After completing this unit, you will be able to:
identify and describe characteristics and behavior of waves
examine and describe oscillatory motion and wave propagation in various types of media
investigate and analyze characteristics of waves, including velocity, frequency, amplitude, and wavelength, and calculate using the relationship between wave speed, frequency, and wavelength
compare characteristics and behaviors of transverse waves, including electromagnetic waves and the electromagnetic spectrum, and characteristics and behaviors of longitudinal waves, including sound waves
investigate behaviors of waves, including reflection, refraction, diffraction, interference, resonance, and the Doppler effect
describe and predict image formation as a consequence of reflection from a plane mirror and refraction through a thin convex lens
