Wavesrhythmic disturbances that carry energy through matter or space

Mediummaterial through which a wave transfers energy

solid, liquid, gas, or combinationelectromagnetic waves don’t need a medium (e.g. visible light)

Page 3: Waves

Speed of SoundDepends on:

Type of mediumtravels better through liquids & solids

can’t travel through a vacuum

Temperature of mediumtravels faster at higher temps

Page 4: Waves

WavesTwo Types:

Longitudinal Transverse

Page 5: Waves

Transverse WavesTransverse Wavesmedium moves perpendicular to the direction of wave motion

amplitude

corresponds to the amount of energy carried by the wave

Measuring WavesFrequency ( f )

# of waves passing a point in 1 second

Hertz (Hz)

shorter wavelength higher frequency higher energy

1 second

Page 13: Waves

Measuring WavesVelocity ( v )

speed of a wave as it moves forwarddepends on wave type and medium

v = × f v: velocity (m/s)

: wavelength (m)

f: frequency (Hz)

Page 14: Waves

WORK:v = × f

v = (3.2 m)(0.60 Hz)

v = 1.92 m/s

Measuring WavesEX: Find the velocity of a wave in a wave pool if its

wavelength is 3.2 m and its frequency is 0.60 Hz.

GIVEN:

v = ?

= 3.2 m

f = 0.60 Hz

Electromagnetic WavesElectromagnetic Radiation

transverse waves produced by the motion of electrically charged particles

does not require a mediumspeed in a vacuum = 300,000 km/s

electric and magnetic components are perpendicular

Types of EM RadiationRadiowaves

FM - frequency modulation AM - amplitude modulation

Microwavespenetrate food and vibrate

water & fat molecules to produce thermal energy

Page 20: Waves

Types of EM Radiation

Infrared Radiation (IR)slightly lower energy than visible light

can raise the thermal energy of objects

thermogram - image made by detecting IR radiation

Types of EM RadiationVisible Lightsmall part of spectrum we can see

ROY G. BIV - colors in order of increasing energy

R O Y G. B I V

red orange yellow green blue indigo violet

Page 22: Waves

Types of EM RadiationUltraviolet Radiation (UV)slightly higher energy than visible light

Types:UVA - tanning, wrinkles

UVB - sunburn, cancer

UVC - most harmful,

sterilization

Page 23: Waves

Types of EM RadiationUltraviolet Radiation (UV)

Ozone layer depletion = UV exposure!

Page 24: Waves

Types of EM RadiationGamma rays

highest energy EM radiation

emitted by radioactive atoms

used to kill cancerous cells

Radiation treatment using radioactive cobalt-60.

Types of EM Radiation

X rayshigher energy than UV

can penetrate soft tissue, but not bones
