Waves
• Wave-any disturbance that transmits
energy through matter or empty space
• Medium – substance through which a
wave can travel (solid, liquid, gas)
• Wave particles vibrate and pass the
energy to a particle next to it
• Mechanical waves must use a medium to
travel (sound, ocean waves)
• Electromagnetic waves travel without a
medium or in a vacuum (light waves from
the sun)
• Transverse wave-particles vibrate up and
down (wave travels forward while moving
perpendicular to the forward motion) - all
electromagnetic wave
• Longitudinal wave – moves back and
forth parallel with the direction of the
motion
• Compression – crowded
• Rarefaction-spread apart
• Properties of Waves :
• Amplitude-related to height, large wave
height, more energy
• Wavelength- distance between two crests
or compressions, shorter the wave length
the greater the energy
Frequency – number of waves in a given amount of
time, higher the frequency the greater the energy
Wave speed-the speed at which a wave travels
through a medium
Wave Behaviors
• Reflection – wave bounces back after hitting a barrier
(sound, light, heat), at same angle
• Refraction – bending of light due to a change in medium
and a change in wave speed
• Diffraction-bending of waves around a barrier or
through an opening
• Interference – the combination of two or more waves
that results in a single wave (Ex: resonance – when two
object vibrate at the same frequency)
• Absorption: energy transferred to particles of matter
Electromagnetic waves
• Electric fields surround all electrically
charged objects which causes the
magnetic field to be created.
• Light travels in a straight line until it hits an
object where it can be reflected, absorbed
or transmitted
• The speed of light can change depending
on the type of media (matter traveling
through)
• Light is a form of radiant energy (radiation)
that moves in transverse waves
• EM energy from the sun is major source of
energy on earth
• EM spectrum consists of: left to right
• Radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible
light, ultraviolet, x-ray, and gamma rays,
all move at the speed of light
• Energy is transferred as radiation
• Light travels at 300,000,000 m/s through a
vacuum and slightly less through air and
other materials
• 1 light year=9,500,000,000,000 km
(distance that light can travel in one year)
Sound
• Sound – energy transmitted through
matter (medium), no matter, no sound
– type: mechanical (must have matter)
– structure: longitudinal wave
• Composed of compression and rarefaction
waves (the slinky)
• Travel in all directions away from the
source
• Caused by the vibration of an object
EM spectrum is arranged from long wavelength to
short or from low frequency to high
Lenses and Mirrors
• Concave and convex lenses refract (bend)
light
• Concave – converge light (come together)
• Convex – diverge light (spread out)
• Convex mirrors - diverge light (small
upright image)
• Concave mirrors – converge light, upright
magnified image if close, inverted and
smaller if far away

Waves and light without star stuff

  • 1. Waves • Wave-any disturbance that transmits energy through matter or empty space • Medium – substance through which a wave can travel (solid, liquid, gas) • Wave particles vibrate and pass the energy to a particle next to it • Mechanical waves must use a medium to travel (sound, ocean waves)
  • 2. • Electromagnetic waves travel without a medium or in a vacuum (light waves from the sun) • Transverse wave-particles vibrate up and down (wave travels forward while moving perpendicular to the forward motion) - all electromagnetic wave • Longitudinal wave – moves back and forth parallel with the direction of the motion
  • 3. • Compression – crowded • Rarefaction-spread apart • Properties of Waves : • Amplitude-related to height, large wave height, more energy • Wavelength- distance between two crests or compressions, shorter the wave length the greater the energy
  • 4. Frequency – number of waves in a given amount of time, higher the frequency the greater the energy Wave speed-the speed at which a wave travels through a medium
  • 5. Wave Behaviors • Reflection – wave bounces back after hitting a barrier (sound, light, heat), at same angle • Refraction – bending of light due to a change in medium and a change in wave speed • Diffraction-bending of waves around a barrier or through an opening • Interference – the combination of two or more waves that results in a single wave (Ex: resonance – when two object vibrate at the same frequency) • Absorption: energy transferred to particles of matter
  • 6. Electromagnetic waves • Electric fields surround all electrically charged objects which causes the magnetic field to be created. • Light travels in a straight line until it hits an object where it can be reflected, absorbed or transmitted • The speed of light can change depending on the type of media (matter traveling through)
  • 7. • Light is a form of radiant energy (radiation) that moves in transverse waves • EM energy from the sun is major source of energy on earth • EM spectrum consists of: left to right • Radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, x-ray, and gamma rays, all move at the speed of light • Energy is transferred as radiation
  • 8. • Light travels at 300,000,000 m/s through a vacuum and slightly less through air and other materials • 1 light year=9,500,000,000,000 km (distance that light can travel in one year)
  • 9. Sound • Sound – energy transmitted through matter (medium), no matter, no sound – type: mechanical (must have matter) – structure: longitudinal wave • Composed of compression and rarefaction waves (the slinky) • Travel in all directions away from the source • Caused by the vibration of an object
  • 10. EM spectrum is arranged from long wavelength to short or from low frequency to high
  • 11. Lenses and Mirrors • Concave and convex lenses refract (bend) light • Concave – converge light (come together) • Convex – diverge light (spread out) • Convex mirrors - diverge light (small upright image) • Concave mirrors – converge light, upright magnified image if close, inverted and smaller if far away
