PPT-Waves What is a Wave? Longitudinal Wave

Transverse Wave Clickers What does a wave carry Energy Matter Particles Atoms Mechanical Waves Electromagnetic Waves Clickers A transverse wave travels to the direction of the waves motion . http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JN3BQxSroGs. So what is a wave?. Is it energy?. Is it force?. A . Wave. is a disturbance that . transfers. . energy from one place to another without transferring . matter. . Bellringer. : What is A wave? (define, use Ch.22 in your book to help you). What is an example of a wave?. General definitions of vibrations and waves. Vibration. : in a general sense, anything that switches back and forth, to and fro, side to side, in and out, off and on, loud and soft, or up and down is . 8. th. grade science!. 1.

Abstract. The example of seismic waves in earthquakes leads us to expect that longitudinal and transverse waves will have different wave speeds in . a Slinky. . Using video analysis software, the speeds of longitudinal and transverse waves were measured in . 2. Waves are everywhere in nature.

A disturbance that . propagates.  energy transferred. Examples. Waves on the surface of water. Sound waves in air. Electromagnetic waves. Seismic waves through the earth. Electromagnetic waves can propagate through a vacuum. MIT Haystack Observatory RET. Revised 2011. MOSAIC Background. MOSAIC stands for Mesospheric Ozone System for Atmospheric Investigations in the Classroom. . It is a method by which the level of ozone in the mesosphere (the layer above the troposphere and the stratosphere) can be measured.. Basic Properties of Waves. Amplitude. Wavelength. Frequency. Speed. Amplitude. Amplitude is the maximum distance the particles of the medium carrying the wave move away from their rest positions.. The farther the medium moves as it vibrates the larger the amplitude of the resulting waves. The greater the amplitude the greater the amount of energy. Waves transfer energy!. A wave does not carry matter . It only moves matter as it travels through it.. Waves. Compression (longitudinal) waves . are waves in which the particles of the medium move in a direction . Before the waves are made the particles are same distance apart. While waves moves through the medium the particles . compress. together, then they spread further apart (stretched areas)- . rarefaction.. J. C. Booth Middle School. Wave s. A disturbance that transfers energy from place to place.. wave. Mechanical waves are created when a source of energy causes a medium to. vibrate. The highest part of a transverse wave..
