OBJECTIVES
 Qualitatively describe the shift in frequency in sound or
electromagnetic waves.(Doppler effect)
 Analyze sound interactions at boundaries. (reflection,
refraction, diffraction, and absorption)
 Explain how factors like temperature and pressure affect
the behavior of sound waves.
 Describe the properties of light.
 Recognize that nothing travels faster than the speed of
light in vacuum.
 Describe waves included in the electromagnetic
spectrum in terms of energy, frequency, and
wavelength.
 Apply knowledge of the behavior of light to explain why
plants have certain colors.
 Compare and contrast the interactions of light and
matter.
 Solve frequency, wavelength and energy problems.
