PPT-Properties of Waves Ms. T.

4 Basic Properties of Waves Amplitude Wavelength Frequency Speed Amplitude Maximum distance the particles of the medium carrying the wave move away from the resting place Amplitude of Transverse Wave. Section 8.5. Key Terms. Audible Sound Waves. Infrasonic Wave. Ultrasonic Wave. Echo. Mach Number (. M. ). Pressure (. p. ). Sound Intensity. Decibel (dB). Categories of Sound Waves. Sound waves fall into three categories covering different ranges of frequencies.. Physics 4. Prepared by Vince Zaccone. For Campus Learning Assistance Services at UCSB. Maxwell’s Equations. 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.. 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. Prairie High School Physics. © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.. Chapter Contents. Section 1: Oscillations and Periodic Motion (This week). Section 2: The Pendulum (Monday). Section 3: Waves and Wave Properties (Thursday). Wave Properties. There are 6 main properties, or interactions, of waves that occur when a wave comes in contact with another wave , or a boundary. . The 6 Interactions of waves are. Interference. Diffraction. How do matter and energy interact when waves are generated?. What are the three main types of mechanical waves?. What are properties of waves?. Essential Questions:. Waves. A disturbance that transfers energy from place to place. 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. Wave. Repeating disturbance or movement. Carries energy through matter and space. Vibrations. Anything that moves in a rhythmic patter. Up and down. Back and forth. What is a Wave. All waves are produced when something vibrates. Period Motion. Any . motion that . repeats. at regular time intervals. Frequency. Number . of . complete cycles . in a given . time. Frequency . is measured in . Hertz (Hz). Properties of Mechanical Waves. 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. 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. 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.. States of matter. Matter. - the substance all things are made from can exist in 3 states.. Name three gases. Name three liquids. Name three solids. Can mater change its state? . If so how?. . Forces.
