Wave Effects

Success Criteria

1. Analyse interference patterns using constructive and destructive interference.

2. Use a diffraction grating to analyse light.

3. Apply the diffraction grating equation.

4. Describe spectral lines of various elements, especially hydrogen (this was covered in more detail in PHY 3.5).

5. Explain the Doppler effect using wave theory.

6. Calculate the observed frequency or wavelength of light and sound through the Doppler shift.

7. Discuss applications of the Doppler effect.
