Section 1Slide3
Objectives
1. Explain the relationship among waves, energy, and matter
2. Describe the difference between transverse waves and compressional wavesSlide4
A. Waves Carry Energy
Waves (rhythmic disturbances that carry energy without carrying matter) can carry energy by itself or with matter
Example – if a boat makes waves, then just energy is moving through the wave in an outward motion, but if you throw a ball, the energy is traveling in the direction of the ball along with the matter of the ballSlide5
But how does a wave carry energy without transporting matter?
If a line of students were standing shoulder to shoulder and passing a ball to each other without moving their feet and only their hands (ball is being passed side to side) then the ball is not actually moving, but the people are. The energy is traveling through the students, not the ball. Would the ball be able to move without the students? But the ball can represent the motion of the energy that is being moved. So… what do the people represent if the ball represents energy?
Answer:
Waves!Slide6
B. Wave Motion!
Ever wondered how the waves move the way they do?
Ever been in a pool or the lake and you bobbed up and down instead of moving forward or backward?
Water molecules actually move in a circular motion which causes that bobbing motion rather than a distinct forward or backward motion. The molecules will bump into each other and transfer the energy from one to another.
It depends on the amount of energy exerted that determines on the strength and size of the wave
Any type of energy will cause a wave to move outward, but if there isn’t enough energy it won’t be strong enough to actually move or carry matter.Slide7Slide8
C. What do you think?
How can being near a source of deep, loud sounds, such as heavy machinery or the subwoofer of a stereo, demonstrate that waves carry energy???
Answer:
Try this: With a partner, turn to each other and take turns saying hello in a deep voice. You can actually feel and hear the vibration coming from their voice.
You can
feel
the vibrations as well as hear
the sound!Slide9
D. Mechanic Waves
Mechanical waves (use matter to transfer energy) travel through matter called mediums
In an example of ripples on a pond, what would be the medium?
Answer:
The mechanical wave travels as energy is transferred from particle to particle in the medium which can be liquid, solid or gas.
You would not be able to hear a sound wave if it weren’t for air in which the air molecules transfer the energy to your ear.
Water!Slide10
E. What do you think?
Why do you think the word mechanical is appropriate for waves that need matter to move?
Hint: think about what a machine does…. Think about why your mechanical pencil is called “mechanical” instead of just “pencil”.
Answer:
One definition of a machine is: a device that
transmits energy. In a mechanical wave, matter
transmits energy.Slide11
F. Transverse Waves
T
ransverse wave (a type of mechanical wave that the wave energy causes the matter in the medium to move up and down or back and forth at right angles to the direction the wave travels)
Example: a rope tied to the wall and you moving it up and down. Watch as the rope appears to move away from you but it is not. The wave is what is moving away.
The high points of the waves are called crests
The low points of the waves are called troughsSlide12
Diagram of a waveSlide13
G. Compressional Waves
Compressional wave (a type of mechanical wave in which matter in the medium moves forward and backward in the same direction that the wave travels)
Example: Imagine holding a slinky in both hands with them stretched apart. You move one hand and a wave is sent to the other end. The slinky did not leave your hand and travel with the wave. Instead the part of the slinky that moved like a wave bounced back and forth until it was at its origin in a resting positionSlide14
Slinky WavesSlide15
H. Sound Waves
A type of compressional wave
Example: your voice is created when your vocal cords move in which you feel a vibration same as if you were to touch the speaker on a stereo when music is playing
All waves are produced by something that vibratesSlide16
I. Making Sound Waves
When something is producing sound it actually touches some of the air molecules around it in which those air molecules carry the energy that travels to your ear
But from the beginning source of the sound, the medium pushes the air molecules making them squeeze together
Compression (the group of molecules that are squeezed together)Slide17
When the medium moves downward during the vibration, the molecules have space to move away from each other
Rarefraction
(a place where molecules are far apart)Slide18
J. Electromagnetic Wave
Electromagnetic wave (a wave that does not require matter to carry energy)
These are transverse waves that are produced by the motion of electrically charged particles
Can travel through mediums that are solid, liquid or gas just like what?
Answer:
Example: Radio waves. They don’t stop when they reach your house. They travel right through it.
Mechanical
Waces
!Slide19
Unlike mechanical waves, electromagnetic waves can travel through space or a vacuum where no matter exists
What is another type of wave, other than a radio wave, that can travel through space?
Answer:
Light wave!Slide20
But wait! There’s more!
Other waves that travel through space include:
INFRAREDSlide21
VISIBLE Slide22
ULTRAVIOLETSlide23
Another type of electromagnetic wave:
X-RAY
This is actually

Section 2
Wave PropertiesSlide28
Objectives
1. describe the relationship between the frequency and wavelength of a wave
2. Explain why waves travel at different speedsSlide29
A. Amplitude
The amplitude of a transverse wave is (half the distance between a crest and a trough)Slide30
In a compressional wave, the amplitude is greater when the particles of the medium are squeezed together in each compression and spread farther apart in each
rarefractionSlide31
B. Amplitude and Energy
A wave’s amplitude is related to its energy that the wave carries
Example: a bright light has greater amplitude than a dim light same a loud sound has greater amplitude than a soft sound and same with energy carriedSlide32
Tsunami
A tsunami is created by underwater earthquakes along fault lines in the ocean floor and result in a huge wave onto land. Some waves reach up to 30 meters (100 feet) but there was one recently in Japan that reached 40 meters. The energy a tsunami carries above shore creates much damage to property and

