- Wave Vibration through space and time Examples Light
(electromagnetic wave): does not need a medium; vibration of
electric and magnetic fields Sound: needs a medium; vibration of
matter Medium: something to travel through-solid, liquid, or a
gas

- Waves http://www.science-class.net/Notes/Notes_waves.htm
- Slide 5
- definitions Crest: top of a wave Trough: bottom of wave
Wavelength: distance from one crest to next Amplitude: distance of
midpoint to top or bottom Cycle: mid top mid bottom midpt.
Frequency: number of cycles per 1 second Frequency (Hertz) =
1/period Period: time it takes for one cycle Period(seconds) =
1/frequency
- Slide 6
- Practice Problems 1. an electric toothbrush completes 90 cycles
every second. What is the a)frequency and b) period? 2. Gusts of
wind cause the Sears Building in Chicago to sway back and forth,
completing a cycle every ten seconds. What at its a)frequency and
b) period?
- Slide 7
- Radio Waves Form of a wave AM stations have a frequency in kHz
FM stations have a frequency in MHz When listen to 93.7 the radio
is tuned to the frequency of 93,700,000 hertz (amount of times
electrons in the wave vibrate per second)
- Slide 8
- Speed of Waves Waves travel through the air or medium; medium
does not move Sound wave: travels at 340 m/s = ? mph (1m =.006214
miles) What is your speed when driving a car? Can you calculate the
speed of the water waves you created??
- Slide 9
- Speed of Waves With a wave Distance between two points =
wavelength Amount of time to travel = period Wave Speed =
wavelength / period Period = 1 / frequency Wave speed = frequency X
wavelength
- Slide 10
- Practice Problems 1. If a train of freight cars, each 10 m
long, rolls by you at the rate of three cars each second, what is
the speed of the train? 2. If a water wave vibrates up and down
three times each second and the distance between wave crests is 2m,
what are a) the waves frequency? B) wavelength? C) wave speed?
- Slide 11
- Types of Waves Transverse: direction wave moves is
perpendicular to the vibrating source Example: strings of
instruments, electromagnetic waves (radio, light, micro., x-ray)
Longitudinal: direction of wave and vibrating source are parallel
Example: sound
- Slide 12
- Sound Pitch: a high frequency results in a high pitch sound
seems louder (low results low pitch) Bird: high Lion: low Humans:
hear 20 to 20,000 hertz frequency As age the range decreases
Speakers: electrical signal vibrates the speaker, which is sent
into the air to vibrate the air moleculesthis vibration causes your
eardrum to vibrate and send electrical signals to the brain
- Slide 13
- Speed of Sound in Different Mediums Dry air: 330 meters per
second Warm air: sound travels faster than colder air Water:
travels 4 times as fast as air Steel: travels 15 times as fast as
air
- Slide 14
- Lightening Distance away can be estimated In general sound
travels 340 m/s during thunderstorms 1. What is the approximate
distance of a thunderstorm (lightening) when you not a 3 second
delay between the flash of lightening and the sound of
thunder?
- Slide 15
- Reflection of Sound Echo: reflection of sound Reflects off of
surfaces Concert Halls: need proper balance of reflection and
absorption of sound so all people can hear clearly Softer material
absorbs; harder reflects Drapes, carpet Use in sonar to locate
animals, submarines and planes.find earthquakes
- Slide 16
- Refraction of Sound Bending of sound waves Remember, warmer air
- sound travels faster Reflection and Refraction uses Ultrasounds
X-rays Mammals: dolphinsdolphins
- Slide 17
- Resonance Frequency of vibrations equals that of the material
natural frequency Increase amplitude of the wave Tacoma Narrows
Bridge
- Slide 18
- Interference of Waves Waves can interfere with one another Same
waves just produce a wave with greater amplitude Waves out of phase
(opposite) cancel each other out
- Slide 19
- Doppler Effect Change in wave frequency due to the motion of
the source (or receiver) Change in volume when a noise passes Fire
truck/ambulance Waves (volume increases) get closer together as
come closer to object and further apart as get further away (volume
decreases)

- Slide 22
- Vibrating electric and magnetic fields produce electromagnetic
waves electromagnetic waves are a form of transverse waves Light is
a form of electromagnetic wave; along with x-rays, gamma rays,
radio, and micro
- Slide 23
- Arrangement of electromagnetic waves according to their
frequency (number of vibrations per second) Visible light makes up
only 1 millionth of 1% em_spectrum.jpg High frequencyLow
frequency
- Slide 24
- The lowest frequency we see appears red The highest frequency
we see appears violet Ultraviolet is too high of a frequency for us
to see results in sun burn The frequency of the electromagnetic
wave as it vibrates through space is the same as the frequency of
the vibrating electric charge that generates it.
- Slide 25
- We can only see in the visible light part of the spectrum The
rest of the spectrum can not be seen with the human eye the waves
are a different frequency and wavelength they all travel at the
same speed High frequency short wavelength Low frequency long
wavelength
- Slide 26
- Is it correct to say that a radio wave is a low frequency light
wave? Is a radio wave also a sound wave?
- Slide 27
- Light travels in straight lines: Laser
- Slide 28
- Light travels VERY FAST around 300,000 kilometres per second.
At this speed it can go around the world 8 times in one
second.
- Slide 29
- Light travels much faster than sound. For example: 1)Thunder
and lightning start at the same time, but we will see the lightning
first. 2) When a starting pistol is fired we see the smoke first
and then hear the bang.
- Slide 30
- We see things because they reflect light into our eyes:
Homework
- Slide 31
- Material that allows light to pass through in straight lines
(see the same colors) Air Water Clear glass Waves (vibrations) of
light can force electrons in other materials to vibrate
- Slide 32
- Allows some light to pass through When light waves come into
the material they are scattered at different angles Can not see
clearly through the material Some plastics Frosted glass
- Slide 33
- Light waves do not pass through the material The light waves
are reflected or absorbed Can not see through the materials Wood
Metals stone
- Slide 34
- Shadows Shadows are places where light is blocked: Rays of
light
- Slide 35
- 1) Light travels in straight lines 2) Light travels much faster
than sound 3) We see things because they reflect light into our
eyes 4) Shadows are formed when light is blocked by an object

