Waves
• A Wave is a disturbance that travels through a medium.– A wave carries energy– A wave does not transport matter.

Transverse Waves
• The movement or vibration is “up and down”– A transverse wave’s motion is perpendicular
to its travel

Longitudinal or Compression Wave
Direction of Travel
Vibration
• The vibration is “forward and backward”– The direction of vibration is the same as the
direction of travel

Mechanical Waves
• Mechanical waves need a substance or “medium” to travel through.
• Examples:– Sound Waves– Seismic Waves– Ocean Waves
![Page 8: Chapter 4 The Perception of Light & Sound Text Book pp. 91 to 116 Related concepts: Waves, Vision, Hearing, Telescopes UVX RaysIRRadioGamma](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56649de45503460f94adb7c8/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Electromagnetic Waves
• Electromagnetic waves do not need a substance or medium in order to travel. They may travel through empty space.
• Examples:– Radio waves– Infrared waves– Visible light– Ultraviolet light– X rays– Gamma rays
![Page 9: Chapter 4 The Perception of Light & Sound Text Book pp. 91 to 116 Related concepts: Waves, Vision, Hearing, Telescopes UVX RaysIRRadioGamma](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56649de45503460f94adb7c8/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

Sound
• Sound is carried by longitudinal, mechanical waves
• Sound needs air to travel through– In the vacuum of space, sound will not travel.
• The speed of sound through air is about 340 m/s or over 1000 km/h– That seems fast, but it is way slower than
light, which travels 299000 km/s
![Page 11: Chapter 4 The Perception of Light & Sound Text Book pp. 91 to 116 Related concepts: Waves, Vision, Hearing, Telescopes UVX RaysIRRadioGamma](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56649de45503460f94adb7c8/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
The Decibel Scale
• The decibel scale measures the intensity, or loudness of sound as perceived by the human ear.
Sound Decibels
Breathing, 3 m away 10
Murmur or whisper, 2 m away 20
Calm classroom 40
Intense road traffic, 3 m away 70
Motorcycle, without muffler, 2m away 100
Rock Concert / Jet engine (14m away) 120
Space Shuttle launch (50 m away) 200

Frequency & Wavelength
• Sound has the related properties of frequency (how fast the vibration that created the wave was) and wavelength (how long the waves are)– Frequency is measured in Hertz (Hz), also
called cycles per second. Its how many vibrations there were per second.
– Wavelength is measured in metres or centimetres
– The higher the frequency of a sound, the shorter its wavelength is.
![Page 13: Chapter 4 The Perception of Light & Sound Text Book pp. 91 to 116 Related concepts: Waves, Vision, Hearing, Telescopes UVX RaysIRRadioGamma](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56649de45503460f94adb7c8/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Frequency and Pitch of Sound
• High frequency sound wave (>1000Hz) have a very high pitch sound (high treble).
• Low frequency sound waves (<100 Hz) have a low pitch (bass)
• Mid-range sounds (100Hz to 1000Hz) are the most comfortable to the ear.– The mid-point of most musical compositions is C4 or
“middle-C” (262 Hz). – The octave that contains middle C runs from 220 Hz
(A4) to 440Hz (A5)
• The range of human hearing is said to be:– 20Hz to 20000Hz (on the average)
![Page 14: Chapter 4 The Perception of Light & Sound Text Book pp. 91 to 116 Related concepts: Waves, Vision, Hearing, Telescopes UVX RaysIRRadioGamma](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56649de45503460f94adb7c8/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Infrasound and Ultrasound• Frequencies below 20Hz are called
infrasound. – Human’s can’t hear them, but some animals,
like elephants, can.
• Frequencies above 20000 are called ultrasound.– Human’s can’t hear them, but some animals,
like dogs and bats, can– Bats use ultrasound to locate objects in the
dark (echolocation)– Hospitals use ultrasound to “see” the
development of a fetus.

Visible Light
• Light is a form of electromagnetic radiation (EMR) that humans can see with their eyes.– The different frequencies of light are
interpreted by our brains as different colours
Different light frequencies are interpreted as
colours

Refraction
• Refraction is the deviation (bending) of light as it passes from one transparent medium to another.
• For example, light refracts when it passes from air into glass or water.

Lenses• Lenses use refraction to collect, focus or
project light.• Lenses are made of transparent material (like
glass) and have at least one curved surface.• The two main types of lens are converging and
diverging.
• All of these devices use lenses:
Contact lens, eye eyeglasses telescope projector camera photographic lens

Converging, or convex, lenses focus light at a single focal point. Converging lenses can be used to create “real” images… Images that can be projected on a screen.Converging lenses are often used to enlarge or magnify images,
Diverging, or concave, lenses do not focus light at a single point. The so-called focal point of a diverging lens is a virtual point where the image would appear to be when viewed through the lens. Diverging lenses cannot project images onto a screen. Diverging lenses usually make things look small

Glasses
• Myopia: Near-sighted people need diverging lenses in their glasses.
• Near sighted people can see well close up, but not far away
• Hyperopia: far-sighted need converging lenses in their glasses
• Far-sighted people see things far away well, but cannot see close things well.
