I can identify transverse and longitudinal waves in mechanical media, such as
springs and ropes, and on the earth (seismic waves).
I can identify compression and rarefaction of a longitudinal wave
I can draw and identify the parts of a wave including the crest, trough,
amplitude, wavelength and frequency
I can calculate the speed of a wave
I know how the amplitude and frequency effect the energy of a wave
I know that sound is a longitudinal wave whose speed depends on the
properties of the medium in which it propagates.
I know that radio waves, light, and X-rays are different wavelength bands in
the spectrum of electromagnetic waves whose speed in a vacuum is
approximately 3 x 108 m/s (186,000 miles/second).
I know how to how to identify the characteristic properties of waves:
interference (beats), diffraction, refraction, Doppler effect, and polarization.
I can compare and contrast constructive and destructive interference
I can compare and contrast reflection and refraction
I can identify and describe the following terms: speed, intensity, loudness,
frequency and pitch
I know that sound intensity levels are measured in units called decibels.
I know the ranges of sound, in decibels, that are harmful to the ears.
I know how ultrasound is used
I know how the Doppler effect works
I know how a sound wave travels through the air and is converted into “sound”
in the ear
I know the anatomy of the ear
I can label the anatomy of an electromagnetic wave and how they are
produced.
I know that electromagnetic can travel in a vacuum and don’t need a medium
I can calculate the wave speed of electromagnetic waves
I know how polarized light works.
