Characteristics of Waves

• One thing ALL waves have in common is that they all transfer energy.

• As they travel through a medium, they move the molecules around, but eventually leave them in the same place they started.


• Consider the following wave: Frequency = 10 Hz

• Example: A radio wave has a frequency of 104 kHz. What is its wavelength?


• Example: A radio wave has a frequency of 104 kHz. What is its wavelength?

Fact: Radio waves travel at the speed of light, so we know that v=3.0E8m/s for the radio wave.


• Example: A radio wave has a frequency of 104 kHz. What is its wavelength?v=3.0E8m/s f= 104kHz= 104,000Hz

Snell’s Law

• The Index of Refraction (n) tells us how fast light travels through a medium.

• As n gets lower, light travels faster. Light travels fastest in a vacuum.

Snell’s Law

• Example: A beam of light travels from crystal into water with an angle of incidence of 60° and an angle of refraction of 50°. Find the index of refraction of the crystal. (nwater=1.33)

Snell’s Law


Snell’s Law: n1sinθ1= n2sinθ2

Half Life

• Over time radioactive stuff looses it’s mass because of radiation.

• A Half Life is the amount of time it takes for half of a sample to disappear.

• i.e.- If 1kg of stuff has a half life of 10min. After 10min, there is only 0.5kg left.

Half Life

• If a 10kg sample of a radioactive substance has a half life of 5 sec, how much will be left after 15 sec?

Half Life


-How many half lives go past in 15 sec?

Atomic Energy

• Nuclear reactions can transfer matter into energy.

• One type of reaction is Fusion.

Atomic Energy

• Nuclear reactions can transfer matter into energy.

• One type of reaction is Fusion.

• An example of fusion would be two Hydrogen atoms colliding and turning into a Helium atom and releasing energy. In the sun.

Antimatter

• Matter and antimatter can also come together to release energy in a process called annihilation.

The amount of energy released is equal to:

2mcE
