PPT-The Nature of Waves

What is a wave A wave is a repeating disturbance or movement that transfers energy through matter or space Waves transfer energy not matter The water waves below are carrying energy but are not moving Waves can only exist as they have energy to carry. The Child of General Relativity. A Necessary Change. Concepts after Einstein :-. Time is not absolute. There is no ether frame. Notion of . spacetime. Concepts before Einstein :-. There is a preferred reference frame ether. Sources and detection . Ravi . kumar. . Kopparapu. Center for Gravitational-Wave Physics (CGWP) . Gravity. Einstein’s General theory of relativity :. Gravity is a manifestation of curvature of 4- dimensional (3 space + 1 time) space-time produced by matter (metric equation ? g. Learning Objectives. Know why light is said to travel in waves.. Know what polarisation is.. Know how diffraction patterns occur.. Success criteria. Explain how experiments show that light travels in waves. . Earthquake. – shaking and trebling that results from the movement of rock beneath Earth’s surface.. Plate movement causes earthquakes from stress and faults in Earth’s crust. When the rock breaks earthquakes happen. Doppler Effect. ~apparent change in frequency of a wave due to the motion of the source of the wave.. If the object is moving towards the observer the frequency will appear to increase. If the object is moving away from the observer the frequency will appear to decrease. waves_04. 1. flute. clarinet. click for sounds. waves_04: MINDMAP SUMMARY - SOUND WAVES. 2.

Motion that repeats in a regular cycle is called . periodic motion. . . The revolution of a planet about its sun is an example of periodic motion. The highly reproducible period (T) of a planet is also called its year.. - Jon . Kabat. -Zinn. Waves are moving . energy. !. Most waves wind-driven. Moving energy along ocean/air interface:.

Wind strength- must be moving faster than waves. Wind duration-longer creates larger waves.
