Waves are everywhere in nature
Sound waves, visible light
waves, radio waves, microwaves, water waves,
telephone chord waves,
stadium waves,
earthquake waves,
waves on a string,
slinky waves
12.1 Why study about waves?
useful puzzling

What is a wave?
*A wave is a disturbance that travels through a medium from one location to another.
*A wave is the motion of a disturbance
Examples: Waves in water; Seismic waves in the Earth
Read intro page 201
12.1 Waves If we poke a ball floating on
water, it will bob up and down (harmonic motion).The oscillating ball creates a wave on the water surface.— What is oscillation?Oscillation is a system of harmonic motion The first ball can make a second ball that is farther away oscillate. (move)
Explain the transfer of energy.

Water Demo
12.1 Waves *Harmonic Motion: Motion that
repeats itself. Like a ball bobbing up and down in the water
*What is oscillation?Oscillation is a system of harmonic motion Example: The first ball can make a second ball that is farther away oscillate. (move)

12.1 Evidence of wavesAnytime you see a vibration that movesAnything that makes or responds to sound Anything that makes or responds to light Anything that transmits information through the air
(or space) without wires— cell phones, radio, and television.
Anything that allows you to “see through” objects— ultrasound, CAT scans, MRI scans, and X rays

1. When you transmit information without anything obviously moving, you are using waves.A. Yes
B. No
2. How many different types of waves are there?
2.0
0.1
There are Two Types of Waves:1. *A transverse wave has its oscillations
perpendicular to the direction the wave moves.
(In other words: the wave bobs up and down)
Read page 203
3. [Enter question here]
A. True
B. False
2. *A longitudinal wave has its oscillations in the same direction as the wave moves.
There are Two Types of Waves:

*Longitudinal Wave
The wave we see here is a longitudinal wave.The medium particles vibrate parallel to the
motion of the pulse.*This is the same type of wave that we use to
transfer sound.Can you figure out how?? show tuning fork demo

Compare/Contrast Wave Types
The difference between the two types:
These are transverse waves.
A. True
B. False
19
This is a transverse wave:
A. True
B. False
20
Sound travels through a longitudinal wave.
A. True
B. False

Anatomy of a WaveNow we can begin to describe the
anatomy of our waves.We will use a transverse wave to describe
this since it is easier to see the pieces.

*Anatomy of a Wave
*In our wave here the dashed line represents the equilibrium position.
Once the medium is disturbed, it moves away from this position and then returns to it
24
Anatomy of a Wave
The points A and F are called the CRESTS of the wave.
*The crest is the point where the wave exhibits the maximum amount of positive or upwards displacement. (the top of the wavelength)
crest
25
Anatomy of a Wave
The points D and I are called the TROUGHS of the wave.
*The troughs are the points at the bottom of wavelength)
trough
26
Anatomy of a Wave
*The distance between the dashed line and point A is called the Amplitude of the wave.\
This is the maximum displacement that the wave moves away from its equilibrium.
Amplitude
27
Anatomy of a Wave
The distance between two consecutive similar points (in this case two crests) is called the wavelength.
*The wavelength is the length of the wave pulse.Between what other points is can a wavelength be
measured?
wavelength
4. There are two ways to measure a wave: from crest to
crest or trough to trough.A. True
B. False
28
29
Wave frequency
We know that frequency measure how often something happens over a certain amount of time.
We can measure how many times a pulse passes a fixed point over a given amount of time, and this will give us the frequency.
Wave Frequency* The frequency of a wave is a measure
of how often it goes up and down.*Wave frequency is measured in hertz.

Frequency, Amplitude and Wavelength
12.1 Wavelength
*Speed of a Wave:
v = f l
frequency (cycles/sec)
wavelength (m)
*speed (m/sec)
5. What is the speed of a wave that has a frequency of 10 hz and a wavelength of 50 m?
500.0
0.1
6. What is the speed of a wave that has a frequency of 5 hz and a wavelength of 30 meters?150.0
0.1
The frequency of a wave is how often it goes up and down.
A. True
B. False
The amplitude of a wave is the largest amount it goes above or below the equilibrium.
A. True
B. False
Waves are measured in joules.
A. True
B. False
Waves transfer energy through the disturbance of a medium.
A. True
B. False
Frequency is the measurement of height of a wave.
A. True
B. False
Sound is carried through transverse waves.
A. True
B. False
Your Turn:
Answer these questions with a partner:
1. Which of the following things must involve a wave? You may pick more than one. Explain each of your choices.a) A bulldozer is moving the dirt for a highwayb) A person is talking to someone on a cell phonec) An earthquake in the Pacific Ocean causes a house to
shake in Texasd) A car is going 70 miles per hour on a highwaye) Two people stop to listen to a jet passing overheadf) A doctor takes an X ray to check for broken bones
2. Draw a Transverse Wave. Label the a wavelength, amplitude, crest and trough.
