  • Scalar is a physical quantity that has both physics and direction
  • vector is any quantity that has both magnitude and direction
  • force is the measurement of push and pull. it also procuces motion
  • motion is defined as the continuous change in position. it has an origin or a reference point.
  • ..
  • ..
  • the difference between speed and velocity, is that velocity has direction
  • TAKE NOTE: Accelaration is the speed that has respect to time
  • 2nd LESSON:
    • Waves are repetitive disturbance that travels through a medium vacuum and carries energy
  • KEYWORDS:
    • vacuum - empty space
    • medium - where waves travel; solid, liquid, gas
  • the height of the wave is called amplitude.
    and the highest peak of the wave is called crest,
    while the lowest peak is called trough
  • the distance of each crests of the wave is called the wavelength
    • FREQUENCY is the number of waves produced per unit time
    • PERIOD is the time taken for the complete cylce of the wave to pass a reference point.
    • WAVELENGTH is the distance between waves
    • SPEED is the distance travelled by a wave per unit time
    • AMPLITUDE is the maximum amount of displacement of a particle on the medium from its resting point .
  • TAKE NOTE (AMPLITUDE): the greater the amplitude the greater the energy carried by the wave.
  • CHARACTERISTICS OF WAVES:
    reflection : bouncing of waves when they hit a boundary
    refraction : the change in the direction of the wave when it moves through a different medium
    interference : behavior oh the waves as they pass through the same region of the space at the same time
    diffraction : spreading of the waves along a certain space when they hit an obstacle
  • CLASSIFICATIONS OF WAVES:
    -According to their movement;
    • tranverse movement
    • longitudinal movement
    -According to their nature;
    • mechanical waves
    • electromagnetic waves
  • transverse movement:
    -is one in which the particles of the medium are vibrating perpendicularly to the direction of the wave propagation.
    KEYWORD : UP AND DOWN
    CREST AND TROUGH
  • longitudinal movement:
    -waves in which the medium moves back and forth in the same direction as the wave
    KEYWORD : BACK AND FORTH
  • mechanical waves:
    -require a medium to propagate
  • electromagnetic waves:
    -can travel in a vacuum and in any medium
  • TAKE NOTE!!! : electromagnetic waves and transverse waves are dependent on each other.
    electromagnetic waves are also transverse waves. = 3x10(raise to 8) m/s
  • TYPES OF ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVES :
    • R - adiowave
    • M - icrowave
    • I - nfrared
    • V - isible wave
    • U - ltra violet
    • X - ray
    • G - amma rays
  • solution for frequency :
    • f = v x (lambda)
  • Solution for period:
    • T = 1 / F
  • solution for wavelength :
    • (lambda) = v / f
  • solution for speed (wave):
    • v = f x (lambda)
    • v = (lambda) / period
  • sound is produced when matter vibrates, these vibrations travel outwards from the source.
    sound consists of waves and travel as a longitudinal wave.
  • sound waves can travel through mediums but not through a vacuum.
  • CHARACTERISTICS OF SOUNDS:
    • pitch - highness or lowness of a tone, which is related to the frequency of the tone, is called the pitch of a tone ---NOTE: THE HIGHER THE FREQUENCY THE HIGHER THE PITCH.
    • Loudness or intensity;
    • intensity : it is the sound energy. it is the "technical term" for the amount or sound energy that a wave produces.
  • CONTINUATION
    • loudness or intensity;
    • loudness - it is what we hear. it is the psychological sensation of how our ears perceived the intensity of the sound.
  • TAKE NOTE:
    the measure of sound is in decibels (dB)
    • QUALITY OR TONE - it is the vibrating of a medium that distinguishes it from another source.
