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.
