3. Where we’ve been We have explored different types of energy transfer.
Discuss with your partner the different types of energy transfer we have studied during the school year.

4. Energy Transfer Conservation of momentum Mechanical energy transfer
Thermal energy transfer
Electrical potential energy transfer

5. Where we are going
Investigate the energy transferred by mechanical waves.

6. Electromagnetic (EM) Waves
Unit Overview
Waves
Mechanical Waves
Electromagnetic (EM) Waves
Transverse
Longitudinal
Light wave
Ocean wave
Sound wave

7. Tsunami As you watch the video think about the following:
What causes the Tsunami?
What role does energy play if any?
What relevance does the velocity of the wave have on the destruction?
What happens to the water after the Tsunami strikes?
Tsunami Video

8. Let’s break it down

9. Generic reason: a pulse (single disturbance)

10. Large magnitude (speed) and direction results in a large force (F = ma) and a transfer from PE to KE.

11. Mechanical waves transport energy through a medium.
The wave is the energy and the water is the medium through
Which it is transported.

12. EQ: What causes wave motion?
Read through your CNs
Highlight, underline, or circle the words associated with how a wave is created and what a wave is.
Highlight, underline, or circle the words that describe the purpose of a medium and how it functions.

13. EQ: What causes wave motion?
Answer your EQ in the summary section (should not be more than three sentences)

14. EQ: What are the characteristics of the different types of waves that occur in nature?
Read through your CNs
Highlight or underline the words that are similar between a electromagnetic and mechanical wave.
Circle the words/concepts that make electromagnetic and mechanical waves different from one another.

15. Types of Waves There are two types of waves
Type of wave is dependent on whether it requires a medium.
Mechanical waves require a medium
Electromagnetic waves do not require a medium.

16. Electromagnetic (EM) Waves
Unit Overview
Does not require
a medium; can
travel in a vacuum
Waves

17. EQ: What are the characteristics of the different types of waves that occur in nature?
Answer your EQ in the summary section (should not be more than three sentences)

18. Periodic Motion

19. Periodic Motion
Pendulum Animation

20. How do particles move in a mechanical wave?
As you watch the animations, pick a particle and follow it as it moves in the simulation.
Particle simulation; longitudinal and transverse waves

21. EQ: What are the characteristics of mechanical waves?
Read through your CNs
Underline the words/phrases that explain how particles move.
Highlight or Circle the following words; transverse, longitudinal, medium, perpendicular, parallel, crest, trough, compression, rarefaction, amplitude.

24. Common Language The properties of waveforms are Wavelength Amplitude
Frequency
Period
Velocity

25. What is wave length?

26. What is amplitude?

27. What is the frequency of the wave?

28. What is the period of the wave?

29. EQ: What do the properties of waveforms allow you to do?
Answer your EQ in the summary section (should not be more than three sentences)

30. EQ: What do the properties of waveforms allow you to do?

31. One pager
Put your name (small left had corner) on the blank sheet of paper.
Create a one page summary to use on a open note quiz.
When you are finished, come see me and I will give you a piece of tape to hang your one pager up.
After you hang your paper up wait for further instructions.

32. Cool Down
What role does a medium play in energy transformation of a mechanical and electromagnetic wave?
