1 Warm Up 6 W A R M U P 6

2 D. Wave velocity, or v, describes how fast the wave moves forward. v = f x λ Velocity = frequency x wavelength

3 Example: A water ripple is being sent across a pool of water by a boat that is rocking at a rate of 1.5 hertz. The ripples are measured to be 2 meters apart. How fast are they moving? v = f x λ v = 1.5Hz x 2m v = 3 m/s

4 E. Amplitude—a measure of the energy in a wave The more energy a wave carries, the bigger its amplitude Which transverse wave has more energy? The bottom wave because it has the biggest amplitude.

5 III. The Behavior of Waves What do you do when a wave misbehaves????

6 Reflection Reflection happens when a wave strikes and bounces off an object All types of waves can be reflected.

7 Normal Angle of incidence Angle of reflection The angle of incidence of a wave is always equal to the angle of reflection.

8 a. Normal - an imaginary line perpendicular to a reflective surface b. Angle of incidence - the angle formed between the wave and the normal c. Angle of reflection - the angle formed between the reflected wave and the normal

9 Refraction—the bending of a wave caused by a change in its speed as it moves from one medium to another Slower Faster

10 Diffraction 1.Diffraction occurs when an object causes a wave to bend 2.Large objects cause more bending 3.Small objects cause less bending

11 Diffraction

12 Interference A.Occurs when 2 waves interact Constructive interference—waves add together Destructive interference—waves subtract from each other

13 Interference

14 E. Resonance - the ability of an object to vibrate by absorbing energy at its natural frequency

15 Exit Ticket 4 If a dog whistle has a frequency of 3.0 x 10 4 Hz, what is the wavelength of the sound if the speed of sound is 330 m/s?