- Slide 37
- Earths atmosphere is transparent to visible light and some
infrared and ultraviolet. A very small amount of ultraviolet gets
through the atmosphere Which leads to sun burns Clouds:
semitransparent to ultraviolet light Results in sunburn on cloudy
days
- Slide 38
- 1. Why is glass transparent to visible light, but not to
ultraviolet and infrared? 2. Pretend that while you walk across a
room you make several stops along the way to greet people. How is
this analogous to visible light traveling through glass?
- Slide 39
- Reflection from a mirror: Incident ray Normal Reflected ray
Angle of incidence Angle of reflection Mirror
- Slide 40
- The Law of Reflection Angle of incidence = Angle of reflection
In other words, light gets reflected from a surface at ____ _____
angle it hits it. The same !!!
- Slide 41
- Light is reflected due to electrons vibrating at the frequency
of the electric field of light The electrons re-emit or reflect the
light because of their vibrations Paper: white-emits all
frequencies so you see white Ink: black-absorbs all frequencies so
you see black
- Slide 42
- Smooth, shiny surfaces have a clear reflection: Rough, dull
surfaces have a diffuse reflection. Diffuse reflection is when
light is scattered in different directions
- Slide 43
- 1. Why is it more dangerous to drive a car on a rainy
night?
- Slide 44
- Reflect the image The image looks the same distance behind the
mirror as it is in front of the mirror Due to the angle of
reflection
- Slide 45
- Flat mirrors: Produce the same image on the other side Curved
mirrors: Concave: Mirror curves inward Image appears larger and
further away Convex: Mirror curves outward Object appears smaller
and closer
- Slide 46
- Two examples: 1) A periscope 2) A car headlight
- Slide 47
- Double sided Convex: rays come together at a focal point Use in
glasses for far-sighted people Concave: rays are spread apart Use
in glasses when near-sighted

- Refraction is when waves ____ __ or slow down due to travelling
in a different _________. A medium is something that waves will
travel through. In this case the light rays are slowed down by the
water and are _____, causing the pen to look odd. The two mediums
in this example are ______ and _______. Words medium, speed up,
water, air, bent

- Slide 52
- 1. If the speed of light was the same in all media (plural for
medium), would refraction still occur when light passes from one
medium to another?
- Slide 53
- Different light frequencies (colors) bend at different angles
(refraction) in different transparent mediums rainbows
- Slide 54
- 1. If light traveled at the same speed in raindrops as it does
in air, would we have rainbows?

- Bending of waves around an object or surface learn.uci.edu
- Slide 56
- AM stations Longer wavelengths From 180 to 550 meters long
Easier for longer wavelengths to bend around buildings and objects
without being distorted FM stations Shorter wavelengths 2.8 to 3.4
meters Short waves dont bend well around objects

- Slide 60
- White light is not a single color; it is made up of a mixture
of the seven colors of the rainbow. We can demonstrate this by
splitting white light with a prism: This is how rainbows are
formed: sunlight is split up by raindrops.
- Slide 61
- Red Orange Yellow Green Blue Indigo Violet
- Slide 62
- White light can be split up to make separate colors. These
colors can be added together again. The primary colors of light are
red, blue and green: Adding blue and red makes magenta (purple)
Adding blue and green makes cyan (light blue) Adding all three
makes white again Adding red and green makes yellow
- Slide 63
- The color an object appears depends on the colors of light it
reflects. For example, a red book only reflects red light: White
light Only red light is reflected
- Slide 64
- A white hat would reflect all seven colours: A pair of purple
trousers would reflect purple light (and red and blue, as purple is
made up of red and blue): Purple light White light
- Slide 65
- If we look at a coloured object in coloured light we see
something different. For example, consider a football kit: White
light Shorts look blue Shirt looks red
- Slide 66
- Filters can be used to block out different colours of light:
Red Filter Magent a Filter
- Slide 67
- In different colours of light this kit would look different:
Red light Shirt looks red Shorts look black Blue light Shirt looks
black Shorts look blue
- Slide 68
- ObjectColour of light Colour object seems to be Red socks Red
BlueBlack GreenBlack Blue teddy RedBlack Blue Green Green camel Red
Blue Green Magenta book Red Blue Green
- Slide 69
- Color of filterColors that could be seen Red Green Blue Cyan
Magenta Yellow
- Slide 70
- Filters are aligned Light passes through Filters are at right
angles to each other Light doesnt pass through-is absorbed A third
filter is placed at an angle between the two at right angles Light
passes through
- Slide 71
- Sky is blue Air mainly nitrogen and oxygen Both smaller
molecules Smaller molecules scatter high frequency
waves=VIOLET/BLUE
- Slide 72
- http://www.weatherquestions.com/Why_are_sunsets_red.htm Sun has
a farther distance to travel at sunrise and sunset Does a long or
short wavelength diffract better? Long..=RED Red Sunsets
- Slide 73
- Clouds are made of water droplets Droplets vary in size
Different size molecules result in different frequencies of light
to scatter When the different frequencies (color) combine the
clouds appear white Bigger the droplets the less light gets
scattered and reflected darker clouds and soon after it rains!
