are different wavelength bands in the spectrum of
electromagnetic waves whose speed in a vacuum is
approximately 3 × 108 m/s (186,000 miles/second).

(beats), diffraction, refraction, Doppler effect, and

Objective Understand the differences between

Identify the processes of waves interacting; Such as
Interference, Polarization, Refraction, Diffraction
and the Doppler Effect
Language objective To use the distinct regions of
the spectrum correctly, radio, microwave, infrared, visible, ultraviolet, X-ray, and gamma ray waves. Students
can use the wavelength and frequency to describe a particular wave type. Understand the main difference
between constructive and destructive interference. Explain how waves interact with other waves and materials
using the terms, polarized, Doppler shifted, red-shift, blue-shift, normal and surface plain.
Standard Physics 4- Waves have characteristic properties that do not depend on the type of wave. As a basis for
understanding this concept:
PH 4. e. Students know radio waves, light, and X-rays are different wavelength bands in the spectrum of
8
electromagnetic waves whose speed in a vacuum is approximately 3 × 10 m/s (186,000 miles/second).
Electromagnetic waves consist of changing electric and magnetic fields. Because these fields are always
perpendicular to the direction in which a wave moves, an electromagnetic wave is a transverse wave. The
electric and magnetic fields are also always perpendicular to each other. Concepts of electric and magnetic
fields are introduced in Standard Set 5, “Electric and Magnetic Phenomena,” in this section. The range of
wavelengths for electromagnetic waves is very large, from less than nanometers (nm) for X-rays to more than
kilometers for radio waves. The human eye senses only the narrow range of the electromagnetic spectrum from
400 nm to 700 nm. This range generates the sensation of the rainbow of colors from violet through the
8
respective colors to red. In a vacuum all electromagnetic waves travel at the same speed of 3 × 10 m/s (or
186,000 miles per second). In a medium the speed of an electromagnetic wave depends on the medium’s
properties and on the frequency of the wave. The ratio of the speed of a wave of a given frequency in a vacuum
to its speed in a medium is called that medium’s index of refraction. For visible light in water, this number
is approximately 1.33.

PH 4. f. Students know how to identify the characteristic properties of waves: interference (beats),
diffraction, refraction, Doppler effect, and polarization.
A characteristic and unique property of waves is that two or more can occupy the same region of space at the
same time. At a particular instant, the crest of one wave can overlap the crest of another, giving a larger
displacement of the medium from its condition of equilibrium; constructive interference. Also the crest of
one wave can overlap the trough of another, giving a smaller displacement; destructive interference. The
effect of two or more waves on a test particle is that the net force on the particle is the algebraic sum of the
forces exerted by the various waves acting at that point. If two overlapping waves traveling in opposite
directions have the same frequency, the result is a standing wave. There is a persistent pattern of having no
displacement in some places, called nulls or nodes, and large, oscillating displacements in others, called
maxima or antinodes. If two overlapping waves have nearly the same frequency, a node will slowly change
to a maximum and back to a node, and a maximum will slowly change to a node and back to a maximum. For
sound waves this periodic change leads to audible, periodic changes from loud to soft, known as beats.
Diffraction describes the constructive and destructive patterns of waves created at the edges of objects.
Diffraction can cause waves to bend around an obstacle or to spread as they pass through an aperture. The
nature of the diffraction patterns of a wave interacting with an object depends on the ratio of the size of the
obstacle to the wavelength. If this ratio is large, the shadows are nearly sharp; if it is small, the shadows may be
fuzzy or not appear at all. Therefore, a hand can block a ray of light, whose average wavelength is about 500
nm, but cannot block an audible sound, whose average wavelength is about 100 cm. The bending of water
waves around a post and the diffraction of light waves when passing through a slit in a screen are examples of
diffraction patterns. Refraction describes a change in the direction of a wave that occurs when the wave
encounters a boundary between one medium and another provided that the media have either different wave
velocities or indexes of refraction and provided that the wave arrives at some angle to the boundary other than
perpendicular. At a sharp boundary, the change in direction is abrupt; however, if the transition from one
medium to another is gradual, so that the velocity of the wave changes slowly, then the change in the wave’s
direction is also gradual. Therefore, a ray of light that passes obliquely from air to water changes its direction at
the water’s surface, but a ray that travels through air that has a temperature gradient will follow a bent path. A
ray of light passing through a saturated solution of sugar (sucrose) and water, which has an index of refraction
of 1.49, will not change direction appreciably on entering a colorless, transparent piece of quartz submersed in
the solution because the quartz has an almost identical index of 1.51. The match in indexes makes the quartz
nearly invisible in the sugar-water solution. Another interesting phenomenon, the Doppler Effect, accounts
for the shift in the frequency of a wave when a wave source and an observer are in motion relative to each other
compared with when they are at relative rest. This effect is most easily understood when the source is at rest in
some medium and the observer is approaching the source at constant speed. The interval in time between each
successive wave crest is shorter than it would be if the observer were at rest, and so the frequency observed is
larger. The general rule, for observers moving at velocities much less than the velocity of the wave in its
medium, is that the change in frequency depends only on the velocity of the observer relative to the source.
Therefore, the shriek of an ambulance siren has a higher pitch when the source approaches and a lower pitch
when the source recedes. For an observer following the ambulance at the same speed, the siren would sound
normal. Similar shifts are observed for visible light. Polarization is a property of light and of other transverse
waves. Transverse waves are those in which the displacement of a test particle is always perpendicular to the
direction in which the wave travels. When that displacement is always parallel to a particular direction, the
wave is said to be (linearly) polarized. A ray of light emitted from a hot object, like a lamp filament or the
sun, is un-polarized; such a ray consists of many component waves overlapped so that there is no special
direction perpendicular to the ray in which a test particle is favored to move. The components of an unpolarized ray can be sorted to select such a special direction and so make one or more polarized rays. An unpolarized ray that is partly reflected and partly transmitted by an angled sheet of glass is split into rays that are
polarized; an un-polarized ray can become polarized by going through a material that allows only waves
corresponding to one special direction to pass through.
