Heavenly Father, we pray for guidance in the matters at

hand and give us the desire to find ways to excel in our

work with spirit of joy and enthusiasm. We ask this in the
name of the lord Jesus Christ. Amen

A distance-time graph tells us how far an object has
moved with time.
• The steeper the graph, the FASTER the motion.

• A horizontal line means the object is not changing its

position - it is not MOVING. it is at rest.

• A downward sloping line means the object is

RETURNING to the start.

A speed - time graph shows us how the speed
of a moving object changes with time.

• The steeper the graph, the greater the

acceleration.

• A horizontal line means the object is moving

at a CONSTANT speed.

• A downward sloping line means the object is

SLOWING down.
INFER THAT WAVES CARRY
ENERGY
Why does the
ocean have
waves?
ENERGY
THE ABILITY TO DO WORK
IT CAN BE TRANSFERRED
BETWEEN OBJECTS
Carriers of energy; a disturbance
that propagates through a medium.
Disturbance-The act of moving to a given
direction and then returning it to its
equilibrium position.
MEDIUM
a substance or material that carries the wave
• Mechanical Waves – need matter
(medium) to transfer energy
 A medium is a
substance/material that can
carry a wave.
Ex. Air; water; particles;
strings; solids; liquids; gases
 Sound waves
Water waves
Stadium wave
Jump rope wave
Some examples of Mechanical Waves
 • Electromagnetic Waves – DO NOT NEED
matter (medium) to transfer energy

Transverse waves without a medium!

Transverse Waves
Energy causes the matter in the medium to move up and down or
back and forth at right angles to the direction the wave travels.

Examples: waves in water

TRANSVERSE WAVES
 TRANSVERSE WAVES
 Is a wave in which particles of the
medium move in a direction
perpendicular to the direction which
the wave moves.
Compressional Wave (longitudinal)
A mechanical wave in which matter in the
medium moves forward and backward along the
same direction that the wave travels.
 Ex. Sound waves
A slinky is a good illustration
of how a compressional
wave moves
LONGITUDINAL WAVES
Parts of a Compressional Wave (Longitudinal)
Is a wave in which particles of
the medium move in a direction
parallel to the direction which
the wave moves.
SURFACE WAVES
SURFACE WAVES
Is a wave in which particles of the
medium undergo a circular motion.
Identify the parts of the wave
WAVE LENGHT
The length of one complete wave cycle.
Can be measured as the distance from crest to crest or from trough to
trough.

AMPLITUDE
refers to the maximum amount of displacement of a particle on the
medium from its rest position.
distance from rest to crest; rest to trough
CREST
is the point on the medium that exhibits the maximum
amount of positive or upward displacement from the rest
position
TROUGH
is the point on the medium that exhibits the maximum
amount of negative or downward displacement from the
rest position.
COMPRESSION
a point on a medium through which a longitudinal wave is traveling that
has the maximum density.
RAREFACTION
a point on a medium through which a longitudinal wave is traveling that
has the minimum density.

AIR OR ANOTHER MEDIUM AND CAN BE
HEARD WHEN THEY REACH A PERSON’S
OR ANIMAL’S EAR
ANY OBJECT THAT VIBRATES PRODUCES
SOUND!
THE SOUNDS TRAVEL THE FASTEST IN SOLID
BECAUSE THE PARTICLES ARE CLOSE TOGETHER
