Sound Unit
Goals
1. Explain what a wave is.
2. Differentiate between longitudinal and transverse waves
3. Correctly use the vocabulary: medium, pulse, crest, trough, compression, and rarefaction.
4. Define and apply the following wave characteristics: period, frequency, velocity, wavelength, amplitude, and energy.
5. Apply the following relationships: T=1/f and v =f*wavelength.
6. Explain how standing waves are produced and correctly use the terms nodes and antinodes.
7. Explain the following wave behaviors, interference, beats, resonance, doppler effect and sonic booms.
Key dates:
Online Homework : due monday evening 2/14
Speed of sound lab : performed 2/10. due: negotiable, but probably 2/18
Test 2/19. Class 2/18 will not be a review day, but instead a lab day for the next unit.
