Have you ever wondered

The big picture

What does a wave transfer copycgrahamphysicscom 2016

Did you know there are 2

groups of waves with 2

different types of waves

Mechanical waves have

two subgroups

Transverse and

Longitudinal Waves

The two groups are Mechanical waves and electromagnetic waves

(EM)

Practical Modelling waves

The wave travels away from the source The direction of the wave is at right angles to the movement of the source In a transverse wave the coils do not travel horizontally each coil of the Slinky just vibrates up and down

LO Understand the similarities and differences between types of waves

source moves up and down

direction of wave

coils vibrate up and down

Direction of energy transfer copycgrahamphysicscom 2016

Definitions bull Amplitude (A) displacement from rest position

bull Wavelength (λ) the distance between a particular point on a wave and the same point on the next wave

bull Frequency (f) the number of waves passing a particular point

bull A wave front is an imaginary line or surface that joined all adjacent points which have the same phase of vibration on the wave

bull Any two points on a wave are said to be in phase when they have completed identical fractions of their periodic motion
