10.1 The Nature of Waves Waves and Energy Because it is moving, the falling pebble has energy. As it splashes into the pool, the pebble transfers some of its energy to nearby water molecules, causing them to move. What you see is energy traveling in the form of a wave on the surface of the water.
10.1 The Nature of Waves Waves and Matter Imagine you re in a boat on a lake. Approaching waves bump against your boat, but they don t carry it along with them as they pass.
10.1 The Nature of Waves Waves and Matter The waves don t even carry the water along with them. Only the energy carried by the waves moves forward. All waves have this property they carry energy without transporting matter from place to place.
10.1 The Nature of Waves Making Waves A wave will travel only as long as it has energy to carry.
10.1 The Nature of Waves Making Waves
10.1 The Nature of Waves Making Waves It is the up-and-down motion of your hand that creates the wave. Anything that moves up and down or back and forth in a rhythmic way is vibrating. The vibrating movement of your hand at the end of the rope created the wave. In fact, -All waves are produced by something that vibrates.
10.1 The Nature of Waves Mechanical Waves Medium- matter the waves travel through is called a The medium can be a solid, a liquid, or gas
10.1 The Nature of Waves Mechanical Waves mechanical waves- Waves that can travel only through a medium. Not all waves need a medium. Light and radio waves, can travel through space. (No Medium) The two types of mechanical waves are transverse waves and compressional waves.
10.1 The Nature of Waves Transverse Waves transverse wave, Waves move at right angles to the direction that the wave travels. (Like water waves) For example, a water wave travels horizontally as the water moves vertically up and down.
10.1 The Nature of Waves Compressional Waves compressional wave, waves move the same direction that the wave travels. You can model compressional waves with a coiled spring toy.
10.1 The Nature of Waves Compressional Waves Squeeze several coils together at one end of the spring. Then let go of the coils.
10.1 The Nature of Waves Compressional Waves As the wave moves, it looks as if the whole spring is moving toward one end. The wave carries energy, but not matter, forward along the spring. Compressional waves also are called longitudinal waves.
10.1 The Nature of Waves Sound Waves Sound waves are compressional waves. When a noise is made, such as when a locker door slams shut and vibrates, nearby air molecules are pushed together by the vibrations.
10.1 The Nature of Waves Sound Waves The air molecules are squeezed together like the coils in a coiled spring toy are when you make a compressional wave with it. The compressions travel through the air to make a wave.
10.1 The Nature of Waves Sound in Other Materials Sound waves also can travel through other mediums, such as water and wood. When a sound wave reaches your ear, it causes your eardrum to vibrate. Your inner ear then sends signals to your brain, and your brain interprets the signals as sound.
10.1 The Nature of Waves Water Waves Ocean waves are formed most often by wind blowing across the ocean surface. The size of the waves that are formed depend on the wind speed, the distance over which the wind blows, and how long the wind blows.
10.1 The Nature of Waves Seismic Waves Forces in Earth s crust can cause regions of the crust to shift, bend, or even break. The breaking crust vibrates, creating seismic (SIZE mihk) waves that carry energy outward.
10.1 The Nature of Waves Seismic Waves Seismic waves are a combination of compressional and transverse waves. They can travel through Earth and along Earth s surface. The more the crust moves during an earthquake, the more energy is Click image to view movie released.

10.3 The Behavior of Waves To Be a Wave All waves must- Reflect, Refract, and Diffract.
10.3 Reflection How does the reflection of light allow you to see yourself in the mirror? It happens in two steps. First, light strikes your face and bounces off. Then, the light reflected off your face strikes the mirror and is reflected into your eyes. What about Sound Waves The Behavior of Waves
10.3 Echoes The Behavior of Waves Echo - sound waves hit an object, they reflect and come back to you. You hear the sound multiple times.
10.3 The Law of Reflection Draw this Picture: The beam striking the mirror is called the incident beam. The beam that bounces off the mirror is called the reflected beam. The Behavior of Waves
10.3 The Behavior of Waves The Law of Reflection The line drawn perpendicular to the surface of the mirror is called the normal.
The Behavior of Waves 10.3 The Law of Reflection The angle formed by the incident beam and the normal is the angle of incidence. The angle formed by the reflected beam and the normal is the angle of refection.
10.3 The Law of Reflection law of reflection- The angle of incidence is equal to the angle of refection. All reflected waves obey this law. The Behavior of Waves
10.3 Refraction The Behavior of Waves When a wave passes from one medium to another. It changes speed and direction. (Example: from air to water) If the wave is traveling at an angle when it passes from one medium to another, it changes direction, or bends, as it changes speed.
