Lesson 2 - Wave Characteristics
Lesson 2 - Wave Characteristics
In Lesson 2, we will look at the characteristics of waves, including: wavelength, amplitude, period/frequency, and, of course, the wave equation!
We'll be working through the Student Notes up through page 14.
When finished with the student notes, you should read about Wave Speed, and complete the practice questions in the lower right hand corner (green button).
Lesson 3 - Wave Effects
Lesson 3 - Wave Effects
In this lesson, we will explore some fundamental characteristics of waves: reflection, refraction, and diffraction.
The Ray Optics Simulation will be used to investigate reflection, while the Phet Bending Light simulation will handle refraction. The Falstad Ripple Tank Simulator will be used to explain diffraction.

Lesson 4 - Analyzing Sounds
Lesson 4 - Analyzing Sounds
For today's lesson, we will be investigating sounds: how they are produced and what the waves actually look like. In order to accomplish this feat, you will need to install Audacity, a free, open-source sound editor available on all platforms: https://www.audacityteam.org/download/
After you've installed the app, click on the investigation to start the lesson. You will need to make a copy of the document to fill in as you go.
Homework: P130-133 in your textbook.
