What is a wave?
• Wave – a repeating disturbance or movement that transfers energy through matter or space
![Page 4: Chapter 10 Waves. Chapter 1o Section 1 The Nature of Waves](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022013111/5515729855034674578b505d/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
What is a wave?
• Wave – a repeating disturbance or movement that transfers energy through matter or space1. Molecules pass energy on to neighboring
molecules

What is a wave?
• Wave – a repeating disturbance or movement that transfers energy through matter or space1. Molecules pass energy on to neighboring
molecules2. Waves carry energy not matter.3. All waves are produced by something that
vibrates. (anything that moves up and down or back and forth)

A Medium
• A medium is a material through which a wave travels.– can be solid, liquid, or gas– not all waves need a medium to travel through• Example – Light waves or Radio Waves
![Page 8: Chapter 10 Waves. Chapter 1o Section 1 The Nature of Waves](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022013111/5515729855034674578b505d/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Mechanical Waves
• A mechanical wave is a wave that can travel only through matter. (solid, liquid, gas)– Example: Sound wave
• Question: Is theresound in space?
![Page 9: Chapter 10 Waves. Chapter 1o Section 1 The Nature of Waves](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022013111/5515729855034674578b505d/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Is their sound in space?
![Page 10: Chapter 10 Waves. Chapter 1o Section 1 The Nature of Waves](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022013111/5515729855034674578b505d/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Mechanical Waves
• A mechanical wave is a wave that can travel only through matter. (solid, liquid, gas)
– Transverse waves vs. Compressional waves
![Page 11: Chapter 10 Waves. Chapter 1o Section 1 The Nature of Waves](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022013111/5515729855034674578b505d/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Transverse waves
• Matter in a medium moves back and forth at right angles to the direction that the wave travels.
• AKA an S-Wave
• Ex. Water waves
![Page 12: Chapter 10 Waves. Chapter 1o Section 1 The Nature of Waves](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022013111/5515729855034674578b505d/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Compressional Waves
• Matter in the medium moves in the same direction that the wave travels.
• AKA P-waves• Ex. Sound
waves
![Page 13: Chapter 10 Waves. Chapter 1o Section 1 The Nature of Waves](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022013111/5515729855034674578b505d/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Combination of Waves
• Some waves are not purely transverse or compressional but instead will have a combination of both types of waves.
• Ex. Seismic waves

Wave Properties
Chapter 10 Section 2
![Page 16: Chapter 10 Waves. Chapter 1o Section 1 The Nature of Waves](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022013111/5515729855034674578b505d/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Waves can differ in…
1. How much energy they carry2. How fast they travel 3. How they look
![Page 17: Chapter 10 Waves. Chapter 1o Section 1 The Nature of Waves](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022013111/5515729855034674578b505d/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Parts of a Wave
• Transverse waves– Crests – the high points– Troughs – the lowest points
![Page 18: Chapter 10 Waves. Chapter 1o Section 1 The Nature of Waves](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022013111/5515729855034674578b505d/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Parts of a Wave
• Compression waves– compressions – the dense regions– rarefactions – the less dense regions
![Page 19: Chapter 10 Waves. Chapter 1o Section 1 The Nature of Waves](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022013111/5515729855034674578b505d/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
What is Wavelength?
• The distance between one point in the wave and the nearest point just like it.
![Page 20: Chapter 10 Waves. Chapter 1o Section 1 The Nature of Waves](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022013111/5515729855034674578b505d/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Frequency…• Frequency is how many wavelengths pass a fixed point
each second1. # expressed in hertz (Hz)2. As frequency
increases, wavelength decreases
3. The frequency of a wave equals the rate of vibration of the source that creates it.
![Page 21: Chapter 10 Waves. Chapter 1o Section 1 The Nature of Waves](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022013111/5515729855034674578b505d/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Frequency
• A period of a wave is the amount of time it takes one wavelength to pass a point.
• As the frequency of a wave increases, the period decreases.
• Period has units of seconds.
![Page 22: Chapter 10 Waves. Chapter 1o Section 1 The Nature of Waves](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022013111/5515729855034674578b505d/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Wave Speed
• Wave velocity, or v, describes how fast the wave moves forward.1. Velocity = wavelength x frequency
or v = λ x f2. light waves travel faster than sound waves (ex.
thunder and lightning, baseball bat)3. Sound waves travel faster in liquids and solids
than in gas.4. Light waves travel faster in gases and empty
space than in liquids and solids.
![Page 23: Chapter 10 Waves. Chapter 1o Section 1 The Nature of Waves](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022013111/5515729855034674578b505d/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Amplitude
• Amplitude is the measure of the energy in a wave.
• Amplitude of a compressional wave is related to how tightly the medium is pushed together at the compression– the denser the compressions, the larger the
amplitude is and the more energy the wave carries
– the less dense the rarefactions, the larger the amplitude and the more energy the wave carries

