    The document describes different types of waves and energy. It distinguishes between transverse waves, where particles move perpendicular to the direction of travel, such as light waves, and longitudinal waves, where particles move parallel to the direction of travel, such as sound waves. The document also explains that eyes use light energy and ears use sound energy to help us understand the world, and that energy is often transferred by waves, such as ripples from a stone thrown in a pond.

    Lesson Objectives

    1. Describe energy and its various types


    2.
    3. Distinguish between transverse and longitudinal
    waves
    4.
    Light

    • Our eyes and ears help us to make sense of the world around us.
    • Eyes use light energy.
    • Ears use sound energy
    WAVES

    Energy is often moved from one place to another by waves. When


    we throw a stone into a pond (or when a drop of water falls on the
    surface of water) - waves spread out from the splash and soon the
    water at the edge of the pond moves as it gets some of the energy
    of the splash.
    TYPES of WAVES

    Transverse and Longitudinal waves


    TYPES OF WAVES
    • Transverse and Longitudinal waves
    TYPES OF
    WAVES
    • TRANSVERSE waves : The particles move
    up and down (perpendicular) to the
    direction in which the wave travels. E.g.
    light waves.
    •
    • LONGITUDINAL waves: The particles
    move back and forth (parallel) along the
    direction in which the wave travels. E.g.
    sound waves.
    •
    Transverse Longitudinal

    eg Light eg Sound
    • Both involve vibrations
    • Both transport energy
    • Neither transport matter
