II. OBJECTIVES
To develop e-content on the topic wave motion
To understand the concept of wave motion
To understand the idea of different types of waves.
To understand the longitudinal wave and transverse wave its
characteristics.

III. TOPIC.






TYPES TYPES

















Wave Motion
wave motion is the propagation of
disturbance from the point of a medium
to the other parts of it

Transverse Wave
A transverse wave is a wave in which the
particles of the medium vibrate perpendicular
to the direction of propagation of the wave.
Longitudinal Wave
A longitudinal wave is a wave in which the
particles of the medium vibrate in a direction
parallel to the direction of propagation of the
wave.
1. The particles in the medium vibrate at light
angles to the direction of propagation of
waves.
2. Form crust and troughs in the medium.
3. There is no pressure variation anywhere in
the medium.
4. Transerverse waves can be polarized.

1. The particles vibrate parallel to the
direction of propagation of wave.
2. Form a series of compressed regions and
rarefied regions.
3. The pressure and density is maximum at
compressed regions and minimum at rarefied
regions.
4. Logitudinal waves cannot be polarized.

IV. E-Content Analysis
Terms: Wave motion, Transverse wave, longitudinal wave.
FACTS:
i) Substance floating on the surface of water does not move along with the
wave.
ii) The waves that we see on the surface of water are transverse waves.
iii) The transverse waves have no translator motion.
iv) Sound waves are longitudinal waves.
v) A vibrating turning fork creates longitudinal waves in air.

V. CONCEPTS
1. WAVE MOTION: Wave motion transfers energy from one point to
another, often with no permanent displacement of the particles of the
mediumthat is, with little or no associated mass transport.

2. TRANSVERSE WAVE: For transverse wave the displacement of the
medium is perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave. A ripple
on a pond and a wave on a string are easily visualized transverse waves.
Transverse wave cannot propagate in a gas or a liquid because there is no
mechanism for driving motion perpendicular to the propagation of the wave.


3. LONGITUDINAL WAVE: In longitudinal waves the displacement of the
medium is parallel to the propagation of the wave. A wave in a slinky is a
good visualization .Sound waves in air are longitudinal waves.

Summary:
Waves can transmit energy from one point of a medium to the other
parts without the actual translator motion of particle in the medium. They
undergo only vibration. The transmission of energy in this manner is a wave
motion. There are two types of wave motions; they are transverse waves and
longitudinal waves. The thermocol balls move up and down on the surface of
water they have no lateral motion. The balls move in a direction perpendicular
to the direction of motion of the waves. Waves are formed due to some
disturbance in so cases the particles in the medium move in a direction
perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the waves. The waves that we
see on the surface of water are transverse waves. In longitudinal waves, the
particles vibrate in a direction parallel to the direction of propagation of the
wave. sound waves are longitudinal waves , a device known as turning fork is
used to do experiments in sound. Thus the e-content can be conveyed very early
and clearly to the students it will definitely motivated them to learn by during
the wide scope of e-content, we can make the teaching- learning process more
effective.
