Waves• wave – a rhythmic disturbance or movement that
transfers energy through matter or space
– examples:
• ocean waves disturb the water and transfer energy through it
• light waves travel through empty space to transfer energy from one place to another

Waves• wave – a rhythmic disturbance or movement that
transfers energy through matter or space
– examples:
• ocean waves disturb the water and transfer energy through it
• light waves travel through empty space to transfer energy from one place to another
– waves will exist only as long as it has energy to carry
– all waves are created by vibrations

Waves• medium – any material through which an
energy wave is transferred
– the medium for sounds waves is air
– the medium for ocean waves is water

Waves• Mechanical Waves – waves that can only
travel through matter
• Types of Mechanical waves
1. transverse wave - a type of wave where the matter in the medium moves back and forth at right angles to the direction that the wave travels

Waves• Mechanical Waves – waves that can only
travel through matter
• Types of Mechanical waves
1. transverse wave - a type of wave where the matter in the medium moves back and forth at right angles to the direction that the wave travels
• these waves have crests (highest point) and troughs (lowest points)

WavesTypes of Mechanical waves
2.compressional wave - a type of wave where the matter in the medium moves back and forth in the same direction that the wave travels
– similar in movement to the compression and expansion of a spring
![Page 11: Chapter 11 Waves. wave – a rhythmic disturbance or movement that transfers energy through matter or space – examples: ocean waves disturb the water and](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649f0e5503460f94c22538/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Waves2. compressional wave - a type of wave where the
matter in the medium moves back and forth in the same direction that the wave travels
– similar in movement to the compression and expansion of a spring
– example: sound waves occur when air molecules are pushed together when a surface is hit and that sound is carried through compressions and expansions of the wave through air
– causes the eardrum to vibrate when it reaches the eardrum

WavesParts of a Transverse Wave
• crest – the highest points of the wave
• trough – the lowest points of the wave

WavesParts of a Compressional Wave
• compression – the denser (or more compressed) region of the wave
– example: where the coils are close together
• rarefaction – less dense (or more stretched) region of the wave
– example: where the coils are more spread out

WavesCommon Parts of Waves
• wavelength – distance between one point on a wave and the nearest point just like it
– measured in meters (m)
– represented with the Greek letter lambda λ

WavesCommon Parts of Waves
• frequency (f) – the number of wavelengths that pass a fixed point each second
– measured in hertz (Hz = 1/s)

Waves• Wave Velocity (v) – describes how fast a
wave is traveling
– measured in meters per second (m/s)
– example: v = 300,000,000 m/s for most electromagnetic waves in a vacuum
![Page 19: Chapter 11 Waves. wave – a rhythmic disturbance or movement that transfers energy through matter or space – examples: ocean waves disturb the water and](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649f0e5503460f94c22538/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
WavesCalculating Velocities of Waves
• the speed of a wave depends on the medium through which it is traveling
• sound waves usually travel faster in liquids and solids than they do in gases
• light waves and other electromagnetic waves usually travel faster in gases or a vacuum than they do in solids and liquids

Waves• Formula for calculating the velocity of a wave:
– v: velocity (in m/s)
– : wavelength (in m)
– f: frequency (in Hz or 1/s)
v = f

Waves• amplitude – a measure of the energy carried
by a wave
– Transverse Waves
• the taller the wave, the more energy it has
• the shorter the wave, the less energy it has

Waves• amplitude – a measure of the energy carried
by a wave
– Compressional Waves
• the more dense the wave, the more energy it has
• the less dense the wave, the less energy it has
