1.2a Define electromagnetic wave.

1.3a Identify an electromagnetic wave.

1.4a Identify a mechanical wave.

1.5a Differentiate between mechanical and electromagnetic waves.

What’s a wave?

Wave: a rhythmic disturbance that transfers energy through matter or space

Two general types of waves: Mechanical waves

Electromagnetic waves

Mechanical Waves Require matter to travel through

The matter the mechanical wave travels through is called a MEDIUM

Examples of a medium that a mechanical wave can travel through: sound waves, earthquake waves, water waves

Can be transverse or longitudinal

Longitudinal Wave

Transverse Wave

Mechanical Waves

Two types of mechanical waves:

1. Transverse : matter moves in the medium at right angles to the direction that the wave is travelling Examples: water waves, S-type earthquake

waves

2. Longitudinal: vibration is parallel to the direction of motion of the wave; back and forth motion; also called compressional waves Examples: sound waves, P-type earthquake

waves

Transverse Waves

Crest: highest point of a transverse wave

Trough: lowest point of a transverse wave

Amplitude: the amount of energy carried by a wave; corresponds to the height of a transverse wave

Wavelength: the distance between two identical points on a wave

Longitudinal/Compressional Waves

Rarefaction: expanded portion of the wave; particles are spread apart

Compression: compressed (squeezed) portion of the wave; particles are pushed together

Wavelength: the distance between two identical points on a wave

Amplitude: the amount of energy carried by a wave; corresponds to the amount of compression in a longitudinal wave

DO NOW FRIDAY

Answer the two analyzing data multiple choice questions on the sheet that was given to you.

DO NOW MONDAY Identify the parts of the

transverse wave labeled with letters below.

B C

D

Learning Targets

1.2b Identify the different parts of a wave.

1.3b Explain the strength of the wave by analyzing amplitude and wavelength.

1.4b Explain the relationship between the frequency and the type of wave.

Amplitude- amount of energy carried by a wave

Low Amplitude

Medium Amplitude

High Amplitude

Wavelength- distance between two identical

points on a wave

Short Wavelength

Long Wavelength

Frequency- the number of waves that pass a given point in 1

second

Low Frequency High Frequency

Relationship between amplitude, wavelength, frequency, and

energy

HIGH AMPLITUDE = HIGH ENERGY

LOW AMPLITUDE = LOW ENERGY

LONG WAVELENGTH = LOW FREQUENCY = LOW ENERGY

SHORT WAVELENGTH = HIGH FREQUENCY = HIGH ENERGY

DO NOW TUESDAYUse the following terms to answer the numbers below.

Medium Transverse Longitudinal EnergyCompression Rarefaction

1. Waves transfer this.2. Waves in which the matter moves at right angles to the direction of the wave .3. The matter a moves through.4. Waves in which the matter moves parallel to the direction of the wave.5. Expanded portion of a longitudinal wave.6. Squeezed together portion of a longitudinal wave.

Quiz Expectations

1. QUIET

2. Do your best. (Eyes on own paper.)

3. Finished? (Turn your scantron over and write a note or draw a picture for Mrs. Dyer on the back.)

Learning Targets

1.3b Explain the strength of the wave by analyzing amplitude and wavelength.

1.4b Explain the relationship between the frequency and the type of wave.

Wave Equation The speed of a wave is equal to its

frequency times its wavelength.

The equation is: Speed = frequency x wavelength

Use the triangle below to solve for the speed, frequency, or wavelength of a wave.

DO NOW FRIDAY

Answer the two multiple choice questions on the paper given to you.

Learning Targets

1.5a Differentiate between mechanical and electromagnetic waves.

1.3b Explain the strength of the wave by analyzing amplitude and wavelength.

1.4b Explain the relationship between the frequency and the type of wave.

Electromagnetic Waves Do not require a medium through which to

travel (means they can travel through a vacuum such as space)

Examples: radio waves, microwaves, infrared waves (heat), light waves, UV rays, X-rays, gamma rays

Are transverse waves

All electromagnetic waves travel at the same speed.

Their speed is the speed of light = 300,000,000 m/s

That’s 186,000 miles/second!!!!!!

DO NOW THURSDAY Each table will be assigned a word from the

Etch-A-Sketch Sheet.

You will write the word, the definition/important details about the word on the right side of your page and Sketch a good picture to help you remember it on the left side of the page. You will have 3 minutes to do this.

You will post your page on the wall.

Everyone in the class will do a gallery walk around the room and complete their Etch-A-Sketch WS, then turn in. You will have 7 minutes to do this.

Instructions for THURSDAY If you made Mastery on your Exam, you will do

an enrichment activity on the ChromeBooks, If you would like to redo questions that you missed on the exam, you may do so for half credit.

If you made Progressing, you will be given a redo sheet with the questions you missed and your incorrect answer. You will choose a new answer and explain why it is the correct answer. You may use your notes for this. You will receive half credit for every question you get correct.

If you made Needs Improvement, you will receive additional instruction from me and will redo the questions you missed on the exam.
