Okay,
let's do a paro paro WAVE!!! Did you enjoy it? BET YOU DID
Oh By the way, did you still remember our Q3 weekly lesson? Correct! That’s wave
A WAVE IS A TRAVELLING DISTURBANCE THAT CARRIES ENERGY FROM ONE PLACE TO ANOTHER WITH
OR WITHOUT A MEDIUM.
WAVES ARE FORMED BY THE VIBRATION OF THE OBJECT OR SUBSTANCE THAT CARRIES WAVES. The
source of waves is always a vibration.
WAVES can be categorized into two, according to the presence of a medium. These are the Mechanical
waves and the electromagnetic waves.
When a wave requires a medium (such as solid, liquid, or gas) to propagate it is called a mechanical
wave.
Examples of mechanical waves include SOUNDWAVES, WATER WAVES, and waves formed from a rope.
On the other hand, when a wave does not require a medium, it is called an electromagnetic wave.
Some examples of EM are radio waves, visible light, microwaves, and x-rays. These EMs are arranged
according to their frequencies and wavelength in an electromagnetic spectrum.
WAVES can be also classified according to the direction of motion of the vibrating particles concerning
the direction in which the waves travel. These are transverse waves, longitudinal waves, and surface
waves.
A transverse wave is a wave in which particles of the medium move in a direction perpendicular to the
direction where the wave moves. A transverse wave moves vertically up and down.
A LONGITUDINAL WAVE is a wave in which particles of the medium move in a direction parallel to the
direction where the wave moves. A longitudinal wave moves from left to right.
Surface waves are a combination of both transverse and longitudinal. A surface wave is a wave in which
particles of the medium undergo a circular motion.
Now, let us identify the parts of the wave. The equilibrium position is the undisturbed position of the
wave.
The highest point of a wave is known as the CREST And lowest point of a wave is the TROUGH.
The maximum distance from the equilibrium position to a crest or from the equilibrium position to a
trough is called the amplitude.
The WAVELENGTH is the distance between two successive identical parts of a wave. Wavelength is
denoted by the symbol lambda and measured in meters.
FREQUENCY is the number of waves passing through a given point in one second. It is measured in units
called hertz.
The PERIOD is the time taken to generate one complete wave. It is also the time taken for the crest or
any given point on the wave to move a distance of one wavelength. Its unit is second.
WAVE SPEED is how far away moves in a given amount of time. Wave speed is equal to the frequency
multiplied by the wavelength.
Where:
F= Frequency
λ = Wavelength
