Third Quarter – Module 3
Waves: Carriers of Energy
Have you ever wondered how waves behave? This module will help you
understand the characteristics of a wave and properties of sound wave that can
be transmitted through energy. It will also give us thoughts on its special role in
the physical world. Come and join us as we unfold the mysteries of waves as
energy carriers.
This module was designed to provide you with fun and meaningful
opportunities for guided and independent learning at your own pace and time.
You will enable to process the contents of the learning resource while being an
active learner.
What I Need to Know This gives you an idea of the skills you are
expected to learn in the module.
iv
Assessment This is a task which aims to evaluate your
level of mastery in achieving the learning
competency.
1. Use the module with care. Do not put unnecessary mark/s on any part
of the module. Use your Science activity notebook in answering the
exercises.
2. Don’t forget to answer What I Know before moving on to the other
activities included in the module.
3. Read the instructions carefully before doing each task.
4. Observe honesty and integrity in doing the tasks and in checking your
answers.
5. Finish the task at hand before proceeding to the next.
6. Return this module to your teacher/facilitator once you are through with
it.

What I Need to Know
When you throw a stone into a lake, water waves spread out from the
splash. When you strum the strings of a guitar, sound waves carry the noise all
around you. When you switch on a lamp, light waves spread all over the room.
Water, sound, and light waves differ in some ways but they all share the basic
characteristics of a wave motion.
This module is designed and written with you in mind. It is here to help
you master the characteristics of waves. The scope of this module permits it to
be used in many different learning situations. The language used recognizes
the diverse vocabulary level of students. The lessons are arranged to follow the
standard sequence of the course.
After going through this Self-Learning Module, you should be able to:
infer that waves carry energy (S7LT-IIIc-4); and
describe the characteristics of sound using the concepts of wavelength,
velocity, and amplitude (S7LT-IIId-7).

In a longitudinal wave, compression is a point where the coils are
close together or has the maximum density. A rarefaction is a point in the
spring where the coils are spread out or has minimum density. Consider the
diagram below.

4. Frequency (𝑓) - refers to the number of crests or waves that pass a
fixed point per second. It is measured in Hertz (Hz), named after German
Physicist Heinrich Hertz. One Hertz is equal to one wave per second
(1/s). The formula is given below:

Properties of Sound
11
Pitch
The human ear can only sense within the frequency range of 20 Hertz
(Hz) to 20,000 Hertz. Vibrational frequencies beyond 20,000 Hz is called
ultrasonic frequencies while extremely low frequencies are known as
infrasonic frequencies. On the other hand, animals like dogs can hear sounds
as high as 50,000 Hz while bats can detect as high as 100,000 Hz.
Loudness
12
refers to the amount of energy. Table 1 shows varying intensity of sound. Sound
intensity is measured by various instruments like the oscilloscope.
The unit of intensity level for sound is the decibel (dB), which was named
after Alexander Graham Bell who invented the telephone. On the decibel scale,
an increase of 1 dB means that sound intensity is increased by a factor of 10.
A logarithmic scale is used to describe sound intensity, which roughly
corresponds to loudness.
Timbre
13
Any sound consists of more than one frequency and most of these
additional frequencies are known as harmonics. For sound to possess timbre,
it must have one fundamental frequency and seven or more additional
harmonics. The following are the characteristics of timbre: dull, cold, rich,
delicate, thick, thin, heavy, clean, nasal and light. Noise is a sound wave that is
distorted and not pleasing to the senses.

6. Pluck or abruptly pull and release each rubber band again. Is the sound
produced still the same?
7. Record your observations in table 2 and compare the sound it produces.
Questions:
1. Does increasing the number of rubber band affect the pitch produced in the
sounding box? How?
2. Compare the sound produced using 4 rubber bands with and without the
bridge/stick in place. What change does the stick make on the sound
produced?
