Anthony Zamora And Waves
Learning targets
Students will describe waves
Students will compare different types of waves
In this picture it explains thath there is different waves. In addition it shows two examples which are transverse waves and longitudinal waves. It shows that trasverse waves move up and down and that longitudnal waves move back and forth.
Vocabulary
Wave-Is an oscillation accompanied by a transfer of energy that travels through space or mass
Medium-The intervening substance through which impressions are conveyed to the senses or a force acts on objects at a distance
Mechanical wave-Is a wave that is an oscillation of matter, and therefore transfers energy through a medium
Electromagnetic wave-Are waves that contain an electric field and a magnetic field and carry energy
Transverse wave-A wave vibrating at right angles to the direction of its propagation
Longitudinal wave-A wave vibrating in the direction of propagation
Surface wave-Is a mechanical wavethat propagates along the interface between differing media, usually as a gravity wave between two fluids with different densities
This video explains how and what these two different waves move and look. Also it talks about how there made and what sounds they are and what lights they are. Lastly it shows the waves movment.

Questions
Compare and contrast longitudinal and transverse waves. Provide an example of each wave - Transverse waves move up and down. Longitudinal waves move back and forth. An example of trasverse waves are light waves. An example for longitudinal waves are sound waves.
Compare and contrast mechanical and electromagnetic waves. Provide an example of each wave - Mechanical waves move in a medium and require one to travel period. Electromagnetic on the other hand doesnt require a medium to travel through. An example of a mechanical wave is Slinky waves, water waves, stadium waves, and jump rope. An example of electromagnetic waves are microwaves, infrared radiation (IR), visible light (VIS), ultraviolet light (UV), X-rays, and gamma rays
Describe a surface wave, give a picture, and provide an example - is a mechanical wavethat propagates along the interface between differing media, usually as a gravity wave between two fluids with different densities.
An example would be water waves.
