Title | Intro to Waves I: Basics of waves in liquids |
Description | This is a series of three guided activities which will lead the students to understand the basics of energy transfer of waves. First, students use the Waves PHET/water to discover the relationship between energy applied to amplitude, and relationship between frequency and wavelength. The second one builds on the to look at sound as a kind of longitudinal wave with the same mathematical relationships; they also lay the foundation for a later lesson in interference. Finally they apply the same principles while measuring and discussing the wavelengths of various color of visible light to prepare for the upcoming Light chapter. I adapted Lonny Villalobos' format to meet the needs of distance-learning non-science majors but extended it into three longer activities. These students are often short on math skills so these versions are designed to encourage success in mathematical relationships. |
