This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: Types of Waves 1, wave can pass through a series of vibrating objects which is damped harmonic motion- a vibration that fades out as energy is transferred from one object to another, travels through a medium a medium is needed for mechanical waves, Vibrations & Waves: most waves are caused by vibrating objects where mechanical energy of a vibrating mass-spring system changes form, transfers energy where energy is the ability to exert a force over a certain distance, What is a wave? a wave transfers energy, Vibrations & Waves: most waves are caused by vibrating objects and a wave can pass through a series of vibrating objects, medium is the matter through which a wave travels ex water,air, Earth, What is a wave? a wave travels through a medium, are changing electric & magnetic fields in space where light can travel from the sun to Earth across empty space, electromagnetic wave does not require a medium they are changing electric & magnetic fields in space, transfers energy and a bigger wave= more energy, Types of Waves includes Vibrations & Waves: most waves are caused by vibrating objects, Vibrations & Waves: most waves are caused by vibrating objects and move like masses on springs, Types of Waves so What is a wave?, spread out in circles called wave fronts, What is a wave? the energy may spread out as a wave travels, energy is the ability to exert a force over a certain distance or to do work, travels through a medium a medium is the matter through which a wave travels, may spread out as a wave travels they spread out in circles, mechanical energy of a vibrating mass-spring system changes form which is simple harmonic motion- a mass bounces up & down or vibrates
