WAVESWAVES
Carries energy from one place to another Carries energy from one place to another Classified byClassified by what what they move through they move through
1.1. Mechanical WavesMechanical Wavesthe energy is transferred by vibrations of medium the energy is transferred by vibrations of medium (medium = matter)(medium = matter)ex/ ocean waves move through waterex/ ocean waves move through water
2.2. Electromagnetic waves (EM Waves)Electromagnetic waves (EM Waves)the energy moves through disturbances in the the energy moves through disturbances in the electromagnetic field.electromagnetic field.
a disturbance that transfers energy
MECHANICAL WAVESMECHANICAL WAVES
travel through & gradually lose energy to that medium
Examples:Examples: water, sound, rope, & water, sound, rope, &
spring wavesspring waves
Mechanical Media:Mechanical Media: water, air, rope, springwater, air, rope, spring
require a medium (the material through which the disturbance is moving) to transmit energy
Making a pulse
MECHANICAL WAVESMECHANICAL WAVESClassified by how medium vibrates
Pulse = direction of energy transfer
Vibration = direction of vibration of medium relative to pulse
3 types: Longitudinal, transverse, surface
MECHANICAL WAVESMECHANICAL WAVESClassified by how medium vibrates
Longitudinal Waves:Vibration is in the same direction as
wave pulse (parallel to wave pulse)
Transverse Waves:Vibration is at 900 (right angles) to wave pulse
Surface Waves:Vibration is circular Ex/ Ocean waves; surface waves
TRANVERSE WAVESTRANVERSE WAVES
Sideways or up & downSideways or up & down Examples:Examples:
S-type earthquake wavesS-type earthquake waves Electromagnetic (EM) or light Electromagnetic (EM) or light
waveswaves
Vibration is perpendicular to the direction of the motion of the wave
LONGITUDINAL WAVESLONGITUDINAL WAVES
Back and forth (compression & rarefraction)Back and forth (compression & rarefraction) Also called compression or pressure waveAlso called compression or pressure wave Examples:Examples:
P-type earthquake wavesP-type earthquake waves Sound wavesSound waves
Vibration is parallel to the direction of the motion of the wave
Rarefraction (expansion)
Compression
CHARACTERISTICS OF WAVESCHARACTERISTICS OF WAVESWaves are described according Waves are described according
to their to their AmplitudeAmplitude

Wavelength Wavelength distance of a “repeating unit”distance of a “repeating unit”Also called a cycleAlso called a cycle
Velocity Velocity vv speed = how fast wave travelsspeed = how fast wave travels
AMPLITUDEAMPLITUDE
Distance between “rest & crest” or “rest & trough”Distance between “rest & crest” or “rest & trough”
Gives indication of “power” Gives indication of “power” or “strength” of waveor “strength” of wave(magnitude of earthquake = (magnitude of earthquake = Richter scale)Richter scale)

Determines what colorsDetermines what colorswe see; what notes we hear (pitch)we see; what notes we hear (pitch)
Shorter wavelengths have more Shorter wavelengths have more cycles per minute because they cycles per minute because they aren’t as longaren’t as long
VELOCITY VELOCITY vv the rate at which the the rate at which the
