Questions and Answers

What describes how the particles of a medium behave when a wave passes through them?

  • Particles vibrate without transferring any energy.
  • Particles move in the same direction as the wave travels.
  • Particles remain completely still and do not vibrate.

    Study Notes

    Module L: Waves and Their Applications

    • This module focuses on waves and their applications.
    • Unit 1: Waves is the first unit.

    Day 1 - Objectives

    • Draw a mechanical wave.
    • Explain the relationship between frequency and wavelength in a wave.
    • Investigate the energy of a wave on a spring.

    Starter

    • Identify the differences between two depicted waves (Wave 1 and Wave 2).

    Group Work Activity

    • Students will discuss and answer questions related to the given activity sheet.

    • Students will share and calculate the speed of waves.

    • Each group will use a device to simulate a wave on a spring.

    • Students will share answers, and the teacher will provide feedback.

    • All questions must be answered and returned to the teacher.

    • Students will be provided with frequency, wavelength, and wave speed data for Jack, Tom, and Alex.

    • A question asks which student has less energy applied to the spring and why.

    • Another question asks about the relationship between wavelength and wave speed.

    Day 2 - Lesson 2: The Behavior of Mechanical Waves

    • Standards:
      • MS-PS4-1: Use mathematical representations to describe a simple model for waves that includes how the amplitude of waves is related to the energy in a wave.
      • MS-PS4-2: Develop and use a model to describe that waves are reflected, absorbed, or transmitted through various materials.

    Objectives

    • Define a sound wave.
    • Identify the meaning of loudness.
    • Describe pitch.
    • Explain how particles of a medium behave when a wave passes them.
    • Compare the speed of sound waves transferred through gas, liquid, and solid.

    Vocabulary

    • Sound wave
    • Loudness
    • Pitch

    Starter

    • Label parts of a diagram. The diagram shows a wave and particles. The parts to label include A, B, C, and D.

    The Behavior of Mechanical Wave - Sound Wave

    • Sound waves carry energy through the air.
    • When you shout, your friend receives the energy as sound.
    • The air does not move from your vocal cords to your friend's ear.
      • Air particles vibrate as energy passes.

    Defining Sound Waves

    • Sound waves are longitudinal mechanical waves caused by the vibration of medium's particles as the wave travels through a medium.
    • Mechanical waves require a medium.
      • Sound waves are longitudinal.
      • Water waves are transverse.
    • Electromagnetic waves do not require a medium.
      • Light is an example.

    What is a sound wave?

    • A longitudinal mechanical wave caused by the vibration of medium's particles.

    Check Your Understanding

    • Where does sound travel faster (solid, liquid, or air)? Explain.

    Sound Wave, Its Media, and Speed

    • Sound travels fastest in solids, then liquids, then air.

    Why?

    • The closeness of particles in solids allows sound to travel quicker.

    Materials (Solid, Liquid, Gas)

    • Solids have tightly packed particles, liquids have loosely packed particles, and gases have widely spaced particles.

    Checking Understanding:

    • Describe how sound waves transfer energy.
    • A sound wave passes a particle, how does the particle move?.
      • Particle vibrates vertically, moving up and down.

    Day 3 - Loudness and Pitch

    • Objectives:
      • Identify the meaning of loudness and pitch.
      • Explain the relationship between loudness and energy, frequency, and pitch.
      • Classify sounds as loud/soft or high/low pitch.
      • Compare and contrast loud/soft sounds and high/low pitched sound from a given wave.

    Test the Sound

    • Test the sound of various materials to identify sounds (loud, soft, shrill, or deep).

    Properties of Sound

    • Loudness is related to volume/amplitude, and relates to energy.
    • Pitch is related to frequency, or how high or low the sound is.

    Properties of Sound (Summary):

    • Loudness is related to the volume of sound and directly to the amplitude. Higher amplitude = louder sound
    • Pitch is how high or low a sound is, and is directly related to frequency. A high-pitched buzz means sound waves have a high frequency reaching your ear.
