Waves:Some vocabulary Crest – The uppermost part of a wave Trough – The lowest part of a wave Amplitude – The height of the crest or the depth of the trough -The higher the amplitude the louder the sound (Decibels) Wavelength – The distance between 2 successive crests of waves. Frequency – The number of waves occurring over a period of time. Measured in hertz (Hz). 1 Hz = 1 cycle/ second -High frequency results in higher pitch of sound

2 Basic types of waves
1.) Transverse wave – wave in which the displacement of the medium’s particles is at right-angles to the direction of the wave motion.

2.) Longitudinal wave – wave in which the
displacement of the medium’s particles is in line with or parallel to the direction of the wave motion.

Frequency of a sound wave is the number of vibrations that occur in a second. -measured in hertz -The greater the frequency, the higher the note. Pitch is how high or low the sound seems to a person. Intensity is a measure of the amount of energy carried by a sound wave.

Doppler EffectDoppler Shifting - Background Info
• http://www.astrocappella.com/background/doppler_background.shtml
• Blue Shift: As the star moves towards earth, the star appears to have shorter wavelengths (blue = 500nm)
• Red Shift: As a star moving away from earth appears to have longer (red) wavelengths. (approx 650nm)
"Blueshifts come, and redshifts go, and that's pretty much everything you need to know."

Frequency
• Tuning Forks – Pitch – Frequency – wavelength
In scientific terms, the speed of a tuning fork's vibrations is known as its frequency, a quantity measured in hertz (Hz), or vibrations per second.
The faster it vibrates the higher the perceived pitch.
Which tuning fork would have the
-longest Wavelength?
-lowest pitch?
-lowest frequency?

temperature to increase • At 10,000,000 C, nuclear
fusion begins in the core.

Conduction and Convection
• Conduction: transfer of energy by vibrating molecules directly touching. – Molecules move faster when they’re heated
• Convection: Movement of gases or liquids when heated unevenly. – Cold air sinking, warm air rising helps heat
Earth’s surface evenly. • WINDS are created by:
– Pressure lowers under warm air masses – Cool air moves to low pressure regions.

• Differ by temperature and altitude
• As altitude increases, air pressure decreases.

Greenhouse Effect • Long wavelengths (infrared
rays) trapped • Atmosphere TRAPS heat
energy and cannot escape back into space. – Result Warms Earth’s
surface – Human activity can change the
balance & cause the avg. temp. to increase .
– Global warming can lead to climate changes.

Low Pressure Systems
*Wave Cyclones* • Travel West to East
across the US – Westerly Winds
• Low Pressure (warm
air rises up off of the ground) – Clouds and stormy weather probable.
• Cyclones (tornadoes, hurricanes) – Spin
counterclockwise – Air moves upward – Air moves in.

absorbed or released influences temp. – Land vs. Water:
• Land warms faster (unmoving) • Water warms slower (waves, currents keep mixing) • Water takes more energy to warm 1 degree
(specific heat) • Water releases heat more slowly
– Evaporation • More water evaporates over water than over land • Evaporation is a cooling process

Land and sea breezes:
*Land surface heat more in daytime, cools more at night ►
Results in diurnal reversal in wind directions
► Pattern reverses at night after land becomes cooler than ocean
No wind when land and ocean temperatures comparable
Surface heating initiates upward expansion over land
Cellular circulation develops and strengthens during afternoon

Ocean Currents • Currents influence air that contacts it. • Winds towards shore… away from shore...
– N.Europe: big influence, U.S. not much.
