Waves
• I can identify, describe and model the basic parts of a wave (amplitude, wavelength, wave speed, frequency, different mediums that waves travel through). (11.5)
• I can give examples of waves transmitting energy through matter or empty space. (11.6)

• Waves are created when a source of energy (force) causes a __________.
• So what are vibrations?
• A vibration is a repeated ________ and _________ motion or ____ and _____ motion.

Waves transfer energy not matter. The water waves below are carrying energy but are not moving. Waves
can only exist as they have energy to carry.

A wave moving through a medium travels at a certain speed. This is
Wave Speed.
Wave speed is usually measured in meters/second, but may be measured using other distance units (such as centimeters per
second).16

I can examine how transverse and longitudinal waves are produced and transmitted. (Longitudinal waves- rarefaction and compression; Transverse wave- crest and trough). (11.5)

27
Compressional/ Longitudinal Wave
On a compressional wave the area squeezed together is called the compression. The areas spread out are called the rarefaction.
The wavelength is the distance from the center of one compression to the center of the next compression.

32
What is sound?
Sound is a compressional wave which travels through the air through a series of compressions and rarefactions.
33
“Seeing Sound”
34
Sound travels through different media.
We hear sound which usually travels through air. Sound travels through other media as well, such as water and various solids.
Sound travels different speeds in different media. Sound typically travels faster in a solid that a liquid and faster in a liquid than a gas.
The denser the medium, the faster sound will travel.
The higher the temperature, the faster the particles of the medium will move and the faster the particles will carry the sound. 35

The The highest pointhighest point of of a a transverse wavetransverse wave is the is the crestcrest and the and the
lowest pointlowest point is is called a called a troughtrough..
39
What is wavelength?
Wavelength is a measure of distance, so the units for wavelength are always distance units, such as meter, centimeters, millimeters, etc.
What is wave frequency?
Frequency is the number of waves that pass through a point in one second. The unit for frequency is waves per second or Hertz (Hz). One Hz = One wave per second.
Wavelength and frequency are inversely related.
The smaller the wavelength, the more times it will pass through a point in one second. The larger the wavelength, the fewer times it will pass through a point in one second.
40
The amplitude of a transverse wave is determined by the height of the crest or depth of the trough

45
What are Seismic Waves?
An energy wave which vibrates through the earth’s crust as the crust bends or breaks. Seismic waves exist as both transverse and longitudinal waves. Some travel through the earth and some travel across the earth’s surface.

Properties of LightProperties of LightLight is an example of a
transverse wave.
49
Visible Light WavesWaves with a length of between 0.4 and 0.7 micrometers can be detected by the human eye. For these reason we call these waves visible light.
As you look around the room everything you see has these waves bouncing off of them. If they didn’t, you would not be able to see them. What your eyes pickup and turn into a picture in your brain, are these visible light waves
50
Light travels VERY FAST – around 300,000 kilometres per second.
per second.
At this speed it can go around the world 8 times in one second.
51
Light travels much faster than sound. For example:
1) Thunder and lightning start at the same time, but we will see the lightning first.
2) When a starting pistol is fired we see the smoke first and then hear the bang.
52
We see things because they reflect light into our eyes:

53
Shadows
Shadows are places where light is “blocked”:
Rays of light

The colors of the rainbow:The colors of the rainbow:
RedOrangeYellowGreenBlue
IndigoViolet
55
Seeing colorSeeing colorThe color an object appears depends on the
colors of light it reflects.
For example, a red book only reflects red light:
White
light
Only red light is
reflected
56
A white hat would reflect all seven colors:
A pair of purple trousers would reflect purple light (and red and blue, as purple is made up of red and
blue):
Purple light
White

Using filtersUsing filtersFilters can be used to absorb or “block” out different
colors of light:

I can investigate wave interactions through textual analysis and lab activities, summarizing their causes and effects (diffraction, interference both constructive and destructive, reflection and refraction). (11.6)

The Behavior of Waves
What is reflection?
When a wave bounces off an object and changes direction – this is reflection.
60
ReflectionReflectionReflection from a mirror:
Incident ray
Normal
Reflected ray
Angle of incidence
Angle of reflection

The Law of ReflectionThe Law of Reflection
Angle of incidence = Angle of Angle of incidence = Angle of reflectionreflection
In other words, light gets reflected from a surface at ____ _____ angle it hits.

62
What is sonar?
Sonar is a system that uses the reflection of underwater sound waves to detect objects. This has been used to find sunken ships and schools of fish.
63
What is Refraction?
Refraction is the bending of a wave as it passes from one medium to another. A wave travels at different speeds in different things. When a wave traveling a certain speed moves into another medium, it will either increase in speed or decrease in speed, resulting in a change in direction.
64
65
66
67
What is diffraction?
Diffraction occurs when an object causes a wave to change direction and bend around it.
68
Diffraction also occurs when passing through a small opening. They diffract and spread out as they pass through the hole.
69
What is Wave Interference?Waves interfere in one of two ways: Constructive
Interference and Destructive Interference.
Constructive Destructive

How is frequency related to pitch?
The pitch of a sound wave is directly related to frequency. A high-pitched sound has a high frequency (a screaming girl). A low-pitched sound has a low frequency (a fog-horn).
A healthy human ear can hear frequencies in the range of 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz. Humans cannot hear below 20 Hz. Sounds below this frequency are termed infrasonic.
Sounds above 20,000 Hz are termed ultrasonic. Some animals, such as dogs, can hear frequencies in this range in which humans cannot hear.
74
Sound – The basics of frequency and pitch.
We hear things when they vibrate.
If something vibrates with a high frequency (vibrates very quickly) we say it has a high pitch.
If something vibrates with a low frequency (vibrates slowly) we say it has a low pitch. 75

Other sound effects…
Like light, sound can be…
1)Reflected – sound reflections are called ______.
2)Refracted – this is why you might sound strange if you try talking underwater

What is the Doppler Effect?
The Doppler Effect is the apparent change in frequency detected when the sound is moving relative to the hearer.

Using Sound: What is Acoustics?
Acoustics is the study of sound and ways to optimize the hearing of sound inside various structures.