10.3 Refraction The Behavior of Waves Refraction- Bending of a wave caused by a change in its speed as it moves from one medium to another.
10.3 The Behavior of Waves Refraction of Light in Water Light waves travel slower in water than in air. This causes light waves to change direction and bend toward the normal When light waves travel from air to water, they slow down and bend toward the normal.
10.3 The Behavior of Waves Refraction of Light in Water You may have noticed that objects that are underwater seem closer to the surface than they really are. In the figure, the light waves reflected from the swimmer s foot are refracted away from the normal and enter your eyes.
10.3 The Behavior of Waves Refraction of Light in Water However, your brain assumes that all light waves have traveled in a straight line. The light waves that enter your eyes seem to have come from a foot that was higher in the water.
10.3 Diffraction The Behavior of Waves When waves strike an object, several things can happen. The waves can bounce off, or be reflected. If the object is transparent, light waves can be refracted as they pass through it. Waves also can behave another way when they strike an object. The waves can bend around the object.
10.3 Diffraction The Behavior of Waves Diffraction - an object causes a wave to change direction and bend around it. Diffraction and refraction both cause waves to bend. The difference is that refraction occurs when waves pass through an object, while diffraction occurs when waves pass around an object.
10.3 Diffraction The Behavior of Waves After they pass through the opening, the waves spread out.
10.3 The Behavior of Waves Diffraction and Wavelength Examples of diffraction?
10.3 The Behavior of Waves Hearing Around Corners Light waves have a much shorter wavelength. They are hardly diffracted at all by the door.
10.3 The Behavior of Waves Diffraction of Radio Waves AM radio waves have longer wavelengths than FM radio waves do. Because of their longer wavelengths, AM radio waves diffract around obstacles like buildings and mountains. As a result, AM radio reception is often better than FM reception around tall buildings and natural barriers such as hills.
10.3 Interference interference When two or more waves overlap and combine to form a new wave The Behavior of Waves
The Behavior of Waves 10.3 Constructive Interference constructive interference- waves add together.
10.3 The Behavior of Waves Constructive Interference
10.3 The Behavior of Waves Destructive Interference destructive interference- waves cancel each other.
10.3 The Behavior of Waves Standing Waves standing wave - waves equal in wavelength and amplitude, travel in opposite directions, and interfere with each other.
10.3 The Behavior of Waves Standing Waves in Music When the string of a violin is played with a bow, it vibrates and creates standing waves. Some instruments, like flutes, create standing waves in a column of air.
10.3 Resonance The Behavior of Waves resonance - object is made to vibrate by absorbing energy at its natural frequency If enough energy is absorbed, the object can vibrate so strongly that it breaks apart.
10.3 Section Check Question 1 State the law of reflection. Answer According to the law of reflection, the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection.
10.3 Section Check Question 2 is the bending of a wave caused by a change in its speed as it moves from one medium to another. A. diffraction B. diffusion C. refraction D. reflection

11.1 Sound Waves The Nature of Sound Sound waves are compressional waves. A compressional wave is made up of two types of regions called compressions and rarefactions.
11.1 Sound Waves The Nature of Sound When a radio speaker vibrates outward, the nearby molecules in the air are pushed together to form compressions.
11.1 Sound Waves The Nature of Sound When the speaker moves inward, the nearby molecules in the air have room to spread out, and a rarefaction forms.
11.1 Sound Waves The Nature of Sound As long as the speaker continues to vibrate back and forth, compressions and rarefactions are formed.
11.1 The Nature of Sound Traveling as a Wave Compressions and rarefactions collide with air molecules as energy is transferred. Compression- Air molecules close together Rarefaction- Air molecules spread apart A series of compressions and rarefactions travel to your ear that we interpret as sound
11.1 The Nature of Sound Moving Through Materials Most sounds you hear travel through air to reach your ears. If you ve ever been swimming underwater and heard garbled voices, you know that sound also travels through water.
11.1 The Nature of Sound Moving Through Materials Sound waves can travel through any type of matter solid, liquid, or gas. The matter that a wave travels through is called a medium. Sound waves cannot travel through empty space.
11.1 The Speed of Sound in Different Materials The Nature of Sound The speed of a sound wave through a medium depends on the substance the medium is made of and whether it is solid, liquid, or gas.
11.1 The Speed of Sound in Different Materials The Nature of Sound Sound travels the slowest through gases, faster through liquids, fastest through solids.
11.1 The Speed of Sound in Different Materials The denser the material the the closer the molecules are together which makes it easier and faster to transfer sound The Nature of Sound
11.1 The Speed of Sound in Different Materials Speed of sound doesn t depend on the loudness. The Nature of Sound All sounds travel through a medium at the same speed.
