For example empty space like air. mauriellobruno2003 https://padlet.com/mauriellobruno2003/2wiehgu18msl/wish/156584984 2017-02-27 22:39:13 UTC https://padlet.com/mauriellobruno2003/2wiehgu18msl/wish/156584984 Sound waves cannot travel through outer space, because space is like a vacuum. mauriellobruno2003 https://padlet.com/mauriellobruno2003/2wiehgu18msl/wish/156585210 2017-02-27 22:40:43 UTC https://padlet.com/mauriellobruno2003/2wiehgu18msl/wish/156585210 Waves that require a Medium are called mechanical wave. mauriellobruno2003 https://padlet.com/mauriellobruno2003/2wiehgu18msl/wish/156585355 2017-02-27 22:41:37 UTC https://padlet.com/mauriellobruno2003/2wiehgu18msl/wish/156585355 But not all waves need a medium. Electromagnetic waves, such as visible light, radio waves, microwaves and x- rays can travel through a vacuum. mauriellobruno2003 https://padlet.com/mauriellobruno2003/2wiehgu18msl/wish/156585483 2017-02-27 22:42:39 UTC https://padlet.com/mauriellobruno2003/2wiehgu18msl/wish/156585483 Waves that can travel only through matter are called mechanical waves. mauriellobruno2003 https://padlet.com/mauriellobruno2003/2wiehgu18msl/wish/156585596 2017-02-27 22:43:37 UTC https://padlet.com/mauriellobruno2003/2wiehgu18msl/wish/156585596 A wave can be measured in terms of its speed, amplitude, wavelength, phase, period and frequency. mauriellobruno2003 https://padlet.com/mauriellobruno2003/2wiehgu18msl/wish/156585965 2017-02-27 22:46:22 UTC https://padlet.com/mauriellobruno2003/2wiehgu18msl/wish/156585965 The amplitude of a wave is the maximum displacement of the wave from its position of rest, or equilibrium. A wave’s amplitude depends on how it is generated, but not on its speed. More work must be done to generate a wave with a greater amplitude mauriellobruno2003 https://padlet.com/mauriellobruno2003/2wiehgu18msl/wish/156586073 2017-02-27 22:47:03 UTC https://padlet.com/mauriellobruno2003/2wiehgu18msl/wish/156586073 mauriellobruno2003 https://padlet.com/mauriellobruno2003/2wiehgu18msl/wish/156586592 2017-02-27 22:50:44 UTC https://padlet.com/mauriellobruno2003/2wiehgu18msl/wish/156586592 WAVELENGTH : is the distance between one point on a wave and the nearest point just like it. mauriellobruno2003 https://padlet.com/mauriellobruno2003/2wiehgu18msl/wish/156586769 2017-02-27 22:52:07 UTC https://padlet.com/mauriellobruno2003/2wiehgu18msl/wish/156586769 mauriellobruno2003 https://padlet.com/mauriellobruno2003/2wiehgu18msl/wish/156587134 2017-02-27 22:55:26 UTC https://padlet.com/mauriellobruno2003/2wiehgu18msl/wish/156587134 The period of a wave: is the amount of time required for one complete vibration of the particles of the medium. mauriellobruno2003 https://padlet.com/mauriellobruno2003/2wiehgu18msl/wish/156587508 2017-02-27 22:58:29 UTC https://padlet.com/mauriellobruno2003/2wiehgu18msl/wish/156587508 As the particles of a medium complete one full cycle of vibration at any point of the wave, one wavelength passes by that same point. Thus, the period of a wave describes the time it takes for a complete wavelength to pass a given point mauriellobruno2003 https://padlet.com/mauriellobruno2003/2wiehgu18msl/wish/156587583 2017-02-27 22:59:09 UTC https://padlet.com/mauriellobruno2003/2wiehgu18msl/wish/156587583 There are many ways to describe or measure a wave. Some characteristics depend on how the wave is produced, whereas others depend on the medium through which the wave travels. mauriellobruno2003 https://padlet.com/mauriellobruno2003/2wiehgu18msl/wish/156587909 2017-02-27 23:02:16 UTC https://padlet.com/mauriellobruno2003/2wiehgu18msl/wish/156587909 Mechanical waves mauriellobruno2003 https://padlet.com/mauriellobruno2003/2wiehgu18msl/wish/156588094 2017-02-27 23:03:41 UTC https://padlet.com/mauriellobruno2003/2wiehgu18msl/wish/156588094 Frequency is measured in hertz. One hertz (Hz) is one oscillation per second. The frequency and period of a wave are related by the following equation. mauriellobruno2003 https://padlet.com/mauriellobruno2003/2wiehgu18msl/wish/156590390 2017-02-27 23:24:11 UTC https://padlet.com/mauriellobruno2003/2wiehgu18msl/wish/156590390 Waves mauriellobruno2003 https://padlet.com/mauriellobruno2003/2wiehgu18msl/wish/156866746 2017-02-28 20:52:08 UTC https://padlet.com/mauriellobruno2003/2wiehgu18msl/wish/156866746 Electromagnetic waves mauriellobruno2003 https://padlet.com/mauriellobruno2003/2wiehgu18msl/wish/157007186 2017-03-01 13:49:05 UTC https://padlet.com/mauriellobruno2003/2wiehgu18msl/wish/157007186
