What is a wave?
Spreading of disturbance from one place to another.
The source is a vibration or oscillation.Energy is transferred from one point to
another WITHOUT physical transfer of any material between the two points

Two types of waves…
Mechanical – waves that require a medium in which to travel
Electromagnetic (EM) – do not require a medium – think light!

Two types of Mechanical waves:
Type of Mechanical wave depends on the direction of the displacement of the wave itself.
TRANSVERSE – displacement is perpendicular to starting position
LONGITUDINAL – displacement is parallel to starting position

Transverse Waves
Transverse waves travel in a direction PERPENDICULAR to the direction of the vibrations.

Test Yourself!
Rhonda sends a pulse along a rope. How does the position of a point on the rope, before the pulse comes, compare to the position after the pulse has passed?

LONGITUDINAL WAVES
Longitudinal waves travel in a direction PARALLEL to the direction of vibrations.
Example: Sound

Longitudinal Waves
Compressions are Where the coils/particlesAre squeezed together.
Rarefactions are Where the coils/particlesSpread out.

Challenge
Describe how the fans in a stadium must move in order to produce a longitudinal stadium wave.

One more question….
A wave is transporting energy from left to right. The particles of the medium are moving back and forth in a leftward and rightward direction. What type of wave is this?
What if the particles move upward and downward?

FOOD FOR THOUGHT
In space films, we often hear the sound of the engine of the spaceship as the zoom past each other in outer space. We even hear the spaceship firing lasers at one another. What is seriously wrong in the films?

FOOD FOR THOUGHT
Why don't incoming ocean waves bring more water on to the shore until the beach is completely submerged?
![Page 32: GENERAL PROPERTIES OF WAVES INTRODUCTION TO WAVES](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649f135503460f94c26ccd/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
FOOD FOR THOUGHT
How will the motion of water waves change as they move from deep to shallow water? How about from shallow to deep water?
(Hint: Consider the speed of the waves)
