Wave LAS

1. The document is a learning activity sheet for 7th grade science that discusses different types of waves. 2. It includes exercises where students observe transverse waves by vibrating a rope up and down, longitudinal waves by vibrating a coil spring back and forth, and surface waves by tapping water. 3. The exercises are meant to demonstrate that transverse waves involve side-to-side particle motion perpendicular to the direction of wave travel, while longitudinal waves involve back-and-forth particle motion parallel to the direction of travel.

CONCEPT NOTES:
Waves occurs all around you in the physical world.
A Wave is a periodic disturbance that moves away from a source and carries energy with
it. For example, earthquake waves show us that the amount of energy carried by a wave can do
work on objects by exerting forces that move objects from their original position.
A vibration causes wave motion. When you observe a wave, the source is always a
vibration.

EXERCISES:
.

A. What are transverse waves?

1. Straighten the rope and place it above a long table. Hold one end of the rope and vibrate it up and
down. You would be able to observe a pulse. Draw three sketches of the rope showing the motion of
the pulse at three subsequent instances (snapshots at three different times). Draw an arrow to
represent the direction of the pulse’s motion
a. What is the source of the wave pulse?
b. Describe the motion of your hand as you create the pulse.
c. Describe the motion of the pulse with respect to the source.

You will now tag a specific part of the rope while making a series of pulses. A periodic wave can be
regarded as a series of pulses. One pulse follows another in regular succession.

2.Tie one end of the rope on a rigid and fixed object (e.g heavy table, door knob, etc).Attach a colored ribbon on
one part of the rope. You may use adhesive tape to fix the ribbon. Make a wave by continuously vibrating the
end of the rope with quick up-and-down movements of your hand. Draw the waveform or the shape of the
wave that you have created
.
3. Ask a friend to vibrate the rope while you observe the motion of the colored ribbon. Remember that
the colored ribbon serves as a marker of a chosen segment of the rope.

a. Does the wave transport the colored ribbon from its original position to the end of the rope?

Competence.Dedication.Optimism
b. Describe the vibration of the colored ribbon. How does it move as waves pass by? Does it move in
the same direction as the wave?

B. What are longitudinal waves?

1. Connect one end of a long table to a wall. Place coil spring on top of table. Attach one end of the
coil spring to the wall while you hold the other end. Do not lift the coil spring. Ask a friend to vibrate the
end of the coil spring by doing a back-and-forth motion 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 .
2. Attach a colored ribbon on one part of the coil spring. You may 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 ribbon serves as a marker of a chosen segment of the coil
spring.
a. Does the wave transport the colored ribbon from its original position to the end of the rope?
b. Describe the vibration of the colored ribbon. How does it move as waves pass by?

C. What are surface waves?

.1. Place a basin filled with water on top of a level table. Wait until the water becomes still or
motionless. Create a wave pulse by tapping the surface of the water with your index finger and
observe the direction of travel of the wave pulse. Tap the surface of the water at regular intervals to
create periodic waves. View the waves from above and draw the pattern that you see. In your
drawing, mark the source of the disturbance.
a. Do the waves set the paper boat into motion? What is required to set an object into motion?
b. 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?

D. Summary

1. Waves can be typified according to the direction of motion of the vibrating particles with respect to
the direction in which the waves travel.

a. Waves in a rope are called ____________ waves because the individual segments of the rope
vibrate ____________ to the direction in which the waves travel.

b. When each portion of a coil spring is alternatively compressed and extended, ____________
waves are produced.

c. Waves on the surface of a body of water are a combination of transverse and longitudinal waves.
Each water molecule moves in a _______________ pattern as the waves pass by.

2. How do we know that waves carry energy?

3. What happens when waves pass by?

Competence.Dedication.Optimism
