NATURE OF WAVES
MAIN IDEA:
Waves are vibrations that
propagate in a medium or
vaccuum.
THE NATURE OF WAVES
Waves
A disturbancethat travels
through a medium or a
vacuum that carries energy.
Medium
Materials or object in which
wave are propagated
Vacuum
An empty space without a
presence of air
THE NATURE OF WAVES
Wave pulse
Single, unrepeated
disturbance
Wave train
Succession of repeated
disturbances.
PROPERTIES OF
WAVES
PROPERTIES OF WAVES
PROPERTIES OF WAVES
A wave can be describe in terms
of:
Frequency
Period
Wavelength
Velocity
Amplitude
PROPERTIES OF WAVES
FREQUENCY (f)
The number of waves produced per
unit time
How often particles of the medium
vibrate when wave passes through a
medium.
SI unit: hertz (Hz)
1 Hz = 1 wave/second
PROPERTIES OF WAVES
PERIOD (T)
The time taken for a wave to complete one
cycle to pass a reference point.
It is the reciprocal of frequency
Express in unit of time (eg: seconds)
CHECK POINT:
Differentiate FREQUENCY and PERIOD.
Frequency refers to the number of waves produced per
unit time, while period is the time taken for a wave to
complete one cycle to pass a reference point.
PROPERTIES OF WAVES
WAVELENGHT (𝝀)
the distance between any two successive
points in wave that are in phase with each
other.
PROPERTIES OF WAVES
SPEED (v)
The distance traveled by wave per unit time
Can be obtained if the frequency and wavelenght
are known.
known as the basic wave equation
PROPERTIES OF WAVES
BASIC WAVE EQUATION
The general relationship that applies to
sound and light waves, other EM
waves, and waves in mechanical
media.
SAMPLE PROBLEM:
a) 3.5 m/s b) 3.5 m/s c) 2.5 m/s
PROPERTIES OF WAVES
AMPLITUDE (A)
Refersto the maximum amount of
displacement of a particle on the medium
from its resting position.
Greater amplitude = greater energy
CHECK POINT:
Differentiate WAVELENGTH and AMPLITUDE.
Wavelenght is the distance between any two
successive points in wave, while amplitude refers to
the height and/or depth of the wave from its resting
position.
CLASSIFICATION OF
WAVES
CLASSIFICATIONS OF WAVES
CLASSIFICATIONS OF WAVES
Mechanical Waves
requirea medium in order to be propagated
Cannot travel in a vacuum
Example: Sound wave
[Link]
CLASSIFICATIONS OF WAVES
Electromagnetic Waves
Can travel through a vaccum and in any medium
Examples: radiowaves, microwaves, infrared, visible
light, UV, xrays, & gamma ray
CLASSIFICATIONS OF WAVES
Transverse
The particles of the medium are vibrating perpendicularly
to the propagation of the wave.
Have “hills” and “valleys”
CLASSIFICATIONS OF WAVES
Transverse
Top of the “hill” is called crest.
Buttom of the “valley” is trough
CLASSIFICATIONS OF WAVES
Transverse
Example:
Electromagnetic waves
CLASSIFICATIONS OF WAVES
Longitudinal Waves
The particle of medium vibrate parallel to the direction
of the wave propagation.
CLASSIFICATIONS OF WAVES
Longitudinal Waves
Are composed of compressions and rarefactions
Compressions
Where particles of the medium are closed together
CLASSIFICATIONS OF WAVES
Longitudinal Waves
Are composed of compressions and rarefactions
Rarefactions
Where particles of the medium are apart.
CLASSIFICATIONS OF WAVES
Longitudinal Waves
Example:
Sound Waves
CLASSIFICATIONS OF WAVES
Transverse vs. Longitudinal
Compressions = crest
Rarefactions = trough
CLASSIFICATIONS OF WAVES
Some waves have both longitudinal and tranverse
properties.
Seismic waves (generated by earthquake)
Body waves
P waves, and S waves
P waves are longitudinal
S waves are transverse
Surface waves
Travel at the surface
Love waves
Rayleigh waves (fastest surface waves)
