3 Page 3 of 38 Name Date Notes: Waves Intro Regents Physics Objectives: 1. Define the terms periodic wave, wave motion, transverse wave, longitudinal wave, and surface wave, and provide examples of each. 2. Compare and contrast mechanical waves with electromagnetic waves. 3. Define the terms period, frequency, amplitude, and wavelength, and solve problems that relate these quantities to wave speed. Vibrations A vibration is considered to be a in time. A vibration cannot exist in one but must move back and forth during a period of Systems that vibrate: Pendulum wiggle instant o - A swinging bob at the end of a string. time spring o Mass on the end of a Pulses and Waves energy. mass single disturbance Wave -- being transferred through a medium without the net movement of Pulse -- A of a medium that is not repeating Periodic Wave -- (Wave train) A disturbance of a medium that a regular interval energy Waves transfer...

Simple harmonic motion includes and can be described by several characteristics. How to describe a wave oscillates wave motion simple harmonic crest node nodal line Wavelength -- The distance from a point on a wave to the on the next wave Amplitude -- The distance from the nodal line to the of a wave. Frequency -- The number of times the in a given second of time. Units waves/second = which is the same thing as Period The amount of time required for one. Speed of a wave T o The at which the disturbance of the medium is traveling. o Speed of a wave is related to the wavelength and the frequency by the formula: 1 f v f same point crest or trough medium is disturbed hertz 1/s or s -1 time rate complete oscillation T = period (seconds) f = frequency v = speed of wave = wavelength f = frequency trough

On the following waves label: 1. direction of wave travel 2. direction of medium displacement Examples of transverse waves are: ocean waves, guitar string, light waves perpendicular 2. Longitudinal Waves A longitudinal wave is one where the medium oscillates in a direction the direction of overall wave motion. parallel to