C. Wavelength
Transverse Waves Wavelength (the distance from the top of one crest to the top of the next crest or the bottom of one trough to another trough
Another way to describe a wave
Compressional Waves Wavelength (the distance between the center of one compression and the next or the center of one
rarefraction
to the nextSlide34
Wavelengths are different depending on type of light such as a red light has a wider wavelength than a green light
It is the wavelength of visible light that determines its colorSlide35Slide36
D. Frequency
Frequency (the number of wavelengths that pass a given point in 1 second)
The unit of frequency is the # of wavelengths/s (per second) or hertz (Hz)
All waves are produces by?
Answer:
VibrationsSlide37
The faster the vibration is, the higher the frequencySlide38

E. Color and Pitch
Frequency and Wavelength are related which means either one will determine the color of a light wave meaning blue light has a larger frequency and a shorter wavelength than a red light
In a sound wave, either the wavelength or frequency determines the pitch (the highness or lowness of a sound)Slide42
F. Wave Speed
During a thunderstorm, do you hear the thunder first or do you see the lightening first?
Answer:
Light travels quicker than sound.
It depends on the distance of the
lightening. The further away it is, the
more likely you are to see the lightening
before you hear the thunder.Slide43
Sound travels faster in solids than in liquids and faster in liquids than in gases
This is because atoms are closer to each other in a solid than in a liquid, and closer together in a liquid than in a gas
Electromagnetic waves travel faster in gases than in solids or liquids
Example: you can get to your next class quicker if the hallways were empty same as electromagnetic waves
If many atoms are in the medium, then they are slowed downSlide44

Section 3
Wave BehaviorSlide49
Objectives
1. Explain how waves can reflect from some surfaces
2. Explain how waves change direction when they move from one material into another
3. Describe how waves are able to bend around barriersSlide50
A. Reflection
Reflection (occurs when a wave strikes an object or surface and bounces off)
Example: an echo is a reflected sound
Sound is actually reflected off of all surfaces, but most surfaces absorb it which is why you don’t always hear an echoSlide51
Your reflection in the mirror happens because light waves produced by a light source bounce off of your face, strike the mirror or shiny surface, and reflect back into your eyes
The smoother and shinier the surface, the more reflection you will see. The more rough spots or uneven a surface is, the light bounces off in an scattered way causing the reflection to be less likelySlide52
B. Refraction
Refraction (the bending of a wave as it moves from one medium into another)
Have you ever dropped something in the water and tried grabbing for it but missed? That’s because the light rays from the object changed direction as they passed from the water into the airSlide53
C. Refraction and Wave Speed
The speed of a wave can be different in different materials
Example: light waves travel faster in air than in water
Refraction occurs when the speed of a wave changes as it passes from one substance to anotherSlide54
A line perpendicular to the water’s surface is called the “normal”
When a light ray passes from air into water, it slows down and bends toward the normal, but when the light ray passes from water to air, it speeds up and bends away from the normal
The larger the speed change of the light wave, the larger the change in the direction
Example: shine a flashlight into water and the light Slide55Slide56Slide57
What is happening here?Slide58
D. Color from Refraction
Refraction causes prisms to separate sunlight into many colors and produces rainbows too
What produces a rainbow?
Answer:
Sunlight refracts as it enters
raindrops, reflects from the far
inside surfaces of the drops, and
refracts as it leaves the drops.Slide59Slide60Slide61
E. Diffraction
Diffraction (the bending of waves around a barrier)
Not the same bending as refraction which is when waves change speed through a medium
Example: hearing music from another room because the sound waves bend around the door and down the hallway, but the speed of the sound waves remain the sameSlide62
F. Diffraction of Light Waves
Light waves do not diffract as much as much as sound waves
Think about it: you can’t see inside the classroom playing music before you enter it, but you can hear it
Light waves do diffract at an extremely small amountSlide63
Think about it: you can see light under a closed door because the light waves are diffracting around the edges but not at the same amount that is inside the room
The diffraction of light waves is too small for you to see around a corner.
How cool would that be if you could though?Slide64
G. Diffraction and Wavelength
Light waves have a wavelength between 400 and 700 billionths of a meter
Sound waves that you can hear have wavelengths between a few millimeters and about 10 meters
A wave is diffracted more when its wavelength is similar in size to the barrier or opening
In other words… the light wave is too smallSlide65
H. When Waves Meet
Waves pass right through each other and continue moving as though the other wave never existed Slide66
I. Wave Interference
Interference (the ability of two waves to combine and form a new wave when they overlap)
Constructive interference (the crest of one wave overlaps the crest of the other)
The amplitudes of these combine make a larger wave while they overlapSlide67
Destructive interference (occurs when the crest of one wave overlaps the trough of another wave)
When they combine, the amplitude is smaller
If the two waves have equal amplitudes and meet crest to trough, they cancel each other out during the overlap

J. Reducing Noise
Too much expose to loud noises can damage your hearing
Protective ear wear absorbs some of those loud sounds to prevent your ear/hearing from being damaged
While you can keep those noises out, you can also keep them inSlide69
