Waves
- MECHANICAL WAVES - require a medium to travel through
and is made when a source of energy causes a vibration.
Annotations:
- Must travel through a *medium* and can not travel in space. Medium: The matter (solid, liquid, & gas) a wave travels through.
- Transverse Waves -
wave that causes the
medium to vibrate at
right angles to the
direction of the wave.
Annotations:
- Wave Travels: down to up ↑ Energy Travels: left to right →
- Surface Waves -
wave that travels
along a surface
separating two media.
Annotations:
- Wave Travels: circular motion (both → and ↑) Energy Travels: left to right →
- Longitude Waves -
wave in which
vibration of medium
is parallel to the
direction wave
travels.
Annotations:
- Wave Travels: left to right → Energy Travels: left to right →
- ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVES - come
from the sun and require no medium.
Annotations:
- These waves don't necessarily have to go through matter; this means they can travel through space.
- Radio Waves
Annotations:
- - The LONGEST wave length - The LEAST energy and frequency - The SAFEST type of wave
- Microwaves
- Infrared Waves
- Visible Light Waves
- Red, Orange, Yellow, Green,
Blue, Indigo, Violet
Annotations:
- ROY G BIV
- Red, Orange, Yellow, Green,
Blue, Indigo, Violet
- X-Rays
- Gamma Rays
Annotations:
- - The SHORTEST wave - The MOST energy - The MOST DANGEROUS type of wave
