move around but are still
close together
–indefinite shape

force & spread out.

WAVES:
A way to transmit energy
Waves are defined as a periodic
disturbance that carries energy from one
place to another.
A periodic disturbance is one that
happens over and over again at regular
intervals.
.
Like a bouncing ball, the motion
repeats over and over again.
There are two kinds of waves you
should recognize.
Longitudinal or compression
waves
and transverse waves.
Longitudinal waves, like sound waves, are
mechanical waves because they must have
a material to travel through.
The material they travel through is called
the “medium”.
The medium can be any material.
Air
Rock
Water
Wood
Anything!
Sometimes longitudinal waves are referred
to as compression waves because they are
caused by a vibrating object compressing
and rarefying the atoms or molecules of
the medium.
Vibrating object
Alternating areas of compression and rarefaction in the
medium.
•By vibrating back and forth, the vibrating object
alternates between compressing and rarefying the
molecules of the medium.
Areas of compression
are high pressure areas
where the molecules
are squeezed closer
together by a vibrating
object.
Areas of rarefaction are low
pressure areas where the
vibrating object pulls the
molecules further apart.
In longitudinal waves the molecules of the medium
vibrate along with the vibrating object. Molecules of
the medium vibrate back and forth on each side of a
fixed resting point, transferring their kinetic energy
to adjacent molecules. In this way the energy is
transferred, but the molecules remain in place.
Longitudinal waves get their name because the
vibration that puts energy into the wave vibrates in
the same plane in which the energy moves.
Transverse Waves
In a transverse wave the particle displacement is
perpendicular to the direction of the energy
transfer.
The particles do not move along with the wave, they simply
vibrate up and down about their individual rest positions as the
wave passes by.
Pick a single particle and watch its motion.
The wavelength of a wave is the distance
between successive vibrations. Wavelength
is measured in meters. Here is how
wavelength is measured on a transverse
wave.
This diagram shows how wavelength can
be measured on a longitudinal wave. It
is measured from compression to
compression.
The Amplitude of a wave determines how much
energy a wave is carrying. This can easily be
seen in a transverse wave where the wave height
is the amplitude. Obviously, the higher the wave
crest the higher the amplitude, and the greater
the wave energy.
In longitudinal waves amplitude is a measure of
the degree of compression. The more compressed
the compressions are the greater the amplitude.
Low amplitude ( Less compression)
High amplitude ( greater
compression)
Wave velocity is a measure of how fast the
energy is being transferred. Wave velocity is
measured in meters per second (m/s).
Wave frequency, for a transverse wave, is a
measure of how many wave crests pass a point in one
second. Wave frequency is measured in Hertz.
1Hertz is equal to 1wave per second. If 5 waves
pass the smiley in one second, then the wave
frequency is 5Hz or 5 waves per second.
Longitudinal wave frequency is how many compressions
pass a point in one second.
Wave period, for transverse and longitudinal waves,
is the time it takes for one complete wave ( one
wavelength) to pass a point. If it takes .3seconds
for a single wave to pass the smiley then the wave
period is .3s. Wave period is measured in seconds.

What is thermal energy?
S8P2d. Describe how heat can be transferred
through matter by the collisions of atoms
(conduction) or through space (radiation).
In a liquid or gas, currents will facilitate the
transfer of heat (convection).
What is Thermal
Energy?
Kinetic Theory of Matter
1. All matter is made of atoms and molecules that act like
tiny particles.
2. These tiny particles are always in motion. The higher the
temperature, the faster the particles move (The higher
the temperature, the more KE due to speed at which the
particles move)
3. At the same temperature, more massive (heavier) particles
move slower than less massive (lighter) particles. (Mass and
Velocity of particle movement are inversely proportional. If
temp remains the same, mass will have to increase if
velocity decreases and vice versa)
Particles of matter are in constant motion. This
motion relates directly to the state of matter of the
object (solids, liquids, or gases).
Temperature affects how fast these particles move.
The higher the temperature the faster the particles
move. Moving particles possess kinetic energy.
Temperature is defined at the average kinetic energy
of the particles of an object.
Thermal Energy is the sum total of all of the energy of
the particles of an object.
Thermal energy and temperature are related though
DIFFERENT.
Temperature is the average kinetic energy of the
particles of an object.
Thermal energy is the total amount of energy of the
particles of an object.
A bathtub full of water at 100oF has more thermal
energy than a thimble of water at 100oF. The
temperature is the same but the total amount of
energy is different. The bathtub has more energy.
Transferring Thermal Energy
How is Thermal Energy Transferred? YOU MUST
KNOW THIS!!!!!
Conduction – direct contact
Convection – through a fluid
Radiation – by electromagnetic waves
What is heat transfer by conduction?
Heat transfers as particles of an object increase their
collisions as heated. These collisions transfer the heat
energy through the object by colliding with nearby
particles.
What is heat transfer by convection?
Heat is transferred through a substance through
currents. This occurs in fluids (liquids AND gases)
Convection currents are caused by heating of a liquid
or gas, the liquid or gas rises, then cools and falls. This
occurs in the mantle of the earth
And in the atmosphere.
Most of our weather patterns are the result of
convection currents in the atmosphere.
What is heat transfer by radiation?
Radiation is heat transfer by electromagnetic waves.
These wave may pass through all states of matter and
also through NO matter – such as the vacuum of
space.
This energy is often called radiant energy.
Radiant energy from the sun travels through the
vacuum of until it reaches the earth.
How is heat flow controlled?

pass through it easily.

insulation to survive
severe winters.

not pass out of (winter time) and into (summer time).
