PPT-Waves-Chapter 4 Longitudinal Waves

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. 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. Sound waves, . visible light waves, . radio waves, . microwaves, . water waves, . sine waves, . Coffee waves,. Muddy waves. telephone chord waves, . stadium waves, . earthquake waves, . Aaron Bunch. 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. Sound waves, . visible light waves, . radio waves, . microwaves, . water waves. ,. stadium wave . . telephone chord waves, . . earthquake waves, . waves on a string, . wave –. . disturbance that carries energy through matter or space. medium –. . matter through which a wave travels. the physical environment in which phenomena occur. mechanical wave –. . wave that requires a medium through which to travel. 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 . 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 wave’s motion. . 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. 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..

A mass at the end of a spring. difference between mechanical waves and electromagnetic waves. . What is a wave?. A wave is a moving disturbance that transfers energy through matter or space. .
