I. OBJECTIVES
At the end of the lesson, the leaners should be able to:
a. define waves;
b. differentiate mechanical waves and electromagnetic waves; and
c. observe and draw the transverse waves and longitudinal waves.
II. SUBJECT MATTER
A. Topic
Types of Waves

B. Materials  Multi-Media Presentation

C. References CO_Q3_Science 7_Module 3

D. Science Observing, Communicating, Analyzing and Reporting conclusions.

Process

E. Science A wave is a disturbance in a medium that carries energy without a net movement of
Concept particles. Mechanical waves require a medium to propagate. A medium may vary from
a solid, a liquid, or a gas. Electromagnetic waves, on the other hand, do not require a
medium for them to move.
F. Values Diligence and Honesty
Integration

III. PROCEDURES
A. Preliminary
Activities
1. Prayer
2. Checking of Attendance
3. Recall
The teacher will ask the learners the following questions:
a. What is motion graph?
b. What is a diagram?
c. What is slope?
B. Motivation Arrange Me
The teacher will divide the class into three groups. The material manager of every
group will pick an envelope with a set of jumbled letters inside. The learners will guess
the jumbled words by referring to these pictures:
 Words inside the envelope to arrange:
OCEAN WAVES
SOUND WAVES
EARTHQUAKE WAVES

C. The teacher will tell the learners that the pictures and words are related to their
Presentation new topic. The teacher will ask the following questions:
of the Lesson a. What is your observation from the activity we conducted earlier?
b. What do these pictures have in common?
D. Discussion Waves can be typified according to the direction of motion of the vibrating particles
Proper with respect to the direction in which the waves travel. The types of waves according to
the direction of motion of the vibrating particles with respect to the direction in which
the waves travel are transverse, longitudinal and surface waves.

Types of waves

1. Transverse waves vibrate perpendicularly to the direction in which the waves travel.
This wave exhibits up and down motion.

2. Longitudinal waves vibrate parallel or back and forth to the direction in which the
waves travel.

3. Surface waves are combination of transverse and longitudinal waves. These move
in a circular pattern as the waves pass by.

The types of waves according to propagation

1. Mechanical waves propagate only through solid, liquid and gas medium. Mechanical
waves may be transverse, longitudinal or surface. Some physical medium is being
disturbed for the wave to propagate. A wave travelling on a string would not exist
without the string. With mechanical waves, what we interpret as a wave corresponds to
the propagation of a disturbance through a medium.

2. Electromagnetic waves do not need medium to propagate. Radio waves, ultraviolet,

microwaves, x-rays, infrared, and gamma rays are examples of electromagnetic waves.
The sun is an important source of electromagnetic radiation for the earth. Energy from
the sun is important to sustain the life of the earth. Another example of the
electromagnetic waves from the sun are ultraviolet (UV) waves, which is the main cause
of sunburn. Sunscreen lotions are transparent to visible light but absorb most of UV
light. The higher a sunscreen’s solar protection factor (SPF), the greater the percentage
of UV light absorbed.

The Anatomy and Nature of Transverse Waves

 The nature of transverse waves can be described through its terms, quantities and
anatomy. The crest and trough refer to the highest point and lowest point of a wave
pattern, respectively. The amplitude of a wave is the maximum displacement of a
particle of the medium on either side of its normal position when the wave passes. The
frequency (measured in Hertz) of periodic waves is the number of waves that pass a
particular point for every unit of time such as one second while the
wavelength(measured in meters) is the distance between adjacent crests or troughs.
The period is the time (measured in seconds) required for one complete wave to pass a
particular point. The speed of the wave refers to the distance the wave travels per unit
time. It is related to the frequency of the wave and wavelength through the following
equation: wave speed= frequency x wavelength.

The Anatomy and Nature of Longitudinal Waves

/RQJLWXGLQDO: DYH6RXUFH/HVVLJ/ ZZZFUHDWLYHFRP P RQVFRP

A longitudinal wave is a wave in which the particles of the medium are displaced in
a direction parallel to the direction of energy transport. A longitudinal wave can be
created in a slinky if the slinky is stretched out horizontally and the end coil is vibrated
back-and-forth in a horizontal direction. Longitudinal waves show areas of compression
and rarefaction. Compressions are regions of high pressure due to particles being close
together (points A, C, E). Rarefactions are regions of low pressure due to particles being
spread further apart (points B, D, F). The crest is the top of the wave. The trough is at
the bottom of the wave. The wavelength is the length of the wave from compression to
compression. The amplitude of a wave is the highest amount of vibration that the
medium gives from the rest position.
E. Fixing Skills Activity 1: Complete Me!
 The class will be divided into 2 groups.
 Each group should have a leader, material manager, scribe, reporter, and
members.
 The learners will complete the missing words that are provided inside the box.
 The learners will use a concept map to classify and group the types of waves.

Activity 2: The art of waves

 Each group will draw and label the anatomy and nature of transverse waves
and longitudinal waves.
 The reporter of each group will present their answers.

F. The teacher will ask the learners the following questions:

1. What are waves?
Generalization 2. What are the 3 types of waves?
3. What are the differences between mechanical waves and electromagnetic
waves?
