Module 4.1 – Introduction to Waves
Waves are caused by vibrations, such as objects undergoing simple harmonic motion. Although water waves, sound waves, springs, and light all seem very different, they share many properties that can be explained using a wave model. This module introduces trainees to some general wave properties which will later be applied to specific types of waves.

Superposition1. When waves collide they simply pass through one
another unchanged. They continue on as if there were no interaction.
2. While the waves overlap, they temporarily produce a resultant wave due to interference. The displacement of the medium is the sum of the displacements of each component wave Constructive Interference Destructive Interference

Module SummaryIn this module you have learned that• Mechanical waves need a medium while electromagnetic
ones do not.• Mechanical waves can be transverse or longitudinal.• The correct terminology to use when describing waves,
such as: period, frequency, crest, trough, amplitude, wavelength
• The speed of a wave depends only upon the medium in which it is travelling.
• Waves will be both reflected and transmitted at a boundary.
RRHS Physics Unit 4Slide #31
Module Summary• The frequency of a wave does not change when going
from one medium to another one.• When waves interfere with one another, they can
interfere constructively or destructively before passing through one another unchanged.
• A standing wave is an example of resonance in a medium.
• All waves are governed by the wave equation

Module 4.2 – Sound Waves
In this module, the wave properties studied in module 7.2 will be looked at in greater depth as they apply to sound waves. Although these properties can be observed in general with all waves, they are often easily observable and can be demonstrated using these specific types of waves. Sound waves are used in a variety of techniques in exploring for oil and minerals.

Module 4.3 – Electromagnetic Waves
The wave model of light will be applied to electromagnetic waves to further study wave properties such as reflection, refraction, and diffraction. A brief introduction to geometric optics is also included. An understanding of light is important as it applies to one of the principle means through which we obtain information, using both instruments and our sense of sight.
RRHS Physics Unit 4Slide #72
Light as a Wave• Two basic methods of transferring energy:
– Particles – for example, a baseball travelling through the air has kinetic energy which can be transferred to another object in a collision.
– Waves – water waves transfer energy to the shore and cause erosion.
• Newton proposed a particle model• Christian Huygens proposed a wave model• Newton’s model initially accepted
RRHS Physics Unit 4Slide #73
Light as a Wave• Huygens model began to gain more acceptance for the
following reasons. – double slit experiment to show that light passing through two
slits demonstrated the same interference pattern as two sources of water waves;
– speed of light was shown to be lower in water than in air; this supported Huygen's theory of refraction and contradicted Newton's theory of refraction.
• Huygens wave model replaced by Electromagnetic Wave Model

Check Your Learning1. Why is it better when the pages of a book are rough rather than
smooth and glossy?
Rough pages allow light to undergo diffuse reflection, meaning the light is not all reflected in the same direction. This reduces glare from the page.
2. A particular nearsighted person can only see clearly 0.50 m from their face. How far from a plane mirror should they be to see their image clearly?
They should be 0.25 m (or less) from the mirror. Because their image is the same distance behind the mirror as they are in front of it, the total distance from the person to their image will be 0.50 m.
RRHS Physics Unit 4Slide #80
Check Your Learning3. What is the angle of incidence if the angle between a reflected ray
and the mirror is 34o?
If the angle between the reflected ray and the mirror is 34o, the angle of reflection (the angle with the normal) is 56o (90-34). The angle of incidence must therefore be 56o.
4. The moon is 3.85×108 m away from the earth. How long does it take light reflected from the moon to reach the earth?

Two conditions required for total internal reflection to occur:
1. The light must be travelling from a higher index of refraction to a lower index of refraction.
2. The angle of incidence must be greater than the critical angle, θc, associated with the two materials.

Rule 1• Any ray drawn parallel to the principal axis will reflect

a. Is the image real or virtual?
b. What type of lens is it and what is its focal length?
c. What is the power of the lens?
RRHS Physics Unit 4Slide #134
Solutiona. Because the image is on the other side of the lens, it
must be real.
b. Because the image is real, the lens must be convex, or diverging (since concave lenses will always give virtual images). A positive focal length will confirm this.
