ABSTRACT
Our aim in this unit is to introduce the physical concept of wave to the students. This is quite a tough job since the student have worked all the years before with particles (i.e. a ball, a box or any other was considered as a point). However, understanding new (and, by the way, very common) phenomena such as light or sound requires the use of the concept of wave, which is completely different to the concept of particle. Waves have different effects such as reflection, refraction, and diffraction.This change is so big that we will only want the students to get the general idea, and make them have some interest about these phenomena. A more accurate study is accomplished in 2nd of Bachillerato.

1. What is a wave?
Have you ever tried to throw a stone into a lake? Probably yes. What happens
when you do it? Exactly, there appears a circle which moves in all direction making
itself bigger and bigger. In Physics, when we make a system that was quiet
suddenly change, we say that we perturb the system. So, when you throw that
stone you are creating a perturbation.
So, that what a wave is: a perturbation that propagates in the space. Or, in a more
accurate way:
A wave is a propagation of Energy which carries no matter.
A wave carries no matter because if it would, the amount of water in the lake
would change, but, if you think about that, it never does.
Examples of waves are the light we see by our eyes, or the sound we hear by our
ears.
2. Types of waves
Basically, we have two different kind of waves according on the direction of the
perturbation that the wave carries.
Longitudinal waves: The perturbation takes place in the direction of the
propagation. For example: the sound.
Crossed waves: The perturbation takes places in the direction
perpendicular to the direction of propagation. For example: the light.
3. Wave equation
If we want to work with waves in a proper way, we will need to know how a wave
can be mathematically expressed. The equation of a wave has the following form:
1
It is very useful because you can know the value of the perturbation in any time
and position. It depends on three different parameters:
Amplitud A: gives an idea of how big the wave is.
Angular frequency :ω Is the velocity of the vibration of the perturbation, it
is closely related with de period of the wave.
Number of waves k: gives an idea of the length of the wave.
We can plot the equation to obtain:
And we can observe that it has the shape of an oscillation.
4. Properties of the waves
The waves, as we have said before, present some different properties than the
properties of the common particles. Basically, there are three properties:
reflection, refraction, diffraction.
Reflection: is the change of the direction of a wave when it comes across a
separation between two medium and it returns back. An example of this is
when you look at yourself on a mirror: the light rebounds on the mirror and
it gets back so you can see yourself.
Refraction: is the change of the direction of the wave that happens when
the wave passes from one media to another (this is the difference with the
2
reflection). When refraction takes place, the objects seem to distort. An
example of this is the pencil in the glass of water:

Diffraction: is the capacity that the waves have overcome obstacles, and
keep on propagating. The reason why this happens is because every point of
the wave behaves as an emitter focus. One proof of this effect is that you
can hear a person who talks to you although you can’t see them, as the next
picture shows.

SELF-ASSESSMENT
First of all, I would like to say that computering has always been a tough thing for me. I remember how I suffered the first years of my degree how I suffered trying to compile program of numerical calculus.Things haven’t got better for me, but I have to say that now that I’m finishing this module I realized that it can be a very interesting tool to work with the students. To be honest, I regret a bit having done all this project almost in the deadline, I think I could have taken more advantage of this course. But, on the other hand, I think I have improved my computer skills, learn about some new computer languages and, in the end, have been able to handle some tools that I didn’t expected, so I’m happy about that.
