motion. (looks like a jump rope)2. Can travel through liquids, gases,
empty space and SOME solids.Ex) Ocean waves

direction of the wave, distance divided by time
• Units are m/s• The velocity of a wave
changes in every new medium it enters

• Sound travels at ~343 m/s and light at ~300,000,000 m/s
![Page 12: Waves. Wave: a disturbance that transfers energy from place to place. Medium: the material through which the wave can pass. Waves are classified by: 1](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062511/5514f03b55034693478b5e41/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Wave Formula
Wave formulav = f x w
Velocity = frequency x wavelength
Ex: A wave traveling at 3.0x108 m/s has a frequency of 10,000Hz. What is the wavelength of the wave?
3.0x108 m/s = 10,000Hz x ww = 3.0x108 m/s / 10,000Hz = 30,000m

Interference
• Interference - two or more waves traveling in the same medium can interact. They can reinforce each other called constructive interference (in-phase) or oppose each other called destructive interference (out-of-phase)
Ex: Waves can add or subtract to form a new wave (Rogue wave in ocean)

The Doppler Effect
• Doppler Effect - change in frequency of a wave based on the motion of the source or observer
• the frequency of a wave appears higher when approaching and lower when moving away from the observer
• Works for all waves
![Page 25: Waves. Wave: a disturbance that transfers energy from place to place. Medium: the material through which the wave can pass. Waves are classified by: 1](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062511/5514f03b55034693478b5e41/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Doppler Effect - Sound
• Sounds appear higher in frequency (pitch) when approaching and lower when moving away
Ex #1 - An police siren sounds higher frequency (pitch) when approaching and lower when moving away
![Page 26: Waves. Wave: a disturbance that transfers energy from place to place. Medium: the material through which the wave can pass. Waves are classified by: 1](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062511/5514f03b55034693478b5e41/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Doppler Effect - Light
• Light appears higher in frequency (closer to purple) when approaching and lower (closer to red) when moving away
• Ex #2 - Light appears higher frequency when approaching (Blue-Shift) and lower frequency when moving away (Red-Shift). Hubble proved the universe is expanding because light is shifted towards the red frequencies.

The Electromagnetic Spectrum
• Electromagnetic waves - energy caused by vibrating charged particles such as electrons
• All move the speed of light = 3.0 x 108m/s• Can travel through nothing at all (vacuum), and
go faster through less dense mediums• Are ordered based on energy, frequency, and
wavelength• Order: radio, microwaves, infrared (heat),
visible light, ultraviolet, x-rays, and gamma• ROYGBIV are the colors of visible light
![Page 32: Waves. Wave: a disturbance that transfers energy from place to place. Medium: the material through which the wave can pass. Waves are classified by: 1](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062511/5514f03b55034693478b5e41/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Electromagnetic continued…• Energy of electromagnetic waves are electron
volts (eV)• We only see the colors of visible light, but many
of the other waves can be detected with special instruments, some animals don’t see with visible light (insects, reptiles)
• Overexposure to the waves higher in energy than visible light (UV, x-ray, and gamma) can be harmful causing cancer and genetic mutations
• Electromagnetic energy is often aborbed into heat
