Slide 3

Are created when a source of energy causes a vibration to move through a medium.

Slide 4

Is a wave that causes the medium to vibrate perpendicular to the direction of the wave.

Slide 5

Is a wave in which the vibration of the medium (movement of the particles) is parallel to the wave direction.

Slide 6

Slide 7

Are waves that travel along a surface separating a media. It contains both transverse and longitudinal waves.

Slide 8

Periodic frequency is any motion that repeats at regular intervals and any periodic motion has frequency, which is the # of complete cycles in a given time period. Frequency = cycles /s or hertz (Hz) or 1/s

Slide 9

Wavelength is the distance between a point on one wave to the same point on the next wave in a cycle recorded in meters(m).

Slide 10

Wave speed = Wavelength * Frequency Or v = * f v = speed(m/s) =wavelength(m) f = frequency(Hz or 1/s)

Slide 11

Amplitude is the maximum displacement of a wave from its rest position. It can be measured from the trough or the crest to rest. rest

Slide 12

Slide 13

RReflection is when a wave bounces off a surface it cannot pass through. It does not change the speed or frequency of a wave but the wave can be flipped upside down.

Slide 14

RRefraction is the bending of a wave as it enters a medium at an angle. It occurs because one side of the wave is moving more slowly than the other.

Slide 15

DDiffraction is the bending of a wave as it moves around an obstacle. The larger the wavelength in comparison to the obstacle the more it diffracts.

Slide 16

IInterference occurs when two or more waves overlap and combine together. They can be constructive or destructive.

Slide 17

AAre transverse waves consisting of electric fields and changing magnetic fields. They are produced when an electric charge vibrates or accelerates. They can travel through a vacuum or a medium.

Slide 18

AAlbert Michelson measured the speed of light more accurately then his predecessors. He used a series of mirrors to do it.

Slide 19

A. 3.00 X10 8 m/s B. Or 6.7x10 8 mph WWhen calculating wave frequency of EMS we use A for speed

Slide 20

SSometimes light behaves as both. TThomas Young showed that light behaves as a wave.

Slide 21

HHeinrich Hertz found that shining a light on metal emitted electrons. It was later determined by Einstein that light is composed of Photons and that the higher the energy of the wave the greater its ability to emit electrons from a medium like metal.

Slide 22

DDecreases as photons travel farther from their source.
