A student is able to• describe what is meant by wave motion;• recognise that waves transfer energy
without transferring matter;• compare transverse and longitudinal waves
and give examples of each;• state what is meant by a wavefront;• state the direction of propagation of waves
in relation to wavefronts.

Waves• A wave is a travelling DISTURBANCE
from a vibrating or oscillating source.

Waves• A wave carries energy along with it in
the direction of its propagation.• A wave is a mean of energy transfer
through vibration.

Example of Waves• Light waves - produced as a result of
vibrations of electrons in an atom • Sound waves - produced by vibrating
mechanical bodies such as a guitar strings or a tuning fork
• Water waves - produced by a disturbance on a still water surface

Wave motion• The transfer of energy through
space without the accompanying transfer of matter.

How do wave transfer energy?1.1 UNDERSTANDING WAVES
• When the string is shaken up and down, a disturbance moves along the length of the string. • It is the disturbance that
moves along the length of the string, not parts of the string itself.
![Page 8: 1.1 Understanding Waves](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062316/56d6c05f1a28ab30169a1e0e/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
How do wave transfer energy?1.1 UNDERSTANDING WAVES
• When energy is transferred by a wave from a vibrating source to a distant receiver, there is no transfer of matter between the two points.
![Page 9: 1.1 Understanding Waves](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062316/56d6c05f1a28ab30169a1e0e/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
How do wave transfer energy?1.1 UNDERSTANDING WAVES
• Drop a stone in a quiet pond. It will produce a wave that moves out from the center in expanding circles. It is the disturbance that moves, not the water. After the disturbance passes, the water is where it was before the wave was produced .

How do wave transfer energy?1.1 UNDERSTANDING WAVES
• From the two examples, the string and water is the medium through which wave energy travels.

![Page 39: 1.1 Understanding Waves](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062316/56d6c05f1a28ab30169a1e0e/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
1.1 UNDERSTANDING WAVESWhat is damping?• Damping is the decrease in the
amplitude of an oscillating system when its energy is drained out as heat energy.
• The amplitude of an oscillating system will gradually decrease and become ZERO when the oscillation stops.
• But, frequency does not change.
![Page 40: 1.1 Understanding Waves](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062316/56d6c05f1a28ab30169a1e0e/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
1.1 UNDERSTANDING WAVESWhat causes damping?• External damping of the system is the
loss of energy to overcome frictional forces or air resistance.
• Internal damping is the loss of energy due to the extension and compression of the molecules in the system.
![Page 41: 1.1 Understanding Waves](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062316/56d6c05f1a28ab30169a1e0e/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)

1.1 UNDERSTANDING WAVES• To enable an oscillating system to go on
continuously, an external force must be supplied to the system.
• The external force supplies energy to the system. Such a motion is called a forced oscillation.
• The frequency of a system which oscillates freely without the action of an external force is called the natural frequency.
![Page 44: 1.1 Understanding Waves](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062316/56d6c05f1a28ab30169a1e0e/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
1.1 UNDERSTANDING WAVESResonance• Resonance occurs when a system is made
to oscillate at a frequency equivalent to its natural frequency by an external force.
• The resonating system oscillates at its maximum amplitude.
