1 What’s the deal with WAVE classification? Mr. Blizzard, 8 th Grade Science Tanglewood Middle School

2 How are WAVES classified?

3 What’s the deal with WAVE classification? Waves can be classified by WHAT they move through or by HOW energy moves through them. red words= vocabulary, blue words= connect words

4 Classification of WAVES by WHAT they move through

5 What’s the deal with WAVE classification? There are two classifications for waves based on what they move through: Mechanical WavesMechanical Waves Electromagnetic WavesElectromagnetic Waves red words= vocabulary, blue words= connect words

6 What are mechanical WAVES?

7 What’s the deal with WAVE classification? Mechanical waves are waves that can ONLY move through a medium (through matter). red words= vocabulary, blue words= connect words

8 What’s the deal with WAVE classification? Mechanical waves require the particles of the medium to vibrate in order for energy to be transferred. red words= vocabulary, blue words= connect words

9 What are examples mechanical WAVES?

10 What’s the deal with WAVE classification? water waveswater waves earthquake/seismic wavesearthquake/seismic waves sound wavessound waves waves that travel down a rope or springwaves that travel down a rope or spring All of these examples CANNOT move through empty space.

11 What is EMPTY SPACE?

12 What’s the deal with WAVE classification? Empty space is space in which NO MATTER is present. Another name for this is a vacuum. red words= vocabulary, blue words= connect words

13 What are electromagnetic WAVES?

14 What’s the deal with WAVE classification? Electromagnetic waves are waves that can travel through matter or empty space where matter is not present. red words= vocabulary, blue words= connect words

15 What are examples of electromagnetic WAVES?

16 What’s the deal with WAVE classification? radio wavesradio waves microwavesmicrowaves infrared wavesinfrared waves visible lightvisible light ultraviolet raysultraviolet rays X-raysX-rays

17 Classification of WAVES by HOW energy moves through them

18 What’s the deal with WAVE classification? There are two classifications for waves based on how energy moves through them: Compressional/Longitudinal WavesCompressional/Longitudinal Waves Transverse WavesTransverse Waves red words= vocabulary, blue words= connect words

19 What are compressional/ longitudinal WAVES?

20 What’s the deal with WAVE classification? Mechanical waves in which the particles of matter in the medium vibrate by pushing together and moving apart parallel to the direction in which the wave travels are called compressional/longitudinal waves. red words= vocabulary, blue words= connect words

21 http://www.lcse.umn.edu/specs/labs/glossary_items/rarefaction_spring.html

22 What’s the deal with WAVE classification? The place on the wave that is pushed together is called the compression and the place that is moving apart is the rarefaction. red words= vocabulary, blue words= connect words

23 What are examples of compressional/ longitudinal waves?

24 What’s the deal with WAVE classification? sound wavessound waves some waves in a springsome waves in a spring some seismic waves (earthquake waves- primary waves, to be exact)some seismic waves (earthquake waves- primary waves, to be exact)

25 What are transverse WAVES?

26 What’s the deal with WAVE classification? Mechanical waves in which the particles of matter in the medium vibrate by moving back and forth and perpendicular (at right angles) to the direction the wave travels are called transverse waves. red words= vocabulary, blue words= connect words

27 science.hq.nasa.gov/kids/imagers/ems/waves3.html

28 What’s the deal with WAVE classification? The highest point of a transverse wave is the crest and the lowest point is called a trough. red words= vocabulary, blue words= connect words

29 What are examples of transverse waves?

30 What’s the deal with WAVE classification? strings on a musical instrumentstrings on a musical instrument waves on a ropewaves on a rope some waves in a springsome waves in a spring some seismic waves (earthquake waves- secondary waves, to be exact)some seismic waves (earthquake waves- secondary waves, to be exact)

31 What’s the deal with WAVE classification? Electromagnetic waves are transverse waves that can travel without a medium through empty space. red words= vocabulary, blue words= connect words
