 LET’S TALK ABOUT
“WAVE”
What is wave?
-a disturbance or variation that transfers energy progressively from
point to point in a medium and that may take the form of an elastic
deformation or of a variation of pressure, electric or magnetic
intensity, electric potential, or temperature.
THE ANATOMY WAVES
• CREST
- the highest point on a wave.
• TROUGH
- the lowestpoint on a wave.
• NODE
- midway point between crest and trough.
• WAVELENGTH
- distance between crests (A in meters)
• AMPLITUDE
- heights of the waves (A) - (MIDDLE to crest) shows how
much energy a wave carries.
Longitudinal Waves in Medicine and Industry
• Sound Waves in Medicine
- a sound wave is an example of longitudinal wave. Sound
waves not only transmit sound but are also used by those
working in medicine and industry.
- sound waves are also used in research and industry.
EXAMPLES OF SOUND WAVES
1. Sonar
- is very effective at following the motion of underground
objects and reading the composition of underwater currents.
Transverse Waves in Medicine
Doctors and medical researchers use transverse waves and
their properties in many different ways. In this section, you will
look at a few of the uses of different types of transverse waves
in medicine. Remember that all of the waves on the
electromagnetic spectrum are transverse waves and these
waves have multiple uses in medicine. You will look at
electromagnetic spectrum waves in particular.
Transverse Waves in Industry

- Waves and wave properties are used in many different

ways. They are used by doctors and medical researchers,
and in many areas of industry.
Remember that all of the waves on the electromagnetic spectrum
are transverse waves, and these waves have multiple uses in
medicine and also in research and industry. For example, many of
the advanced imaging technologies that are used in medicine are
also used in scientific research and industry. A factory may use X-
rays to test for stress fractures in welding joints on an assembly
line, or a scientist may use MRI imaging to analyze new
treatments for muscles and joints. The precise imaging is based on very
high frequency waves that make a very clear image of small objects.

There are times, however, where such precision is not necessary, like
looking at storms crossing the country or trying to find oil deposits under
the Earth's crust. For applications like these, scientists will often use
radar. A radio emitter sends out low frequency radio waves and
microwaves, and a detector picks up the reflections. The strength and
frequency of the reflected waves can tell a meteorologist where a storm
is, how fast it is moving, and even whether it is rain or snow that is
falling.
