Waves What does energy have to do with waves? What does energy have to do with the wave? • All forms of energy travel from one point to another point in the form of one or two different types of waves. What does energy have to do with the wave? • Transverse wave: What does energy have to do with the wave? • Transverse wave: A wave in which particles of the medium move perpendicular to the wave. What does energy have to do with the wave? • Transverse wave: A wave in which particles of the medium move perpendicular to the wave. – Waves in the ocean. Transverse Wave: Energy Parts of a wave: • Crest: The highest point of the wave. Parts of a wave: • Crest: The highest point of the wave. • Trough: The lowest point of the wave. Parts of a wave: Parts of a wave: • Crest: The highest point of the wave. • Trough: The lowest point of the wave. • Amplitude: The biggest upward movement from the center. Parts of a wave: Parts of a wave: • Crest: The highest point of the wave. • Trough: The lowest point of the wave. • Amplitude: The biggest upward movement from the center. • Wavelength: The distance between two waves. Parts of a wave: Parts of a wave: • Crest: The highest point of the wave. • Trough: The lowest point of the wave. • Amplitude: The biggest upward movement from the center. • Wavelength: The distance between two waves. • Frequency: How many waves are in a given period of time.

What does energy have to do with the wave? • Longitudinal waves: A wave in which particles of the medium move parallel to the wave. – Sound waves are this type.