Chapter 10 Section 3
![Page 26: Chapter 10 Waves. Chapter 1o Section 1 The Nature of Waves](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022013111/5515729855034674578b505d/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Reflection
• Reflection occurs when a wave strikes an object and bounces off of it.
![Page 27: Chapter 10 Waves. Chapter 1o Section 1 The Nature of Waves](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022013111/5515729855034674578b505d/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Reflection
• Reflection occurs when a wave strikes an object and bounces off of it.– All types of waves can be reflected– The angle of incidence of a wave is always equal
to the angle of reflection.
![Page 28: Chapter 10 Waves. Chapter 1o Section 1 The Nature of Waves](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022013111/5515729855034674578b505d/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Reflection• Reflection occurs when a wave
strikes an object and bounces off of it.– All types of waves can be reflected– The angle of incidence of a wave
is always equal to the angle of reflection.• Normal – an imaginary line perpendicular to a reflective
surface• Angle of incidence – the angle formed by the wave striking
the surface and the normal• Angle of reflection – the angle formed by the reflected wave
and the normal
![Page 29: Chapter 10 Waves. Chapter 1o Section 1 The Nature of Waves](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022013111/5515729855034674578b505d/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Refraction• Refraction – the bending of a wave caused by
a change in its speed as it moves from one medium to another
![Page 30: Chapter 10 Waves. Chapter 1o Section 1 The Nature of Waves](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022013111/5515729855034674578b505d/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Refraction• Refraction – the bending of a wave caused by a
change in its speed as it moves from one medium to another– The greater the change in speed is, the more the wave
bends– When a wave passes
into a material that slows it down, the wave is bent toward the normal
– When a wave passes into a material that speeds it up, the wave is bent away from the normal.
![Page 31: Chapter 10 Waves. Chapter 1o Section 1 The Nature of Waves](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022013111/5515729855034674578b505d/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
![Page 32: Chapter 10 Waves. Chapter 1o Section 1 The Nature of Waves](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022013111/5515729855034674578b505d/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
• Diffraction – an object causes a wave to change direction and bend around it
![Page 33: Chapter 10 Waves. Chapter 1o Section 1 The Nature of Waves](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022013111/5515729855034674578b505d/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
• Diffraction – an object causes a wave to change direction and bend around it
![Page 34: Chapter 10 Waves. Chapter 1o Section 1 The Nature of Waves](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022013111/5515729855034674578b505d/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Diffraction
• Diffraction – an object causes a wave to change direction and bend around it– If the object is smaller than the wavelength, the
wave diffracts a lot.– If the obstacle is much larger than the
wavelength, the wave does not diffract much– The larger the obstacle is compared to the
wavelength, the less the waves will diffract.
![Page 35: Chapter 10 Waves. Chapter 1o Section 1 The Nature of Waves](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022013111/5515729855034674578b505d/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
![Page 36: Chapter 10 Waves. Chapter 1o Section 1 The Nature of Waves](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022013111/5515729855034674578b505d/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Diffraction and Radio Waves
• AM radio waves have longer wavelengths than FM radio waves.– Because of these longer wavelengths, AM radio waves diffract around
obstacles like buildings and mountains.– AM radio reception is often better than FM reception around these
large structures.

Interference
• The ability of two or more waves to combine and form a new wave.1. Waves pass right
through each other and continue in their original direction.
![Page 39: Chapter 10 Waves. Chapter 1o Section 1 The Nature of Waves](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022013111/5515729855034674578b505d/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Interference
• The ability of two or more waves to combine and form a new wave.1. Waves pass right through each other and continue in
their original direction.2. New wave exists only while the two original waves
continue to overlap

Standing Waves
• Standing waves – a wave pattern that stays in one place
![Page 43: Chapter 10 Waves. Chapter 1o Section 1 The Nature of Waves](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022013111/5515729855034674578b505d/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Standing Waves
• Standing waves – a wave pattern that stays in one place– Form when waves of equal wavelength and amplitude that
are traveling in opposite directions continuously interfere with each other.
– Nodes form at the places where two waves always cancel each other.
