26 th 2016 Trigger Warning Well talk about tsunamis today Wave Steepness wave height H wavelength L If the wave steepness exceeds 17 the wave breaks Soanytime a wave exceed the 17 ratio it breaks At shore or at sea.

Prepared by Vince Zaccone. For Campus Learning Assistance Services at UCSB. Maxwell’s equations summarize the relationships between electric and magnetic fields. A major consequence of these equations is that an accelerating charge will produce electromagnetic radiation.. 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. . waves_04. 1. flute. clarinet. click for sounds. waves_04: MINDMAP SUMMARY - SOUND WAVES. 2. Sound waves, ultrasound, compressional (longitudinal) waves, pressure, particle displacement, medical imaging, superposition principle, stadning waves in air columns, constructive interference, destructive interference, boundary conditions, pipe – open and closed ends, nodes, antinodes, speed of sound in air, period, frequency, wavelength, propagation constant (wave number), angular frequency, normal modes of vibrations, natural frequencies of vibration, fundamental, harmonics, overtones, harmonic series, frequency spectrum, radian, phase, sinusoidal functions, wind musical instruments, beats, beat frequency, Doppler Effect, Doppler radar, shock waves. A wave is any disturbance that transmits energy through matter or empty space.. Energy can be carried away from it’s source by a wave. As a wave travels, it does work on everything in it’s path. Warm-Up: February 17/18, 2016. Vibrations and Waves. Chapter 14. A . periodic motion . repeats in a regular cycle.. Examples include:. Pendulums (such as on a grandfather clock). A mass at the end of a spring. 2022-2023 Season. Russ Burleson. geaux15@hotmail.com. . 1. Agenda. Binder Check/Homework review. Mechanical Wave overview. Transverse Waves. Surface Waves. Longitudinal Waves (general). Sound Waves (Longitudinal). Periodic Motion. 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 main disturbing force. Boundary between and within fluids with different densities. Energy is moving, not water. orbital motion. energy is transferred via circular motions. water (and gull) return to original position. the wave form moves forward. Motion decreases with depth. At. a depth of ½ of the wavelength, the motion is not significant.. Earthquakes-Tsunamis. Graviational. attraction-Tides. Wind waves move energy, not matter. Wind waves- Growth. Wind strength- must be moving faster than waves. Wind duration-longer creates larger waves. Chapter 10. Trigger Warning –. We’ll talk about tsunamis today. Roaring 40s. Furious Fifties. Screaming Sixties…. Wave Steepness . = wave height (H)/ wavelength (L). If the wave steepness exceeds 1/7 – the wave breaks!. The Scottish physicist James Clerk Maxwell (1831–1879) was the first person to truly understand the fundamental nature of light. . He proved in 1865 that an electromagnetic disturbance should propagate in free space with a speed equal to that of light..
