Characteristics of Waves
1. Show the students as to what are the different characteristics of waves. Give example to each and
let some students answer some of the problems.
Wavelength (λ) – it is the distance between the consecutive corresponding points of a
wave (e.g. crest to next crest, through to next through). Unit: Meter (m)
Amplitude (A) – it is the distance between the equilibrium point of the wave and the
crest or through.
Frequency (f) – the number of occurrences of a repeating event per unit time. Unit: Hertz
(Hz) or cycles per second.
Period (T) – The interval of time between successive occurrences of a cyclic
phenomenon. Unit Second (s).
Speed (v) – the distance travel of waves per unit time. Unit: m/s. Tell the student of fun
facts of what is the average speed of light, mechanical waves with an air, water, or solid
medium.
Group 4: Roll a cardboard into a cone and use it as a megaphone. Make 2 megaphones
one with a bigger cone and one with a smaller cone. Speak at the end with the smaller
opening. Which megaphone will produce a louder sound? Share your observations.
Group 5: Given 2 shirts one white and the other one black. Which color of shirt is more
appropriate to use during a hot summer day?
Group 6: Fill the glass with water and place the cards at the side of the glass. Make sure
to face the side with labels directly to the glass. Look at the image that was produced.
Discuss your observations.
2. Discuss with the learners in detail as what happened to each activity for each group. Enumerate all
the behavior of waves when they interact with matter.
Reflection – occurs when a wave bounces back when it hits a smooth surface. Example:
skills #2 an image is seen in a smooth surface because light bounced from the surface to your
eyes.
Refraction – is the bending of light due to the change in its speed when it obliquely
passes two different media. Example: A straw placed in a glass with water appears bent
in certain angles, and Group 6 activity
Transmission – is the passing of light through a material without being absorbed
Example: Group 2’s activity
Absorption – occurs when a wave strikes a material and the energy that it carries are
absorbed by the atoms of the material and is converted into thermal energy. Example: A
black object absorbs all wavelenghts, and group 5’s activity (absorbed electromagnetic
waves can produce thermal energy; Integration: derive equation E = hv)
Diffraction – the slight bending of light as it passes around the edge of an object.
Example: waves can pass through a small opening, activity of group 4)
Scattering – occurs when light or other energy waves pass through an imperfect medium
(such as air filled with particles of some sort) and are deflected from a straight
path. Example: The sky is blue because the blue wavelength is scattered in the earth’s
atmosphere when it hits N2, O2 and other molecules present. Activity of Group 3
Have each group draw and illustration of how light interacts with matter. Provide card boards and markers to
each groups.
F. Developing mastery Group 1: Reflection.
Group 2: Refraction.
(leads to Formative Group 3. Transmission.
Assessment 3) Group 4: Absorption.
Group 5: Diffraction.
Group 6: Scattering.
G. Finding practical
Understanding a wave and its behavior contributes to our knowledge and makes us appreciate the universe
applications of
and life. It also helps us in providing fun facts to our friends and/or to our families so that they will also be
concepts and skills amazed of the science of each thing or events.

and abstractions about
the discussion and activities on a one half sheet of paper.

Quiz
On a one half sheet of paper let the students answer the following:
I. Evaluating learning 1. Cite 4 examples of waves (e.g. water, sound, light, string).
2. Define mechanical and electromagnetic waves.
3. Describe what happens when a wave is reflected, refracted, transmitted, diffracted, scattered and
absorbed.
