  1. Waves

  2. Electromagnetic Energy • Energy a. Def. ability to do work b. everything radiates electromagnetic energy B. Properties of electromagnetic energy 1. Electromagnetic energy a. Def. – is the energy that has properties of a transverse wave

  3. Crest Wavelength Amplitude Trough

  4. 2. Characteristics of a wave a) Crest top of a wave b) Trough bottom of a wave c) Amplitude the height of a wave from center to crest d) Wavelength distance between two different crests e) Frequency amount of waves that pass a given point in a certain amount of time

  6. Electromagnetic Spectrum a) entire range of electromagnetic wavelengths (ESRT. Pg. 14)

  7. How do electromagnetic waves differ? Different electromagnetic waves carry different amounts of energy. • The amount of energy carried by an electromagnetic wave depends on the wavelength: the shorter the wavelength, the higher its energy. • Wavelength and frequency are linked properties of a wave: the shorter the wavelength, the higher its frequency. • So, frequency also tells you about the energy of a wave: the higher its frequency, the higher the energy. Do microwaves have a shorter wavelength than X-rays?

  8. Laser Part 1 – Properties of Light Light travels in straight lines:

  9. Properties of Light summary • Light travels in straight lines • Light travels much faster than sound • We see things because they reflect light into our eyes

  10. Matter and electromagnetic energy 1. Five ways light can act a) Reflect – bounce b) Refract – bend c) Absorb – take in d) Transmit – give off e) Scatter – spread out

  11. We see things because they reflect light into our eyes: Homework

  12. What happens when waves hit a surface? How the waves behave depends on their energy and the type of material. For example, light waves are reflected by skin but X-rays pass straight through. If electromagnetic waves are absorbed, some of their energy is absorbed by the material. This usually increases the temperature of the material.

  13. Thunder and lightning start at the same time, but we will see the lightning first. Light travels much faster than sound. For example:

  14. Types of Mechanical Waves The types based on the way the wave moves. Transverse Medium moves at right angles to the direction of wave movement Top = crest; Bottom = trough; middle = rest position Ex: Rope Wave Longitudinal Medium and wave move in same direction. Area close together = compression; Area spread out = rarefaction Ex: Springs

  15. Transverse/longitudinal waves

  16. What are longitudinal waves? Sound travels as waves made up of vibrating air particles. PAT ARTWORK PC14_2 Sound waves are an example of longitudinal waves. In a longitudinal wave, the particles vibrate back and forth, so the direction of their movement is parallel to the direction of the wave. Think about the hairs on this fluffy cat vibrating backwards and forwards, as sound waves from the speaker pass by!

  17. What do longitudinal waves look like? A Slinky can be used to model longitudinal waves, by moving one end of the Slinky left and right. source moves left and right coils vibrate left and right direction of wave The wave travels away from the source.The direction of the wave is parallel to the movement of the source. In a longitudinal wave, the coils do not travel horizontally;each coil of the Slinky just vibrates left and right.

  18. What are the parts of a longitudinal wave? Certain parts of a longitudinal wave have special names. Sections that are pushed together are called compressions, and sections that are stretched out are called rarefactions. compression rarefaction Sound waves are longitudinal waves. When someone speaks, the air particles vibrate as a longitudinal wave, and so compressions and rarefactions are formed in the air. P waves, theprimary waves produced by earthquakes, are also longitudinal waves, which push and pull the Earth.

  19. Simulation of a longitudinal wave

  20. Wavelength of a longitudinal wave The wavelength of any wave is the distance between two matching points on neighboring waves. wavelength wavelength The wavelength is the same whichever two matching points are used to measure this distance. The symbol used to represent wavelength is .

  22. Color Color you see is the wavelength of color the object reflects. Primary Colors Three colors used to make every other color. Red, Green, Blue Secondary Colors Two primary colors mixed in equal amount. White light (all colors mixed)

  23. Color White light is not a single color; it is made up of a mixture of the seven colors of the rainbow. We can demonstrate this by splitting white light with a prism: This is how rainbows are formed: sunlight is “split up” by raindrops.

  24. The colors of the rainbow: Red Orange Yellow Green Blue Indigo Violet

  25. A pair of purple pants would reflect purple light (and red and blue, as purple is made up of red and blue): Purple light A white hat would reflect all seven colors: White light

  26. Sound Begins with a vibration Travels longitudinally through a medium (solid, liquid or gas) Humans make sound by vibrating vocal cords found in the larynx. Due to diffraction sound can bend around corners.

  27. Drawing sounds… This sound wave has a _____ frequency: This sound wave has a ___ _frequency:

  28. Drawing sounds… This sound wave has a _____ amplitude (loud): This sound wave has a _____ amplitude (quiet):

  29. Resonance Resonance Most objects naturally vibrate. When a wave passes through a material at the same frequency as the natural vibration. Can cause the natural object to start vibrating more strongly.

  31. Loudness and amplitude A sound can be quiet or loud. quiet sound loud sound On an oscilloscope trace, the loudness of a sound is shown by the height of the wave. This is called theamplitude. Which word should be crossed out in this sentence: The larger the amplitude of the wave on the trace, the louder/quieter the sound.

  32. Pitch and frequency A sound can be high or low – this is the pitch of the sound. low pitch high pitch On an oscilloscope trace, the pitch of a sound is shown by how many waves there are. This is called the frequency. Which word should be crossed out in this sentence: The greater the frequency of the waveson the trace, the lower/higher the pitch.

  33. Which wave is the loudest and highest? Which trace represents the loudest sound? A B Sound A has the largest amplitude (i.e. the tallest waves), so it is the loudest of these two sounds. Which trace represents the sound with the highest pitch? A B Sound B has the greater number of waves across the oscilloscope – it has the highest frequency and so has the highest pitch.

  36. Sound waves summary

  37. Doppler Effect The apparent change in frequency as a wave source changes position relative to the listener. Move towards listener = higher pitch. Waves reach listener with a higher frequency. Move away from listener = lower pitch. Waves reach listener with a lower frequency.
