• A. What are waves?
• 1. All waves begin with a source of energy that causes a back-and-forth or up-and-down disturbance, or movement.
• 2. A(n) wave is a disturbance that transfers energy from one place to another without transferring matter.

What are waves? (cont.)
• 6. There are three types of wave motion—transverse, longitudinal, and a combination of both.
• a. A(n) transverse wave is a wave in which the disturbance is perpendicular to the direction the wave travels.
• High points on the wave are called crests, and low points are called troughs.
• b. A(n) longitudinal wave is a wave that makes the particles of a medium move back and forth parallel to the direction the wave travels.
Longitudinal waves are mechanical waves because this type of motion can occur only when energy passes from particle to particle.
• 7. Two common waves in nature are water waves andseismic waves.
• a. In water waves, water particles move in circles, indicating that these waves are a combination of longitudinal andtransverse waves.
B. Properties of Waves
• 1. The wavelength of a wave is the distance from one point, suchas the crest, to the corresponding point on the next wave.
• 2. The frequency of a wave is the number of wavelengths that passa point each second.
Properties of Waves
• 3. Frequency is measured in hertz (Hz); the longer the wavelength, the lower the frequency.
• 4. Wave speed depends on the type of material, or medium, a wavetravels through.
Properties of Waves (cont.)
• 5. The maximum distance a wave varies from its rest position is the amplitude of the wave; the more energy a(n)mechanical wave has, the larger thewave’s amplitude will be.
Properties of Waves (cont.)
The more energy used to produce a mechanical wave, the farther a particle of the medium vibrates from its rest position.
• C. Wave Interaction with Matter
• 1. When you knock on one side of a door, the sound travels aslongitudinal sound waves through the door.
• 2. These waves travel through the matter that makes up the doorto the air on the other side.
Wave Interaction with Matter
• 3. The particles that make up the door absorb some of the sound energy; they increase their motion, changing to thermal energy. This causes a(n) decrease in the sound.
• 4. Some of the energy of your knock bounces, or reflects, back into the room; that is why you hear the sound.
• 5. Waves that bounce off a surface follow the law of reflection: theangle between the incident (incoming) wave and the normal (the perpendicular to the surface) is equal to the angle between the reflected wave and the normal.
• 6. Refraction is the change in direction of a wave as it changes speed, moving from one medium into another.
• 7. When entering a medium, waves refract toward the normal if they slow down and away from the normal if they speed up.
• 8. The change in direction of a(n) wave when it travels past theedge of an object or through an opening is called diffraction;sound waves spread around a(n) corner due to diffraction.
• A wave is a disturbance that transfers energy from one place to another without transferring matter.

• A wave can have a disturbance parallel or perpendicular to the direction the wave travels. Some waves have a combination of the two directions.
• Waves can interact with matter by reflection, refraction, and diffraction.

Light and Matter Interact
• 2. A(n) translucent material allows most of the light that strikes it to pass through; objects appear blurry through this material.
• 3. Light does not pass through opaque material.
Light and Matter Interact (cont.)
• 4. You see a clear reflective image when rays reflect from a(n) smooth surface.
• 5. Light interacts with different types of matter in different ways; some of the light is reflected, and some is transmitted or absorbed.
• E. Color
• 1. Colors people see are due to the wavelength of the light that enters their eyes; with a(n) luminous object, the colors are the wavelengths emitted by the object.
Color
• 2. Objects that are opaque absorb all of the wavelengths of light except the wavelengths of the color that people see when white light hits theobject; so the color of an opaque object is the color of the light that the object reflects.
• 3. The color of a transparent or translucent object is the color theobject transmits.
• F. Intensity of Light
• 1. Intensity is the amount of energy that passes through 1 m2 of space in 1 second.
• 2. Intensity varies with distance from the light source; the closer the source, the greater the intensity of the light.
• 3. Brightness is a person’s perception of the light intensity.
Intensity of Light
• G. Interaction of Sunlight and Matter
• 1. Particles that make up the air scatter the blue wavelengths of light more than they scatter longer wavelengths.
• 2. Refraction of sunlight causes the Sun to be visible even after it hasset below Earth’s horizon.
Interaction of Sunlight and Matter
• H. Vision and the Eye
• 1. Light enters the eye through the cornea which, along with thelens, focuses light onto the retina.
• 2. Cells in the retina absorb light and send signals about the light to the brain.

• What are some properties of sound waves?
• How do your ears enable you to hear sounds?
Sound
• Sound waves are longitudinal mechanical waves that must travel through a medium.
• Sound waves are vibrations that the ear can detect.
• The human ear is most sensitive to frequencies between 1,000 and 4,000 Hz.
What are sound waves?
• The sound waves you hear usually travel to your ears through air.
• Air particles are in constant motion.
• As the particles bounce off you and other objects, they exert a force, or pressure.
• Sound waves moving through air change the air pressure by causing air particles to move toward and then away from each other.
What are sound waves? (cont.)
A compression is the region of a longitudinal wave where the particles in the medium are closest together.
What are sound waves? (cont.)
A rarefaction is the region of a longitudinal wave where the particles are farthest apart.

• A sound wave can be described by its wavelength, frequency, amplitude, and speed.
• Many properties of sound waves depend on their compressions and rarefactions.
Properties of Sound Waves
• The perception of how high or low a sound seems is called pitch.
• The higher the frequency, the higher the pitch of the sound.
Properties of Sound Waves (cont.)
• The more energy you put into your voice, the farther the particles in the air move as they vibrate.
• The distance a vibrating particle moves from its rest position is the amplitude.
• The more energy used to produce the sound wave, the greater the amplitude.

Mechanical waves transfer energy from particle to particle in matter. Electromagnetic waves transfer energy through either matter or empty space.
• Waves are disturbances that transfer energy from place to place. A mechanical wave forms when a source of energy causes particles of matter to vibrate. A vibrating electric charge produces an electromagnetic wave.
• You can describe the wavelength, frequency, speed, amplitude, and energy of waves.
• Matter can transmit, absorb, or reflect a wave. It also can change a wave’s direction by refraction or diffraction.

Lesson 2: Light
• Light differs from other forms of electromagnetic waves by its frequency, wavelength, and energy. Light is the type of electromagnetic wave that people can see.
• Matter can transmit, absorb, and reflect light. These interactions differ in how much light the matter transmits and how it changes the direction of light.
• Cells on the retina of your eye change light into electric signals that travel to your brain.
• Sound waves travel through matter as a series of compressions and rarefactions. The frequency and wavelength of a sound wave determines the pitch. Sound waves with greater amplitude sound louder.
• Your ears collect and amplify sound and then convert it to signals that your brain can interpret.
