Waves
Broad Concept: Waves carry energy from place to place without the transfer of matter.
| 4.1 | Differentiate between wave motion (simple harmonic nonlinear motion) and the motion of objects (nonharmonic).* |
| 4.2 | Recognize the measurable properties of waves (e.g., velocity, frequency, wavelength) and explain the relationships among them. * |
| 4.3 | Distinguish between transverse and longitudinal waves. |
| 4.4 | Distinguish between mechanical and electromagnetic waves. * |
| 4.5 | Interpret and be able to apply the laws of reflection and refraction (qualitatively) to all waves. |
| 4.6 | Recognize the effects of polarization, wave interaction, and the Doppler effect. |
| 4.7 | Explain, graph, and interpret graphs of constructive and destructive interference of waves. |
| 4.8 | Explain the relationship between the speed of a wave (e.g., sound) and the medium it travels through. |
| 4.9 | Recognize the characteristics of a standing wave and explain the conditions under which two waves on a string or in a pipe can interfere to produce a standing wave. |
