Welcome to 306! • Today is a new marking period – a new start! • DO NOW: • Please write three goals you have for yourself in Integrated Science for the second marking period.
Do NowChapter 11, Waves11/28/11 • Take out 11.1,2 and 12.1,2 H/W vocab cards • COLLECTED AND GRADED • What are the 2 main types of waves
Do NowChapter 11-12, Waves11/29/11 • Take out 11.1 Chapter Review H/W • Draw a transverse and longitudinal wave • Show direction of particle movement in each wave
Types of Waves • Section 11.1
Waves • A disturbance that transmits energy through matter or space
Waves • Most waves move through matter called a medium. • Ex. Waves traveling through water.
Types of Waves • 1. Mechanical Waves a wave that requires a medium through which to travel • Most type of waves Ex. Sound, seismic
Types of Waves • 2. Electromagnetic Waves waves caused by the disturbance in electric and magnetic fields and that does not require a medium. (light radiation waves)
What do Waves Do? • When waves travel through media they are doing work (energy transferred). • Ex. Sound traveling in your ear causes vibrates throughout your ear
What do Waves Do? • Ex. Shock waves move the earth during an earthquake. • Ex. Tsunami waves move anything in their path
How a Wave Travels • As wave travels in air, the waves spread out in spheres • the sphere will get bigger and bigger as they move farther away
How a Wave Travels • Why is it more damaging to your ears if you are standing next to a speaker rather than a 100 meters away?
How a Wave Travels • Each sphere carries the same amount of energy • But the energy is more spread out of a greater distance.
Speaker Sound waves
Vibrations and Waves • Most waves are caused by a vibrating object, which will then cause other objects to vibrate • Vibrations will transfer energy from PE to KE.
Vibrations and Waves • simple harmonic motion--vibration would continue forever • Damped harmonic motion transfers the energy and the vibration will fade out. • Ex. Shock absorbers on cars and bikes.
Wave Vibration Types • 1. Transverse Waves -a wave that causes the particles of the medium to vibrate perpendicular to the direction of the wave. • “The Wave” at a stadium is a good illustration. • Ex. Light waves
Wave Vibration Types • 2. Longitudinal Waves -a wave that causes the particles of the medium to vibrate parallel to the direction of the wave. • they expand and compress. • Ex. Sound waves
Wave Vibration Types • 3. Surface Waves -waves that are both transverse or longitudinal. -Circular motion -ex. Ocean waves
Wave Types • Mechanical waves: -can be transverse, longitudinal , or surface waves • Electromagnetic (light): -waves will only be transverse.

Wave Properties • all transverse waves have similar shapes, no matter the size of the wave. • The shape is called a sine curve or sine wave.
Wave Parts • Crest Highest point of a transverse wave • Trough lowest point of a transverse wave
Wave Parts • Amplitude -The vertical distance that particles vibrate from their normal position when a wave passes • measures the intensity of wave. -ex. Loudness, brightness
Wave Parts • Wavelength -The distance between any two successive identical parts of a wave • Represented by the symbol lambda () • Measured in a degree of meters
Wave Diagram Wavelength Amplitude Crest trough Wavelength
Wave Properties • 1. Wavelength -measures the size of the wave
Wave Properties • 2. Amplitude -measures the intensity (strength) of the wave
Wave Properties • 3. Frequency -the number of full wavelengths that pass a point in a particular period of time (rate) -Represented by the symbol (ƒ) -Measured in hertz (Hz) = beat/sec -Your radio dials are in megahertz
Wave Properties • 4. Period (time) -The time required for one full wavelength to pass a certain point -Represented by the symbol (T) -Measured in seconds
Low Low Wavelength High High
Frequency, wavelength, and Period • Wavelength and period will increase when frequency decreases. • λ ↓, T, ↓, then f ↑
Frequency and Period • You can calculate frequency and period from each other • T=1/f or f=1/T
Frequency and Sound • We hear sounds from the range 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz • determines the pitch
