Energy is sometimes transferred from place to
place by traveling in waves. Sound and light travel in waves. Some substances transport
energy through them in waves – like water
waves.

A wave is an energy disturbance that moves in a consistent manner. Some waves can travel through a vacuum (no matter), while
others travel through matter (called a medium). Waves that pass through a
medium do so without causing permanent
movement of the medium.
![Page 4: Waves](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051517/5681584e550346895dc5aad7/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
There are different types of waves with different
types of movement.
![Page 5: Waves](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051517/5681584e550346895dc5aad7/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Ocean waves travel in transverse waves. A
transverse wave causes particles to move up and
down while the wave moves forward
(perpendicular to the wave motion).
![Page 6: Waves](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051517/5681584e550346895dc5aad7/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)

Light waves also travel in transverse waves, however
light waves are electromagnetic waves.
Electromagnetic waves are able to travel either
through a vacuum or within a medium.
![Page 8: Waves](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051517/5681584e550346895dc5aad7/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
The Electromagnetic Spectrum
![Page 9: Waves](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051517/5681584e550346895dc5aad7/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Longitudinal waves (also called compression waves)
move particles back and forth parallel to the wave
motion. Sound and earthquake waves are longitudinal waves.
![Page 10: Waves](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051517/5681584e550346895dc5aad7/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Waves have properties and
scientists use these properties to
describe specific waves.
![Page 11: Waves](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051517/5681584e550346895dc5aad7/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Transverse waves have crests and troughs, a crest being the highest point of displacement,
and the trough the lowest point of displacement. A node is the point where it crosses
the median line.
![Page 12: Waves](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051517/5681584e550346895dc5aad7/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
The wavelength of a transverse wave is defined as the distance from one
crest (or top) of a wave to the next crest on the same
side.
![Page 13: Waves](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051517/5681584e550346895dc5aad7/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
The wavelength of a longitudinal wave is
measured from the center of one compression to the
center of the next.
![Page 14: Waves](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051517/5681584e550346895dc5aad7/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
The frequency of a wave is the number of wavelengths that
pass a point in a second.
(You could count the frequency of ocean waves by standing in one
place on a dock and counting how many wave crests pass in a given
time period.)Frequency is usually measured in
Hertz or cycles per second.
![Page 15: Waves](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051517/5681584e550346895dc5aad7/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
The wavelength and frequency of the same wave are related. As frequency
increases wavelength decreases and as frequency
decreases wavelength increases. (Or you can say
it the other way . . . As wavelength increases,
frequency decreases, etc.).
![Page 16: Waves](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051517/5681584e550346895dc5aad7/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
The amplitude of a wave is measure of the amount
of displacement it causes. In other words,
the amplitude is the distance from the center
of the wave to it’s highest point.
![Page 17: Waves](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051517/5681584e550346895dc5aad7/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Waves also interact with each other in various ways.
![Page 18: Waves](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051517/5681584e550346895dc5aad7/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Wave interference can occur between waves.
Interference can increase wave amplitude if the
crests and troughs of the waves coincide. If the
crest and trough of two waves coincide, they can
cancel each other or reduce the amplitude.
![Page 19: Waves](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051517/5681584e550346895dc5aad7/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Waves can also be reflected when they hit a
surface.
![Page 20: Waves](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051517/5681584e550346895dc5aad7/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
SOUND
![Page 21: Waves](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051517/5681584e550346895dc5aad7/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Sound travels in longitudinal waves. Sound waves are made when an
object vibrates and causes surrounding air molecules to take on a compression wave motion. This motion
is picked up by our eardrums and translated in
our brains into sounds.
![Page 22: Waves](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051517/5681584e550346895dc5aad7/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Sound waves can only travel in a medium (where
there is matter). They can not travel
in a vacuum.
![Page 23: Waves](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051517/5681584e550346895dc5aad7/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Changes in wavelength of sound waves cause volume changes, while changes in frequency result in pitch
changes.
![Page 24: Waves](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051517/5681584e550346895dc5aad7/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Sound waves travel at a speed of 330 m/s
in air at zero degrees Celsius.
Sound travels at different speeds in different media (water, wood, etc.) and at different temperatures.
![Page 25: Waves](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051517/5681584e550346895dc5aad7/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
LIGHT
![Page 26: Waves](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051517/5681584e550346895dc5aad7/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Light waves are transverse.
Changes in wavelength (and thus frequency)
cause light to appear in different colors.
![Page 27: Waves](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051517/5681584e550346895dc5aad7/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
When white light waves (like sunlight) pass through
a prism the various wavelengths are separated
out into a spectrum.
![Page 28: Waves](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051517/5681584e550346895dc5aad7/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
There are light wavelengths that are
visible and some that are invisible to the human eye.
![Page 29: Waves](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051517/5681584e550346895dc5aad7/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
The visible spectrum includes red, orange,
yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet light.
![Page 30: Waves](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051517/5681584e550346895dc5aad7/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
When red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and violet are combined, they produce
white light.
![Page 31: Waves](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051517/5681584e550346895dc5aad7/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
This entire visible spectrum can be seen in rainbows, puddles with oil, as light
passes through water, etc.
![Page 32: Waves](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051517/5681584e550346895dc5aad7/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Light waves travel in straight lines.
![Page 33: Waves](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051517/5681584e550346895dc5aad7/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
When light waves pass through a small opening they cross each other
turning the image upside down.
![Page 34: Waves](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051517/5681584e550346895dc5aad7/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Light waves can be reflected.
![Page 35: Waves](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051517/5681584e550346895dc5aad7/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Light waves can also be refracted (bent).
When our eye looks at the pencil in water, it looks broken because the light waves have been bent by the differing substances (air is less dense than water).
![Page 36: Waves](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051517/5681584e550346895dc5aad7/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Speed of LightThe velocity of light waves is consistent
at 299,792,458 m /s.

Waves are constantly surrounding us with
light, sound, and lots of other types of energy!
