 OBJECTIVES
• Differentiate between transverse and longitudinal waves; and
mechanical from electromagnetic wave.
• Appreciate the waves as carries of energy in various natural
phenomena and technological applications.
• Calculate the speed of a wave using the formula; wave speed
(v)= frequency (f) x (λ )wavelength, and apply this
understanding to solve real - world problems involving wave
motions.
What is a Wave?

Waves radiate from a

disturbance. They can travel
through solid, liquid, and gas,
and some waves can even
travel through empty space or
vacuum.
 Sound and Light
Sounds moves through solid, liquid, and gas. It vibrates the
eardrum so we could hear it.

Light can also pass through a liquid, gas and a transport solid,
but it can also travel in a vacuum or an empty space. The light
coming from the sun propagates and travels in a near vacuum
until it reaches Earth.
TYPES OF WAVES:
Transverse Wave And Longitudinal Wave
Transverse Wave
Transverse wave is a wave in which the oscillation is
perpendicular to the direction the wave travels. You
can see the transverse waves on the surface of the
water wave, as they make the surface move up and
down.
Longitudinal Wave
Longitudinal wave on the other hand, is a wave
in which the oscillations is long the direction the
wave travel. This results in a vibration that
moves parallel to the directions.

 PROPERTIES OF WAVES

CREST TROUGH
The lowest
Is the highest point
point of wave.
of wave.
AMPLITUDE
Is the height of the wave, which is measured
from the midpoint or equilibrium position to
either the crest or the trough of a wave. The
symbol for amplitude is A.
WAVELENGTH
Is the distance between the succeeding identical
parts of the wave- either from one crest to the
next crest or from one trough to the next
trough .The symbol for wavelength is LAMBDA
(λ).
FREQUENCY
shows how frequent a vibration takes place. The
greater frequency of a wave, the higher energy is
carried or transferred by it. The given symbol for
frequency is (f), and its unit of measurement is per
second (s−1) or hertz (Hz)
PERIOD
is the time it takes to complete one vibrational
cycle or one complete wave. It’s unit of
measurement is second (s), and it is inversely
proportional to the wave frequency.
Wave Speed
is the speed of the wave as it travels. It can be
determined by using the wave frequency and the
wavelength.
MECHANICAL WAVE
needs a medium or matter travel through.
These waves can travel when molecules in
the medium bump into one another,
resulting in the transfer of energy.
ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVE
don’t require a medium or matter to propagate.
They can travel even in an empty space or a
vacuum. The light coming from the sun can travel
in outer space and reach of Earth without a
medium.
