Electromagnetic Waves Notes
Properties of Waves- Ticket out the Door
Use your Senteo to answer the following questions:
The Big Bang Theory - Doppler Effect
Sheldon's explanation of the Doppler Effect.
The Doppler Effect
Watch the Doppler Effect video below. Then, explain and model the process in terms of changes in the sound waves in your notes.
Speed of Sound & Light through Different Mediums
Click on the Speed of Sound button to read more about the speed of sound through different mediums. Through which media does sound travel fastest? Does temperature of the media play a role in the speed?
Click on the Speed of Light button to read more about the speed of light through different mediums. Do all light waves travel at the same speed? Is there a change in speed when it enters a different medium? If so, what occurs as it changes from a vacuum to gas, from gas to liquid, and from a liquid to solid?
Phenomena: Bat Sense
This stunning slow motion footage shows how bats use echolocation to find water. We know how bats echolocate to hunt insects, but this is the first study to show how they recognize large, flat objects like ponds. Moreover, by testing young bats that had never encountered a pond or river before, the researchers showed that bats seem to have a built-in ability to recognize these important features of their environment.
Behavior of Waves Video
Watch the following video and then review the powerpoint notes on the phenomena of reflection, refraction, interference, and diffraction.
