Properties of Waves

Sounds, light, and ocean waves all share common characteristics as waves, which are disturbances that transfer energy from one place to another without moving matter. Waves have specific wavelengths, frequencies, and amplitudes. Mechanical waves, like those in a slinky or on water, require a medium to travel through and come in two main types: longitudinal and transverse. By understanding these properties, we gain insight into how waves impact our daily lives, from the sound of music to the movement of ocean waves, and how scientists use this knowledge to study natural phenomena and develop technology.

Activity 4: Instructional Game. Estimated duration: 24 min

Sonar Sub

In this game, you will use sonar to track marine animals and map treacherous ocean terrain. Between facts about sound waves, you'll encounter whales and dolphins who can help you move on to a quiz section. Show off your wave knowledge and earn bonus points for upgrading your submarine. Be careful, there is dangerous debris in the ocean that can damage your sub!

Activity 5: Video Game. Estimated duration: 4 min

Sound Waves

Sound waves carry energy through materials like air, water, or solids, enabling us to hear sounds from claps to distant music. Unlike light, sound cannot travel through the vacuum of space. Denser materials facilitate faster sound transmission due to tightly packed particles, seen in how marine animals communicate over long distances. Sound waves also diffract around obstacles and interfere with each other, affecting their volume and pitch. Understanding these properties reveals how sound spreads, reflects, and interacts, shaping our daily auditory experiences.
