  2. 25.3Wave Motion OBJECTIVE: distinguish between frequency and wave speed & calculate the speed of a wave

  3. 25.3Wave Motion • Most information gets to us in some form of wave. • Sound • Light • Radio and Television

  4. 25.3Wave Motion When energy is transferred by a wave from a vibrating source to a distant receiver, no matter is transferred between the two points. The disturbance moves, not parts of the string itself.

  5. 25.3Wave Motion In water waves, it is the disturbance that moves, not the water.

  6. 25.3Wave Motion Sound waves are a disturbance in the air that travels to your ears, but the air doesn’t move.

  7. 25.4Wave Speed The speed of a wave depends on the medium through which the wave moves. Whatever the medium, the speed, wavelength, and frequency of the wave are related.

  8. 25.4Wave Speed If the wavelength is 1 meter, and one wavelength per second passes the pole, then the speed of the wave is 1 m/s.

  9. 25.4Wave Speed • If the wavelength is 3 meters and if two crests pass a stationary point each second, then 3 meters × 2 waves pass by in 1 second. • The waves therefore move at 6 meters per second. • v =f • v is wave speed, • is wavelength, • f is wave frequency.

  10. 25.4Wave Speed In air, the product of wavelength and frequency is the same for every frequency of sound. That’s why you don’t hear the high notes in a chord before you hear the low notes. The sounds all reach you at the same time. Long wavelengths have low frequencies, and short wavelengths have high frequencies.

  11. 25.4Wave Speed Wavelength and frequency vary inversely to produce the same wave speed in air for all sounds. In fresh water, sound waves travel at 1482 m/s

  12. 25.4Wave Speed think! If a water wave vibrates up and down two times each second and the distance between wave crests is 1.5 m, what is the frequency of the wave? What is its wavelength? What is its speed?

  13. 25.4Wave Speed think! What is the wavelength of a 340-Hz sound wave when the speed of sound in air is 340 m/s?
