Ch. 11.2 Characteristics of Waves

Section 11.2 Objectives Identify the crest, trough, amplitude, and wavelength of a wave. Define the terms frequency and period. Solve problems involving wave speed, frequency, and wavelength. Describe the Doppler effect.

Parts of a Wave Crest - Highest point of a transverse wave Trough – Lowest point of a transverse wave Amplitude – the greatest distance that particles in a medium move from their normal position when a wave passes

Parts of a Wave Wavelength – the distance between any two successive identical parts of a wave.

Wave Properties Period – the time required for one full wavelength to pass a certain point. Frequency – the number of vibrations that occur in a 1s time interval. Formula : Frequency = 1 / period f = 1/ T Where : f is in Hertz (Hz) T is in seconds (s)

Light comes in a wide range of frequencies and wavelengths.

Wave Speed Where : v is speed in m/s f is frequency in Hz λ is wavelength in nm Wave speed is the speed at which a wave passes through a medium. Wave speed equals frequency time wavelength. Formula : Wave speed = frequency x wavelength v = f x λ

Wave Speed The speed of a wave depends on the medium. The speed of sound in air is about 340 m/s. Sound waves travel 3-4 times faster in water and 15-20 times faster in rock or metal. Dolphins use sound waves to communicate with one another. Sound travels 3-4 times faster in water than in air.

Kinetic Theory explains differences in wave speed. The different states of matter are due to different degrees of organization at the particle level. In gases, the molecules are far apart and move around randomly. In liquids, such as water, the molecules are much closer together. (but they are also free to slide past one another). In solids, molecules are not only closer together but also tightly bound to each other.

Light has a finite speed All electromagnetic waves in empty space travel at the same speed, the speed of light, which is 3x108 m/s. Light travels slower when it has to pass through a medium such as air or water.

The Doppler Effect The pitch of a sound, how high or low it is, is determined by the frequency of sound waves. Observer B Observer A When a train is not moving, the sound waves produced by the horn spread out in circles. The frequency of the waves is the same at any location. When a train is moving, the sound waves produced by the horn are closer together in the front and farther apart behind. Observer A hears a higher-pitched sound than Observer B hears.

Section 11.2 Summary The highest points of a transverse wave are called crests; the lowest parts are called the troughs. The amplitude of a transverse wave is half the vertical distance between a crest and a trough. The wavelength is the distance between two successive identical parts of a wave. The period of a wave is the time it takes a wavelength to pass a certain point. The frequency of a wave is the number of vibrations that occur in 1 s. ( 1Hz = 1 vibration/s) The speed of a wave equals the frequency times the wavelength. ( v = f x λ )
