Copy notes• Waves are vibrations that travel from one place to
another• The material that vibrates stays in its place, only
the vibration energy moves• There are two kinds of vibration:
– in & out – called longitudinal
– up & down – called transverse
• Longitudinal waves travel parallel to the vibrations
• Transverse waves travel perpendicular to the vibrations

Copy notes
• Frequency is the number of vibrations that the source makes every second
• It is measured in Hertz (Hz)
• Speed tells us how quickly the energy goes from one place to another
• It is measured as usual in m/s

Radio
Formula
• If 5 waves are made every second and each wave is 2m long, that makes ___ m of wave per second
• So if frequency=5Hz and wavelength=2m the speed is 10m/s
• So the formula must be …
Speed (m/s) = Frequency (Hz) x Wavelength (m)

Wavefront diagrams - copy notes
• A wavefront diagram is a birds-eye view, showing the crests of the waves
• The spacing is the wavelength• The waves are moving at right angles to the wavefronts
Draw the wavefront diagram showing water waves reflecting off a wall – mark the wavelength in a different colour
Gamma

Micro-waves
Radio
Refraction
• Refraction happens because the waves change speed in the new material
• This makes the waves bunch up as well as change direction
• The wavelength gets shorter because the waves slow down

Do light & sound work likewater waves or like particles?
• Complete the table together:
Light Sound Snooker balls
Water waves
Bounces off things (reflects)
Changes direction if it slows down (refracts)
• So refraction suggests light and sound are like waves, not balls

• X-rays are transmitted by soft materials but partly absorbed by denser materials
• This makes them useful for looking inside the body, and for security scans at airports

Infra-red – copy and complete
• Infra-red (IR) rays come from all warm objects• They are absorbed by the surface of most
objects making them heat up• Low power IR can be used to send signals• Uses:• grills, house security sensors, remote controls,
cable TV/telephone
• For each use, write one sentence about how it works (see Milner p137)

Practical – SAFETY GOGGLES• Copy notes:• Light and infra-red waves can be used for sending
messages down optical fibres (e.g. phone calls, cable TV)
• This is better than using electric cables because there is very little loss of signal in the fibre
• Now follow the practical sheet

• Radio waves are very long (over 1m) and pass through most objects
• They are used to send the information for TV and radio programmes
• They are absorbed by metal aerials – they make the electrons in the metal vibrate (making an alternating current)

• Microwaves are shorter than radio waves – from a few mm up to 1m
• Some wavelengths are absorbed by water and are used to heat food
• Other wavelengths are used for signals e.g. satellite TV, mobile phones, Bluetooth, and wireless internet
• Metals reflect microwaves e.g. satellite dish, grille inside microwave door

Copy notes
• Sound waves cannot travel very far before they lose strength (amplitude)
• To broadcast sounds we make a radio wave that is like the original sound and transmit the radio wave
• The radio signal is called analogue

Copy notes
• Analogue radio signals can be like the original sound in two ways– An AM signal has an amplitude that is
changed to be like the original sound– An FM signal has a frequency that is
changed to be like the original sound
• The receiver decodes the radio signal to get the original sound back

Why bother? – copy notes
• As waves travel– they get weaker (lose amplitude)– interference (noise) gets added
• When signals are boosted the noise gets worse as well
• The signal quality gets worse and worse

• When a digital signal is boosted it can be cleaned-up at the same time
• All the 0.1’s are turned back into 0’s• All the 1.1’s/0.9’s are turned back into 1’s• The signal quality remains perfect
