11 WHAT IS A WAVE? A wave is a disturbance that moves through a medium or space.

12 WHAT IS A WAVE? A wave may also be called a pulse, vibration, and/or displacement.

13 WAVE PULSE A wave pulse is a single disturbance going through a medium.

14 WAVE MEDIUM A wave medium is a substance which carries the wave from one location to another location.

15 WAVE MEDIUM Not all waves require a medium through which to travel.

16 WAVE MEDIUM What is the medium for this wave?

17 WAVE MEDIUM What is the medium for this wave?

18 TYPES OF WAVES There are 3 general types of waves: * Transverse Waves * Longitudinal or Compressional Waves * Standing Waves

19 TRANSVERSE WAVES In a transverse wave the medium moves at right angles (perpendicular) to the direction the wave travels.

20 TRANSVERSE WAVES

21 Examples of Transverse Waves: light and water waves

22 TRANSVERSE WAVES Parts of a Transverse Wave crest1 wavelength trough amplitude baseline, equilibrium position, or rest position

23 LONGITUDINAL WAVES Longitudinal waves cause matter to vibrate in the same direction (parallel) as the wave travels.

24 LONGITUDINAL WAVES

25 Examples of Longitudinal Waves: sound and traffic

26 LONGITUDINAL WAVES Longitudinal waves can also be called compressional waves.

27 LONGITUDINAL WAVES Parts of a Longitudinal Wave

28 STANDING WAVES Standing waves are generated when a series of wave pulses are sent through a medium and then reflected back upon themselves.

29 STANDING WAVES Parts of a Standing Wave node antinode

30 STANDING WAVES Parts of a Standing Wave The nodes are places of no movement. The antinodes are places of maximum displacement from the baseline.
