Big Picture
Vibra<ons in materials set up wavelike disturbances that spread away from the source. Sound and earthquake waves are examples. These and other waves move at different speeds in different materials.
Wave behavior can be described in terms of how fast the disturbance spreads, and in terms of the distance between successive peaks of the disturbance (the wavelength).
The energy of waves (like any form of energy) can be changed into other forms of energy.
Waves can superpose on one another, bend around corners, reflect off surfaces, be absorbed by materials they enter, and change direc<on when entering a new material. All of these effects vary with wavelength.
Light acts like a wave in many ways. And waves can explain how light behaves.
Light from the sun is made up of many different colors of light, even though to the eye the light looks almost white. Something can be “seen” when light waves emiTed or reflected by it enter the eye -­‐-­‐ just as something can be “heard” when sound waves from it enter the ear.
Human eyes respond to only a narrow range of wavelengths of electromagne<c waves -­‐-­‐ visible light. Differences of wavelength within that range are perceived as differences of color.
Accelera<ng electric charges produce electromagne<c waves around them. A great variety of radia<ons are the electromagne<c waves: radio waves, microwaves, radiant heat, visible light, ultraviolet radia<on, x-­‐rays, and gamma rays. These wavelengths vary from radio waves, the longest, to gamma rays, the shortest. In empty space, all electromagne<c waves move at the same speed -­‐-­‐ the “speed of light.”

Key Concept 3: The waves of the electromagne6c spectrum can pass through space.
Key Concept 4: Mechanical waves, such as water waves, seismic waves, and sound waves cannot pass through space; they pass through ma3er.
