TAKE NOTES!
Wave
• A wave is any disturbance that transmits
energy through matter or space.
TAKE NOTES!
Medium
• All mechanical waves require a medium through which to
travel.
• The medium is the material through which mechanical
waves travel.
• This type of wave transfers energy by the vibration of particles
in a medium. One particle vibrates and then passes its energy
to a particle next to it. So on and so forth.
• energy is transported throughout the medium, without the
transport of any matter.
WAVE PROPERTIES
TAKE NOTES!
CREST
WAVELENGTH
AMPLITUDE
REST
POSITION
TROUGH
FREQUENCY
CREST – highest point of a wave
TROUGH – lowest point of a wave
WAVELENGTH – distance from peak to peak
AMPLITUDE – the distance a wave rises/falls from its rest position
FREQUENCY – the number of waves passing a given point
HERTZ - how many waves goes by per second
Frequency and Wavelength
Longer wavelengths
result in smaller
frequencies.
Larger frequencies
result in shorter
wavelengths.
As the frequency of a wave increases,
its wavelength decreases.
TAKE NOTES!
Frequency and wavelength are related!
Types of Mechanical Waves
Water Waves
Sound Waves
Seismic Waves
TAKE NOTES!
SOUND
• Sound is a mechanical wave that travels through air at about 340 m/s
or 1100 ft. per second.
• Loud sound waves are greater amplitudes than soft sound waves.
• Loud sounds carry more energy than soft sounds.
• Sound travels faster in a solid than a liquid, and faster in a liquid
than a gas.
• In a sound wave, either the wavelength or frequency determines the
pitch.
• Pitch is the high or low of a sound.
• Sound level (loudness) is measured in units called decibels.
• Vocal cords produce sound by vibration.
• As the frequency of a sound wave increases, its wavelength decreases.
Then there are light waves that require
no medium at all.
They are called electromagnetic waves
TAKE NOTES!
•
Light is a electromagnetic wave that travels through air at about
300,000 km/s.
• Bright lights have greater amplitudes (more energy) than the waves
that make up dim light.
• Because frequency and wavelength are related, either the
wavelength or frequency of a light wave determines the color of
the light. Blue light has a larger frequency and shorter wavelength
than red light. Red light has a shorter frequency and a longer
wavelength.
• Light travels through faster in gases than in solids or liquids.
Example: speed of light is one and a half times faster in air than it is in
glass.
Review
• Waves are the way energy is transferred.
• Waves that travel through a medium are
called mechanical waves and can be water
waves, sound waves, or earthquakes
(seismic waves)
• Waves that do not travel through a medium
are called electromagnetic waves, such as
light, radio waves, and X-rays.

energy.

KEY TERMS
•
An energy transformation occurs when
energy changes from one form to
another.
•
Energy transformations occur in energy
production (as in conversions of energy
for use in everyday life).
•
Potential Energy is the energy that is
stored because of an object’s position.
•
The energy of an object due to its
motion is called Kinetic Energy.
Forms of
TAKE NOTES!
Energy is the ability to
cause change
What is Energy?
• An exertion of force
• The ability to do work
• Potential(stored) and Kinetic(motion) a
separate division of each type of energy
TAKE NOTES!
POTENTIAL ENERGY
Energy an object
has because of its
position
TAKE NOTES!
KINETIC ENERGY
• Energy of motion. Only a
moving object has kinetic
energy
• Amount of energy
depends on speed and
mass
EXAMPLE 1
POSITION 1
Potential Energy
The boulder at the
top of the hill has
potential energy
and no kinetic
energy.
POSITION 2
Kinetic Energy
Potential Energy
As the boulder rolls
down the hill, the
potential energy
transforms into kinetic
energy and kinetic
energy becomes
greater until
POSITION 3
The boulder is in a
resting position with
low potential energy
and no kinetic
energy.
TAKE NOTES!
The amount of kinetic energy also depends on
the mass and the speed of an object.
Kinetic energy increases as speed increases.
The faster an object moves, the more kinetic
energy it has.
EXAMPLE 3:
The faster a bowling ball
moves, the harder it will
strike the pins, the more
pins it can knock down.
As the ball leaves the ground, it is moving the fastest and
has the maximum kinetic energy. As the ball moves upward,
it slows down as it’s kinetic energy is transformed into
potential energy. As the ball moves downward, it speeds up
as its potential energy is transformed into kinetic energy.

EXAMPLE 4
Explain how energy is
transformed as the ball rises
and falls.

Energy vs. Matter
everything on Earth is either energy or matter
• Energy has no mass or
weight
• Energy does not take up
space
• Energy is NOT
matter
• Matter has mass
and weight
• Matter takes up
space
• Matter is NOT
energy
CONSERVATION of ENERGY – energy can not be
created or destroyed

formed, energy is released)
Each of these items contains
chemical energy.

Examples of Energy Transformations
Your body converts chemical
energy in food into energy ….
it needs to move,think,grow and heat the body.
Examples of Energy Transformations
An electric current that flows in a wire
carries electrical energy that can be used in
many ways.

and cooks food.
A light bulb converts
electrical energy into light
