• Do Now: Take a clicker. Observe the demo. You have 3 minutes with your group to draw what you see and LABEL the following terms correctly on your drawing:– crest – Trough – Amplitude – Wavelength
• HW: p. 388 #1-9, 11-13 ….Read & Study the corresponding sections in CH. 25 (7 points – ½ point per problem, and 1 point for a randomly graded one)
• PLEASE check the Lost & Found. Claim what is yours – BE HONEST AND DON’T STEAL. Anything left at the end of the year will be trashed or donated
Label the key terms MORE THAN ONCE:crest, trough, amplitude, wavelength
TROUGH is the lowest point on a wave
Label the key terms MORE THAN ONCE:crest, trough, amplitude, wavelength
CREST is the highest point on a wave
Label the key terms MORE THAN ONCE:crest, trough, amplitude, wavelength
Amplitude is the distance from the midpoint to the crest or the
midpoint to the trough
Label the key terms MORE THAN ONCE:crest, trough, amplitude, wavelength
Wavelength is the distance between 2 IDENTICAL,
CONSECUTIVE PARTS of a wave

• CREST is the highest point on a wave • TROUGH is the lowest point on a wave • Amplitude is the distance from the midpoint to
the crest or the midpoint to the trough • Wavelength is the distance between 2 IDENTICAL,
CONSECUTIVE PARTS of a wave
What is a wave?
• A vibration or disturbance.• A wiggle in space and time• Any other definitions? • SOUND & LIGHT are forms of energy that
travel in waves.• However, they travel in different types of
waves… to be discussed later!
Frequency (ƒ)
• How OFTEN /FREQUENTLY a wave happens• # of wave cycles OR wavelengths in one
second.• Measured in Hertz (Hz).• 1 Hz = 1 wavelength OR wave cycle per second• “When a frequency is too high, it HERTZ your
ears!”– Becca Caplinger
Period (T)
• The TIME PERIOD for ONE wavelength / wave cycle
• A period is the time it takes for 1 complete wave length / wave cycle
• 1 cycle = 1 complete trip– 1 trip back & forth, crest to crest – Around and back to the same point (1 wavelength) – 1 wave = 1 cycle
• Measured in seconds
They are INVERSES of each other!!!
• Clapping demo
period = 1 frequency
frequency = 1period
See board for formula in symbols!
Analogy
• One class PERIOD at RHS is 90 minutes. – (time it takes for 1 class = 90 minutes…that’s the
PERIOD)• You have 1 class per 90 minutes, which is how
FREQUENTLY you have classes
T = 90 minutes f = 1 class 90 minutes
• They are inverses!
True or false: When a wave travels in a medium (material) the medium moves
with the wave.

DO THE WAVE demo
• Write down your observations…. • It’s not the medium that moves with the
wave… it is the ENERGY that is transmitted! The energy moves!
But wait – what’s a medium?
• It’s not someone who summons spirits.• It’s synonym for material!• Different types of solids, liquids, and gases are
all examples of mediums.• Changing the TEMPERATURE changes the
medium:– Example: temperature in this room vs temp.
outside: different temps, different mediums (even though they are both air!)
Formula in words:
Wave speed = wavelength x frequency
Formula in symbols: Units: (m/s) = (m) x Hz
25.4 Wave Speed The speed of the wave depends on the

Slinky Wave Lab• Safety Rules:• All labs must be completed with the slinky FLAT
on the floor• Damaging, twisting, tangling, or otherwise
rendering the slinky useless will result in one or more of the following:– Write up– Loss of lab privileges– You buying me a new slinky
• Have fun! Stopping with 5-10 minutes left for a clicker exit!

What do your answers tell you about wavelength and frequency? Are they
directly or inversely proportional?
