Wave is a disturbance that travels through a medium in a series of oscillations

medium :–

substance or a material which carries the waves from it s source to another location

Types of Waves

  1. Transverse waves
  2. Longitudinal waves

12 of 38

Transverse wave

A wave in which the vibration of particles in the medium is at right angle (perpendicular) to the direction of propagation of the wave

E.g: Water waves

Electromagnetic waves

13 of 38

The particle of the material move up and down along the direction in which the wave is travelling

14 of 38

15 of 38

Longitudinal waves

A wave in which the vibration of particles in the medium is parallel to the direction of propagation of the wave

E.g: sound wave

16 of 38

The particle of the material move backwards and forwards along the direction in which the wave is travelling

Terms

  • Amplitude – maximum displacement from mean position
  • Period, T – time taken to complete one oscillation
  • Frequency, f – number of complete oscillations made in one second
  • Wavelength – horizontal distance between two successive equivalent points on the wave

24 of 38

  • Amplitude increase, loudness increase
  • Frequency increase, pitch increase

Example 1

Calculate the wave speed if its wavelength and frequency are 3.5 cm and 15 Hz respectively

37 of 38

Example 2

A wave travels with a speed 2.5 x 108 m s-1.

a. What is the frequency of the wave if its wavelength is 2.7 m?

b. Another wave is travelling with the same speed but has a frequency of 1.0 x 1012 Hz. What is the wavelength of the wave?
