This document discusses waves and energy transfer through waves. It begins by defining mechanical and electromagnetic waves. Mechanical waves require a medium and transfer energy through particle vibration, while electromagnetic waves can transfer energy through empty space. Examples are given of transverse waves, like a slinky spring demonstration, and longitudinal waves, like a push down a line of students. The document then discusses how waves transfer energy through particle vibration and disturbance motion without moving the particles long distances. Examples of energy transfer from seismic, ocean, sound and light waves to objects are provided. Higher amplitude and frequency waves transfer more energy.

Learning Target 1: Waves carry energy and exist in more than
one form. Success Criteria: a) Describe and identify the parts of a wave b) Give examples of and describe the similarities and differences between transverse waves and longitudinal waves c) Describe how energy is transferred within a wave d) Provide examples of energy transfers from a wave to another object or substance e) Classify waves based on whether or not they require a medium to be transmitted Mechanical & Electromagnetic Waves Mechanical vs. Electromagnetic waves
It is important to understand that waves transfer energy.
There are two types of waves: 1. Mechanical waves are waves that travel through matter. The particles of matter vibrate by pushing together and moving apart, or by moving up and down as the waves travel through them to transfer the energy through the medium. They require particles to vibrate. Sound waves cannot be transferred or transmitted through space. Why?
Ex. Sound waves, water waves, seismic waves, waves that travel down a rope. Mechanical vs. Electromagnetic waves
2. Electromagnetic waves involve electric and magnetic fields.
They are waves that can travel through empty space where matter is NOT present. Electromagnetic waves transfer energy through space instead of transferring energy from particle to particle as is done by mechanical waves.
Ex. radio waves, microwaves, infrared rays, visible light,
ultraviolet rays, x-rays, and gamma rays Transverse & Longitudinal Waves Transverse Waves - Spring
Your teacher is going to use a spring to demonstrate
how a transverse wave moves. Please describe and draw what you see. Also, consider the following questions: The energy put into the spring moves in which direction? Does any of the energy travel back? How is the energy transferred down the spring? Describe the motion of the coil with the tape on it as the pulse traveled through it. Transverse Waves Class Demo
The entire class will form a transverse pulse. Stand shoulder
to shoulder in a straight line. Create a stadium wave. When the pulse travels through you, which way did you move?
A wave is a series of pulses occurring at regular time intervals.
Have the person on the right end start a new pulse every three seconds. Describe and draw the motion of this wave.
Complete the rest of the table on transverse waves.
Longitudinal Waves - Spring
Your teacher is now going to use a spring to
demonstrate how a longitudinal wave moves. Please describe and draw what you see. Also, consider the following questions: The energy put into the spring moves in which direction? Does any of the energy travel back? How is the energy transferred down the spring? Describe the motion of the coil with the tape on it as the pulse traveled through it. Longitudinal Waves Class Demo
The entire class will form a longitudinal wave. Line up in a
single file. Place your hands on the shoulders of the person in front of you. The person at the back of the line will send some energy to the person at the front of the line by nudging the person in front of them. When the pulse travels through you, which way do you move? A wave is a series of pulses occurring at regular time intervals. Have the person in the back start a new pulse every two seconds. Describe and draw the motion of this wave. Complete the rest of the table on longitudinal waves. Categorizing Waves

Complete the first two rows of the graphic organizer. You will return later to complete the examples. Energy How is energy transferred within a wave? Energy is transferred when particles vibrate and run into each other. Wavescantransfer energyover distance without moving matter the entire distance. For example, an ocean wave can travel many kilometers without the water itself moving many kilometers. The water moves up and downa motion known as a disturbance. It is the disturbance that travels in a wave,transferring energy. Watch these videos and describe how the energy is passed from one bar to the next https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f66syH8B9D8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pbgnxzmIL5c How do waves transfer energy to other objects? We will take a look at four examples: 1. Seismic waves 2. Ocean Waves 3. Sound waves 4. Light waves This animation quickly shows how particles move in each type of wave: http://www.acs.psu.edu/drussell/Demos/waves/wavemotion.html Energy Transfer in Seismic Waves
A seismic wave shakes the Watch these animations for an
ground. When the ground example shakes, energy is transferred https://www.youtube.com/wat from the ground to buildings ch?v=4nS10xNBfVE and can make the buildings https://www.youtube.com/wat fall down. Seismic waves ch?v=4Xebwzb3dDE can also create tsunamis, cause landslides and damage trees. All of this occurs because of ENERGY TRANSFER. Energy Transfer in Ocean Waves
When the wave crashes on Watch these animations to
the beach it can move observe the motion: objects (sand, rocks, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7 yPTa8qi5X8 driftwood your sand shovel, https://www.classzone.com/books/e etc.). The larger the wave, arth_science/terc/content/visualizati the more energy that is ons/es1604/es1604page01.cfm?chapte r_no=visualization transferred and the more damage that can be done. A very large ocean wave is called a tsunami. Energy Transfer in Sound Waves
Sound waves, like all Watch this video to
waves, are created by further understand: vibrating particles. When https://www.youtube.com/ the vibrating particles watch?v=qgdqp-oPb1Q reach your ears the sound wave energy is transformed into electrical energy and sent to your brain. Energy in Light Waves
Light is tricky, because it does When you go outside and can
not just act like a wave; it feel the sun warming your also acts like a particle. Watch skin, that is an example of energy transfer from a light this video to understand how. energy to heat energy. https://www.youtube.com/watc There are several other h?v=J1yIApZtLos examples as well: Getting sunburned, plantsusing This video gives some basics of sunlight to make food, the the electromagnetic spectrum sun heating the atmosphere tocreate wind, or when https://www.youtube.com/watc sunlight hits a solar panel h?v=m4t7gTmBK3g and is made into electricity. How does a change in energy change a wave? Amplitude: Which wave has more energy? Frequency: Which wave has more energy? Summary Questions
