3. WAVES
a propagation of disturbance trough a medium in
which energy is transferred.
A periodic disturbance in a medium that carries
energy from one point to another.
There are two types of waves: the transverse waves
and longitudinal waves.
4. Waves are created by
energy passing through
water, causing it to move in
a circular motion.
A pulse wave is a simple
disturbance, while a wave
train is a series of
disturbance created in a
medium.
Energy propagation by
means of motion of a
change in medium rather
than the medium itself is
called wave motion.
5. Types of waves
Waves can be classified according to the
direction of their oscillation. The two main
type of waves are transverse wave and
longitudinal waves.
7. Transverse waves
Is a wave in which the oscillation is perpendicular to the
direction the waves travels.
8. Longitudinal waves
Is a wave in which the oscillation is along the direction the wave travel.
The section of longitudinal wave where the particles are crowded together is
called compression, while the section where the particles are less crowded is
called rarefaction.
10. THE ANATOMY OF WAVES
Wave pulse – is a single ripple or disturbance in the medium.
Periodic waves –the disturbance occur at a regular rate, the
ripples follow a regular interval.
Crest or peaks – the highest points in the wave
Trough – the lowest points in the waves
Amplitude (a) – is the height of the crest or the depth of the
trough
11. Wavelength ( ) – the measure of the horizontal
distance between two successive crest or two
successive trough.
Frequency ( f ) – number of the crest or trough that
pass through a point every second.
Period ( T ) time taken to generate one complete
wave.
Speed(v) – distance of wave in one second.
14. SOUND
Sounds is a form of energy that is produced when air molecules vibrate and
move in pattern known as waves or sound waves.
Sound can travel in solid, liquid and gas. Everyday experiences heighten your
understanding of sound.
Sounds are longitudinal waves produced by vibrating bodies. Most sound
come to us through the air. The air acts as a transmitting medium. As form of
mechanical waves, sounds waves travel through air, resulting I the human
perception of hearing. When sound travels through air, molecules of air are
disturbed by the changes in the density and pressure of the air along the
direction of the wave motion.
This pressure variation that is transmitted through matter called sound wave.

16. Production and Perception of Sound
• Pitch a sound describes its highness and lowness
• Loudness of a sound is described by the amplitude of the sound
wave that reaches your eardrum.
• Audible sounds is within a range of sensitivity of the human ear.
It can be generated by your own voice, a loudspeaker, or a
musical instrument.
• Echo when a sound wave bounces off a surface and its reflected
back to your ears an echo is made.

19. Ray Model of Light
Isaac Newton, who is
popular for his laws of
motion, advocated that
light is made up of a
stream of tiny particles.
He prove this by conducting
experiment using two prisms.
When white light pass
through the first prisms, a
spectrum of colors appeared.
When the second prisms was
placed but in a inverted
position, the spectrum began
to go back to white light.

astronomer, and physicist,
who founded the wave
theory of light, discovered
the true shape of the
rings of Saturn, and made
original contributions to the
science of dynamics.

25. Sources of Light and their Transmission
A transparent medium allows the light pass
through.
Likewise, media that transmit light but do not
permit objects to be seen clearly through them
are translucent
26. • Unlike mechanical waves that are require a
medium to transfer energy, electromagnetic waves
are capable of traveling through a vacuum.
• Electromagnetic waves have an enormous range of
frequencies which is known as electromagnetic
spectrum.
