Objective/s:
1. Model mechanical and electromagnetic waves, and transverse and longitudinal
waves.
2. Describe the parts of a wave.
3. Explain the relationship between frequency, wavelength, and amplitude.
ACTIVITY 1: WORD HUNT
DIRECTION: Using the word chart below, search for at least 10 words related to
the lesson WAVES.
Key to Correction
ACTIVITY 2.: MYSTERY WORD
DIRECTION: Arrange the jumbled letters to form the word that corresponds to its
description.
VRETSRSANE EWVA
Hint: It is a wave in which the direction of the wave's propagation is perpendicular to
the direction of the particles displacement
ECMAHLINAC EVAW
Hint: It is the wave which propagates only in a material or medium.
ALNIDUTGLONI WVEA
Hint: A mechanical wave whose particle displacement is parallel to the direction of the
wave’s propagation.
LROCGTNEAMECITE EAVW
Hint: It is a wave which does not necessary requires a material medium for its
propagation and own also travel through a vacuum.
REPCMOSISNO
Hint: The part of longitudinal wave in which density of the particles of the medium is
higher than the normal density.
ACTIVITY 2: MYSTERY WORD
1. TRANSVERSE WAVE
2. MECHANICAL WAVE
3. LONGITUDINAL WAVE
4. ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVE
COMPRESSION
Waves transfer energy. Most waves are caused by vibrations or a disturbance of
matter. Waves transfer energy from one place to another, they can do work, and they
can also move objects.
All waves can be categorized as either mechanical or electromagnetic. Let us
compare and contrast the two.

ACTIVITY 5: LABEL THE PARTS
DIRECTIONS: Label the numbered part of a wave shown in the diagrams.
ACTIVITY 5: LABEL THE PARTS
1. amplitude
2. wavelength
3. compression
4. crest
5. amplitude
6. trough
7. wavelength
Energy from the sun reaches the earth through electromagnetic waves.
Electromagnetic waves require no material medium for their passage. Thus, they can
pass through empty space.
The electromagnetic spectrum shows the various types of electromagnetic
waves, the range of their frequencies and wavelength.
Electromagnetic waves are invisible forms of energy that travel
through the universe. However, you can "see" some of the results of
this energy. The light that our eyes can see is actually part of the
electromagnetic spectrum.
• Normal, white light is actually made up of a rainbow of different colors, from red
and orange to blue and purple. There are many other "colors" of light that we
cannot see. These include ultraviolet (UV) and infrared (IR) "light" that is just
beyond the range of human vision. They also include more exotic forms of
radiation such as X-rays, gamma rays, and radio waves. Together, all of these
different "colors" of light are called the electromagnetic spectrum, or EM
spectrum for short.
Frequency is the number of waves that pass a given point in a certain amount of time.
It is measured in Hertz (Hz).
Wavelength (λ)-The distance from any point on one wave to a corresponding point on
an adjacent wave. Usually crest to crest or trough to trough
Frequency (f)-the number of waves that pass through a point in one second (rate).
Unit= Herts (Hz) =1 wave/sec
Wavelength and frequency are inversely related
High frequency= short wavelengths
Low frequency= long Wavelengths.
The greater the number of waves per second, the higher the frequency -- the more energy
carried by the wave.
The smaller the wavelength. the more times it will pass through a point in one second.
The larger the wavelength. the fewer times it will pass through a point in one second.
How are frequency, speed, and wavelength related?
Frequency and wavelength are inversely related.
Formula: V= λ x f F = v/ λ
Solution:
f = 12 m/s/3 m = 4 x 1/s
Answer:
f= 4 Hz

velocity.
