Monday, November 16 th Entry Task Blast from the past!!! What are the two kinds of earthquake waves you learned about last year? Please have on desk: Journal, sharpened pencilJournal, sharpened pencil Homework: Read pages Read pages Objective: I will compare and contrast transverse waves and longitudinal waves Schedule: 15.1 Notes15.1 Notes 15.1 RSG15.1 RSG
Transverse Wave Direction of Force is Perpendicular to Direction of Wave Example: Electromagnetic Waves; Earthquake Waves (S – Waves only) Force Energy (Wave)
Longitudinal Wave Direction of Force is same as Direction of Wave Example: Sound Wave; Earthquake Waves (P – Waves only) Force Energy (Wave)
Ocean Wave Combination of Transverse and Longitudinal Direction of Force is in a circle; Direction of Wave is horizontal Force Energy (Wave)
Tuesday, November 17 th Entry Task What are 2 similarities of transverse and longitudinal waves? Schedule: 15.1 Quiz15.1 Quiz Computer App Session 9Computer App Session 9 Homework: Read 15.2Read 15.2 Objective: I will choose a Physics Simulation project
Wednesday, November 18 th Entry Task What are the two areas that make up a longitudinal wave called? Please have on desk: Pencil and journalPencil and journal Homework: Read 15.2Read 15.2 Objective: I will reinforce my understanding of waves. Schedule: Bill Nye “Waves”Bill Nye “Waves”
Thursday, November 19 th Entry Task Explain how all mechanical waves are similarExplain how all mechanical waves are similarSchedule: Waves have measurable propertiesWaves have measurable properties Homework Output pageOutput page 15.2 Quiz Monday15.2 Quiz Monday Objective: I will calculate a wave’s speed, frequency, and wavelength Please Have on Desk: Journal, sharpened pencilJournal, sharpened pencil
15.2 Notes Waves have Measurable Properties Waves have measurable properties like height and speed. The CREST is the highest point of a wave. The TROUGH is the wave’s lowest point
AMPLITUDE - the distance between a wave’s resting point and the crest or trough Amplitude indicates how much energy a wave is carrying. WAVELENGTH- the distance from one CREST to the next CREST Notes Waves have Measurable Properties
FREQUENCY- Number of CRESTS (or troughs) that pass a given point every second. WAVES have measurable properties Notes Waves have Measurable Properties
Friday, November 20 th Entry Task What is the speed of a wave that has a frequency of 45 Hz and a wavelength of 3 meters? Write the formula, show your work with units and answer with units. Schedule: Investigate Frequency LabInvestigate Frequency Lab Objective: I can investigate the relationship between frequency and wavelength I can investigate the relationship between frequency and wavelength Homework Re-read 15.1 and 15.2Re-read 15.1 and 15.2 Please have on Desk: pencil, journalpencil, journal
