Waves (Def.) – a disturbance that carries energy but not matter from one place to another

Medium – Substance or region through which a wave is transmitted.

Speed of Waves – Depends on the properties of the medium.

Transverse Waves› Energy travels

perpendicular (at a right angle) to the direction of motion

› Carries energy from one point to another

› Has wavelength, crest, trough, and amplitude

› Example: light waves

Longitudinal (Compression) Waves› Energy travels parallel

to (in the same direction as) the direction of motion

› Carries energy from one point to another

› Has wavelength and regions of compression and rarefaction

› Example: sound waves

Compression

Page 6: © 2000 Microsoft Clip Gallery.  Waves (Def.) – a disturbance that carries energy but not matter from one place to another  Medium – Substance or region.

Transverse Waves› Distance from one crest to the next crest on a wave› Can also be measured from one trough to the next

trough

Longitudinal (Compression) Waves› Distance between maximum compressions

Waves that occur when the medium is fixed at both ends

Occurs as both transverse or compression waves

Bouncing back of light waves›Regular—mirrors smooth

surfaces scatter light very little. Images are clear & exact.›Diffuse reflection – reflected light

is scattered due to an irregular surface.

Refraction – Bending of light due to a change in speed. › Index of Refraction – Amount by which a material

refracts light.› Prisms – Glass that bends light. Different frequencies

are bent different amounts & light is broken out into different colors.
