Physical Science 20 - June 2

Sorry I haven't posted in a while again.  Things are catching up to me at the end of the year and I have been neglecting the website. Earlier this week, students began looking at wave properties with an activity that used slinkies. THis was on a handout called the wave properties activity and you received it with the handouts you picked up on last week. 

Students who were absent during this activity can use this handout so work through the activity.  Go to this website http://surendranath.tripod.com/Applets.html and click on the link for HTML5 Animations.  Follow through the handout and answer the questions using the simulations on that website.

Yesterday we learned about the universal wave equation.  This equation applies to all waves and is pretty simple to use.  The notes we took today we covered on slides 135-140.  Students were assigned Homework 5.2 and Assignment 5.1 today.  We will take up Homework 5.2 tomorrow and Assignment 5.1 will be handed in tomorrow.  Tomorrow we will look at the interference of waves.
