    This science class lesson introduces students to different types of waves. It defines a wave as a disturbance that transfers energy through a medium. There are two main types of waves: transverse waves, which vibrate perpendicular to the direction of travel, and longitudinal waves, which vibrate parallel to the direction of travel. The lesson explains the key parts of waves including amplitude, wavelength, frequency, and period. It also distinguishes between mechanical waves, which need a medium to propagate, and electromagnetic waves, which do not. Examples of different waves are provided.

    WELCOME TO SCIENCE

    CLASS!
    At the end of the lesson, the students should be able to:

    A. identify waves as either transverse or longitudinal and


    mechanical or electromagnetic;
    B. label parts of transverse and longitudinal waves; and
    C. appreciate the importance of waves.
    What is a wave?

    - A wave is a disturbance propagated through a medium in


    which energy is transferred.
    Types of waves

    1. Transverse wave vibrate perpendicularly to the direction


    in which the waves travel. This waves exhibits up and down
    motion.
    2. Longitudinal waves vibrate parallel or back and forth to
    the direction in which the waves travel.
    3. Surface wave are combination of transverse and
    longitudinal waves. These move in a circular pattern as the
    waves pass by.
    The anatomy of longitudinal waves
    The anatomy of longitudinal waves

    Compressions are regions of high pressure due to


    particles being closed to each together.
    Rarefactions are regions of low pressure due to the
    particles being spread further apart.

    Wavelength

    Crest

    Amplitude

    Trough
    The anatomy of transverse waves

    Crest and trough refer to the highest point and lowest


    point of a wave pattern, respectively.
    Amplitude is the maximum displacement of a particle of
    the medium on either side of its normal position when the
    waves passes.
    Wavelength the distance between crests or troughs.
    Two types of waves according to propagation

    1. Mechanical waves propagate only through solid, liquid,


    and gas medium. mecganical waves maybe transverse,
    lonitudinal or surface.
    - mechanical waves require the use of a medium.
    Example:
    Sound
    Water wave
    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.
    Period is the time (measured in seconds) required for one
    complete wave to pass a particular point.
    Speed of the wave refers to the distance between 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
    Two types of waves according to propagation
    2. Electromagnetic wave do not need a medium to propagate. The
    sun is an important source of electromagnetic radiation for the earth.
    Energy from the sun is important to sustain life of the earth.
    Example:
    Light waves
    Radio waves
    Xrays
    Microwaves
    Gamma rays
    Infrared
    Assignement:

    1. List at least five examples of waves you can see at your


    home. Write your answers in your notebook.
    2. Directions: Read in advance our next topic about the
    Characteristics of Sounds. And look for the definition of the
    following. Write your answers on your notebook.
    1.Wavelength
    2.Amplitude
    3.Time-period
    4.Frequency
