Waves

Ms. Juanita Larraín-Linton

Two types of waves

Transverse waves

“Up and down”: oscillations

Transverse waves

Longitudinal waves

“Back and forth”

rarefraction

compression

Longitudinal waves

Wavefronts

Each line is a compression

Wavefronts

Each line is a peak (or crest)

Describing waves

Frequency

Wavelength

Amplitude

How fast a wave moves

UNIT: m / s

Frequency

How many waves pass through a certain point per second

UNIT: Hz (hertz)

Wavelength

Distance between wavefronts (peaks or compressions)

UNIT: m

Amplitude

Refers to the magnitude of the wave

How “high” a peak is

Period

How long one wave cycle is (UNIT: s)

UNIT: s

Period and frequency

Period: how long it takes one wave to cycle

Frequency: how many waves pass through one point in a second

T = 1 / f

1 Waves and Vibrations Physics: Mr. Maloney. 2 Waves are everywhere in nature Sound waves, visible light waves, radio waves, microwaves, water waves,

Waves n Characteristics of All Wind-generated Waves n Deep Water Waves n Shallow Water Waves n Other Water Waves.

Sound Waves. Sound waves are MECHANICAL WAVES. Sound waves are LONGITUDINAL WAVES. Sound waves are used in a variety of techniques in exploring for oil.
