May 12, 2014 Homework: Read pages 15-16 (Stop at Longitudinal Wave) in Sound and Light textbook- Define bold terms. -Unit vocabulary sheet due Friday Do Now: Write down homework Open textbook to pg. 14 Open notebook to page 30
A wave is a disturbance that transfers energy from place to place. How does a wave travel?
Medium: The material that a wave travels through • Solids- Like ropes • Liquids- Such as water- • Water waves use the medium of the surface of the water to travel.
Gases- Like air- For Sound Waves
Homework: Work on Unit Vocabulary Sheet- Due Friday Work on Vocabulary Card Do Now: • Write Down Homework • Open notebook to pg. 30 • Open textbook to pg. 15 May 13, 2014
Waves are created when a source of energy causes a medium to vibrate. How are waves created?
A Vibration- is a repeated back and fourth or up and down motion
Waves travel through a medium, but do they carry the medium itself along with it as it travels? – Look at Figure 1 on pg. 15- What happens to the top of the wave over time? Waves and Energy • -A wave moves through the medium (water), but it does not carry the medium along with it.
-Waves are classified according to how they move • Waves that move the medium at right angles to the direction that the waves are traveling. • -Move in one direction- Waves that move up and down or side to side. Transverse Waves
Crest- Highest parts of the wave Trough- The lowest part of the wave
~Homework: Read /review the words & diagrams on pages 18-21 in T.B ~Do Now~ • Write down homework • Open textbooks to page 16, Open notebooks to pg. 31. Title 31- Other types of waves • Read pg. 16- Longitudinal Waves and page17- • Then Define bold terms- in notebook on pg. 31 May 14, 2014
Compressions- the parts that are close together Rarefactions- Parts where the coils are spread out Energy travels parallel along the spring toy-creating a wave- once the wave passes each coil goes back to normal Longitudinal Waves
Combination of Transverse and Longitudinal Waves. -Circular type motion Surface Waves
May 15, 2014 • Homework: Questions on the board------------ • Finish wave diagrams if not finished in class. • Quiz on Section 1 and Section 2 on Wednesday 5-21 Do Now: • Write Down homework & Quiz information • Take out both Wave diagrams- Transverse (folded sheet of paper) and Longitudinal (half –sheet of paper) • Open textbook to pg. 18- Open notebook to page 32
Amplitude • Wavelength • Frequency • Speed Properties of Waves
Amplitude- The measure of how far a particle in the medium moves from rest when disturbed by a wave. Amplitude is a direct measure of the waves energy (From Rest –Crest) It is the maximum distance the medium moves above or below the rest position. (From rest to trough)
Wave length- Distance between two corresponding (alike) parts of a wave- Transverse Wave Crest to Crest Wavelength Measured from Trough to Trough
Longitudinal wave- Wavelength is measured from compression to compression
Measured by how compressed or rarefied the medium become. • The more crowded the compressions = the larger the amplitude. Amplitude- Longitudinal Wave
Wave length- Distance between two corresponding (alike) parts of a wave- Transverse Wave Crest to Crest Wavelength Measured from Trough to Trough

Longitudinal wave- Wavelength is measured from compression to compression
The number of complete waves that pass a given point in a certain amount of time. Frequency = (Wave)speed Wavelength Frequency- Measured in hertz(Hz) Ex: To increase the frequency you need to increase the amount of vibrations.
1. Waves are…… vibrations in a medium- Frequency= Number of Vibrations(Waves) that pass per second- 2. Frequency- • EX: If waves on a rope pass by every second, the frequency is 1 wave per second (1 Hz) 3.
Why do you see the lightning before you hear the thunder?? • Lightning and Thunder~~Speed of Sound vs. Speed of light! Who is faster???? ~~~~Speed of a wave~~~~ Speed = Wavelength x Frequency
