FINAL Edited Grade 7 QUARTER 3 WEEK 4 WAVES

1. This document discusses different types of waves including transverse, longitudinal, surface, and electromagnetic waves. 2. Transverse waves occur when particles vibrate perpendicular to the direction of wave travel, while longitudinal waves occur when particles vibrate parallel to the direction of wave travel. 3. Surface waves propagate along the boundary between two different media and can be seen in examples like water waves and tsunamis. Electromagnetic waves can travel through empty space.

QUARTER 3 SCIENCE 7

KINDS OF WAVES (WEEK 4)

In this lesson, you are expected to:


Differentiate the types of waves; and
Infer that waves carry energy. (MELC)
Introduction:
Can you identify the image seen in the pictures below?

A. B. C.
__________ wave _________ wave ________________ wave

Waves are the disturbances or vibrations that are caused in a media. It is constantly being created and
always traveling through different media.
Some waves need a medium (matter) to travel through and it carries energy with it. For example, in picture A
the solid rock layers during earthquake waves show us that the amount of energy carried by a wave can do
work on objects by exerting forces that moves objects from their original positions. Some waves can travel in
empty space or vacuum for example the electromagnetic wave in picture C.

Waves can be classified according to the direction of movement of the individual particles relative to the
direction that the wave travels.

Transverse waves occurs when the individual particles of a medium vibrate from side to side perpendicular
(or right angles) to the direction in which the waves travel.

Longitudinal waves occur when the individual particles of a medium vibrate back and forth or parallel to the
direction that the wave moves.

Development:
Activity 1: What are transverse waves?

Directions: Do the procedures below and answer the guide questions. Write your answers in a sheet of paper.

Materials: rope, table, adhesive tape, colored ribbon,


PROCEDURES:
1. Straighten the rope and place it above a long table. Hold one end of the rope and vibrate it up and
down.
Page | 1
2. Tie one end of the rope on a rigid and fixed object (e g heavy table, doorknob etc.)
3. Attach the colored ribbon on one part of the rope. Use an adhesive tape to fix the ribbon.
4. Make a wave by continuously vibrating the end of the rope with quick up and down movement of
your hand. Draw the waveform.
5. Ask a friend to vibrate the rope while you observe the motion of colored ribbon.

GUIDE QUESTIONS:
1. What is the source of the wave pulse?
2. Describe the motion of your hand as you create the pulse?
3. Describe the motion of the pulse with respect to the source? Draw a wave pulse.
4. If you increase the frequency of vibration by jerking the end of the rope at a faster rate, what happens
to the wavelength?
5. How can you increase the frequency of the wave through the rope?
6. How can you decrease the frequency?
7. Observe the wavelength as you increase the frequency of the wave. What happens to the
wavelength?
8. What is the relationship between frequency and wavelength?

wavelength
crest

trough

http://philschatz.com/physics-book/contents/m42248.html

The highest part of a transverse wave is called crest and the lowest point is called trough.
The amplitude of a wave is the maximum displacement of a particle of the medium.
The frequency of periodic waves is the number of waves that pass a particular point for every 1second.
The wavelength is the distance between adjacent crests or troughs.

Activity 2: What are longitudinal waves?


Directions: Do the procedures below and answer the guide questions. Write your answers in a sheet of paper.

Materials: table, spring or slinky, colored ribbon , tape


PROCEDURES:
1. Connect one end of the long table to a wall. Place coil spring
on top of the table. Attach one end of the coil spring to the wall while you hold the other end.
2. Do not lift the coil spring. Ask a friend to vibrate the end of the coil by doing a back – and- forth
movement parallel to the length of the spring. Observe the waves along the coil spring. Draw how
the coil spring looks like as you move it back and forth.
3. Attach a colored ribbon on one part(at the middle) of the coil spring. Use an adhesive tape to fix
the ribbon. Ask a friend to vibrate the coil spring back and forth while you observe the motion of the
colored ribbon. Remember that the colored serve as the marker of a chosen segment of the coil
spring.

Guide Questions:
1. Do the waves transport the colored ribbon from its original position to the end of the rope?
2. Describe the vibration of the colored ribbon. How does it move as waves pass by?

A longitudinal wave can be experimented with the help of a spring slinky by you and one other person.
The other end can be held still while you hit your end.
You will see that the coils of the spring move close together and far apart at the same time. Therefore,
we say that the longitudinal wave travels parallel to the force applied.

Sound waves are longitudinal waves too.

Activity 3: What are surface waves?

Directions: Do the procedures below and answer the guide questions. Write your answers on your answer
sheet.

Materials: table, basin, water, paper boat


PROCEDURES:
1. Place a basin filled with water on top table of a level table.
Wait until the water becomes motionless. Create a wave pulse by tapping the surface of the water
with your index finger observe the direction of travel of the wave pulse. Tap the surface of the
water at regular intervals to create periodic waves. Draw the pattern that you see, in your drawing
mark the source of disturbance.
2. Wait for the water to become still before you place your paper boat on the surface. Create a
periodic wave and observe what happen to your paper boat.

Guide Questions:
1. Do the waves set the paper boat into motion?
What is required to set an object in motion?
2. If you exert more energy in creating periodic waves by tapping the surface with greater strength.
How does this affect the movement of the paper boat?
3. Does the waves transport water molecules from the source of the vibration?

Surface Waves
In physics a surface wave is a mechanical wave that propagates along the interface between differing media.
When wind blows over the water it causes wave called surface wave. These waves are totally different
as compared to the other waves as it moves in circular motion.
Cre

One of the examples of surface waves is the tsunami which happens because of undersea earthquakes
or shift of tectonic plates. These waves can hardly be observed in the middle of the ocean, but as they reach
the shore, they are in giant sizes. Some are even reaching 200 feet in height.
Engagement:
Constructing a Straw wave model
Directions: Please watch a video on how to construct the Straw Wave Model
Link: youtube.com/watch? V=llF8sdHTqaU
Materials: 90 pcs. Straw and cello tape

Page | 3
This model is made by sandwiching 90 straw between two layers of sticky tape. On plucking at
one end a wave will travel and return back. Twist it to show the “crests” and “troughs”.
Questions:
1. Did you enjoy creating a wave using the straw wave model.
2. Where you able to create a crest and trough.
3. Do you believe that wave carries energy?
4. Where does the energy come from?
5. How does wave carry energy?

Assessment no.1

Directions: Read the following statement. Write T if the statement is TRUE, and F if the statement is FALSE
in your answer sheet.

1. ________Electromagnetic waves can travel in empty space or space that has no particles.
2. ________Transverse mechanical waves are waves that travel parallel to an applied force.
3. _______ Longitudinal waves are the same as Transverse waves,
4. _______ Surface waves are waves that travel along the boundary between two different media, such as
air and water or liquids of different densities.
5. _______ Tsunamis are huge longitudinal waves caused by shift of tectonic plates.
