waves

by:aggrey
What is waves?
• wave a disturbance that carries energy
  through matter or space; transfer energy
  without transferring matter
• Substance through witch a wave travels
Wave characteristics-
                  wave motion
• Longitudinal waves-
  a mechanical wave       • Transverse wave- a
  in which the              mechanical wave
  disturbance is in the     that vibrates
  same direction or
  parallel to the           perpendicular to the
  direction of wave         direction of the
  motion                    waves motion
• Earth quake p waves     • ex- visible light
• Ultra sounds              microwave
Wave characteristics-
             parts of wave
• Amplitude wave-in any periodic motion the
  maximum distance an object moves from
  equilibrium.


• Wave speed- the speed of a wave depends on
  the medium through which the wave moves.
(Formula: wave speed=wave length x frequency)
(v=λf)
Wave characteristics
                         •Frequency-the rate at
• Wave length the        wich the waves occur
  spatial period of
  the wave
• Example-A visible
  light wave is 400
  to 700
  nanometers.
  Radio waves have
  the longest wave
  length
Mechanical waves
• Mechanical waves- waves that requires a
  medium
• Characteristic- displacement ,amplitude, wave
  length.
• ocean waves, seismic waves, and sound waves
Electromagnetic waves
• A wave of energy having a frequency within
  the electromagnetic spectrum
• Characteristics- can travel through a medium
• Examples- radio ,waves microwaves, x-rays
The eltrmagnetic spetrum
• What is the eltromagnetic spectrum
Visible light
• Roygbiv The R in ROYGBIV stands for RED, the
  O for ORANGE, the Y for YELLOW, the G for
  GREEN, the B for BLUE, the I for INDIGO and
  the V for VIOLET
What does each have on the behavior
             of waves