11.1 The Nature of Sound A Model for Transmitting Sound A line of people passing a bucket is a model for molecules transferring the energy of a sound wave.
11.1 The Nature of Sound A Model for Transmitting Sound When the people are far away from each other, like the molecules in gas, it takes longer to transfer the bucket of water from person to person.
11.1 The Nature of Sound A Model for Transmitting Sound The bucket travels quickly down the line when the people stand close together. The closer the particles, the faster they can transfer energy from particle to particle.
11.1 Temperature and the Speed of Sound The Nature of Sound As the temperature of a substance increases, its molecules move faster. Molecules more likely to collide with each other increasing sound speed. Click image to view movie
11.1 The Nature of Sound Human Hearing Vocal cords and mouths move in many different ways to produce various kinds of compressional waves. Your ears and brain work together to turn the compressional waves caused by speech, music, and other sources into something that has meaning.

11.2 Properties of Sounds Intensity and Loudness What happens to the sound waves from your radio when you adjust the volume? The notes sound the same as when the volume was higher, but something about the sound changes.
11.2 Properties of Sounds Intensity and Loudness The difference is that quieter sound waves do not carry as much energy as louder sound waves do.
11.2 Properties of Sounds Intensity and Loudness The amount of energy a wave carries corresponds to its amplitude. For a compressional wave, amplitude is related to the density of the particles in the compressions and rarefactions.
11.2 Properties of Sounds Intensity and Loudness strongly vibrating objects makes sound waves with tight, dense compressions. Weak vibrations make sound waves with less dense compressions.
11.2 Properties of Sounds Intensity and Loudness The density of particles in the rarefactions behaves in the opposite way. It is important to remember that matter is not transported during the compression and rarefaction of a compression wave only energy is transported. Matter compresses and expands as the wave of energy passes through the matter.
Properties of Sounds 11.2 Intensity Intensity- amount of energy that flows through a certain area.
11.2 Intensity Properties of Sounds Volume Increases = Intensity Increases Volume decreases = Intensity decreases
11.2 Intensity Properties of Sounds Intensity = how far away sound can be heard. If you and a friend whisper a conversation, the sound waves you create have low intensity and do not travel far.
11.2 Properties of Sounds Intensity Decreases with Distance Intensity influences how far a wave will travel because some of a wave s energy is converted to other forms of energy when it is passed from particle to particle. low intensity = less distance sound travels. High intensity = farther distance sound travels
11.2 Loudness Properties of Sounds Loudness is the human perception of sound intensity. When sound waves of high intensity reach your ear, they cause your eardrum to move back and forth a greater distance than sound waves of low intensity do.
11.2 Loudness Properties of Sounds The bones of the middle ear convert the increased movement of the eardrum into increased movement of the hair cells in the inner ear. As a result, you hear a loud sound
11.2 Properties of Sounds A Scale for Loudness Sound intensity is measured in decibels (db)
11.2 Properties of Sounds A Scale for Loudness
11.2 Pitch Properties of Sounds If you were to sing a scale, your voice would start low and become higher with each note. Pitch- how high or low a sound seems to be. pitch is related to the frequency of the sound waves.
11.2 Properties of Sounds Frequency and Pitch High Pitch = High Frequency Low Pitch = Low frequency
11.2 Properties of Sounds Frequency and Pitch This figure shows different notes and their frequencies. A healthy human ear can hear sound waves with frequencies from about 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz.

11.2 Properties of Sounds Ultrasonic and Infrasonic Waves These waves are produced by sources that vibrate slowly, such as wind, heavy machinery, and earthquakes.
11.2 Properties of Sounds The Doppler Effect Doppler effect- change in pitch or wave frequency due to a moving wave source
11.2 Moving Sound Properties of Sounds As a race car moves, it sends out sound waves in the form of compressions and rarefactions. The race car creates a compression, labeled A. Compression A moves through the air toward the flagger standing at the finish line.
11.2 Moving Sound Properties of Sounds By the time compression B leaves the race car, the car has moved forward. Because the car has moved since the time it created compression A, compressions A and B are closer together than they would be if the car had stayed still.
11.2 Moving Sound Properties of Sounds As a result, the flagger hears a higher pitch.
11.2 Properties of Sounds A Moving Observer The Doppler effect happens any time the source of a sound is changing position compared with the observer. It occurs no matter whether it is the sound source or the observer that is moving. The faster the change in position, the greater the change in frequency and pitch.
11.2 Properties of Sounds Using the Doppler Effect Radar guns use the Doppler effect to measure the speed of cars. Weather radar also uses the Doppler shift to show the movement of winds in storms, such as a tornado.
