 Learning Outcomes

• Define what a wave is.

• Differentiate transverse from longitudinal waves.
• Cite examples for each wave type.
 Procedure
Group 1 Group 2
A. What are transverse waves? B. What are longitudinal waves?

1. Straighten the rope and place it above
a long table.
2.Hold one end of the rope and vibrate
it up and down. You would be able to
observe a pulse.
3.Observe the waves along the coil
spring
1.Connect one end of a long table to a
wall. Place coil spring on top of table.
Attach one end of the coil spring to the
wall while you hold the other end. Do
not lift the coil spring.
2.Ask a friend to vibrate the end of the
coil spring by doing a back-and-forth
motion parallel to the length of the
spring.
3.Observe the waves along the coil
spring
Exploring Wave Properties
 Scientific Terms

Vibration Wave Medium

a repeated motion or a traveling disturbance

produced by a back- and-
that carries energy from
forth or up-and- down a substance or material
one place to another with
movement of an object. that carries the wave
or without medium.
source of all waves.
Earthquakes are waves we can feel!

Some of these waves cause the ground to shake up and

down (S-waves) or side to side (P-waves).

In this lesson, we will learn more about waves and their

types.
What Is a Wave?

A small drop of water on a calm

water surface can create ripples.

• It is a disturbance in a medium that

carries energy without a movement or
transferring matter.
 Parts of a Wave
Crest

Wavelength

Amplitude

Normal Line (Equilibrium)

Trough
 Amplitude
The height or size of a wave

Wavelength
The distance from one wave
to another
 Parts of a Wave
Crest- the highest part of the wave.

Trough- the lowest part of the wave

Amplitude- the maximum distance from the horizontal

line in the middle of the wave up to crest or down to
trough.
 Parts of a Wave
Wavelength- the distance between two consecutive
wave crests or between two consecutive wave troughs.

Normal line (Equilibrium)- the horizontal line in the

middle of the wave.
Kinds of Waves

Mechanical Waves- require a medium such as solid,

liquid, and gas to propagate.

Electromagnetic Waves- do not require matter to

propagate and can therefore travel in vacuum.

vacuum

travel fastest in matter that is closely packed like solid and slowest in matter
that is loosely packed like gas.
