Name: Class Period: Instructions: A) Provide answers to questions marked with an *. Section 1- Properties of waves http://www.physicsclassroom.com/Class/waves/u10l1c.cfm *1) What is a transverse wave? http://www.physicsclassroom.com/mmedia/waves/em.cfm *2) How are electromagnetic waves different from mechanical waves? *3) How are electromagnetic waves created? *4) What are the two components of an electromagentic wave? *5) When electromagnetic waves are moving through a medium, which part of the atoms of the medium absorb energy, vibrate and produce new waves of the same frequency? http://id.mind.net/~zona/mstm/physics/waves/introduction/introductionWaves.html *6) What is the amplitude of a wave? *7) What is the wavelength of a wave? http://www.classzone.com/books/ml_science_share/vis_sim/wslm05_pg18_graph/wslm05_pg18_graph.html 8) Set the amplitude to the lowest setting (far left), 9) Make a wave with the lowest frequency setting. Observe the wavelength of the wave formed. 10) Make a wave with the highest frequency setting. Observe the wavelength of the wave formed. *11) What happens to the wavelength when frequency is increased? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Section 2- Reflection http://micro.magnet.fsu.edu/primer/java/reflection/reflectionangles/index.html *12) What is the relationship between the incident (incoming) angle of light and the reflected angle of light? *13) Does changing the wavelength of the reflected light change the relationship between the incident angle and the reflected angle? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Section 3- Refraction
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Section 4- Diffraction
http://micro.magnet.fsu.edu/primer/java/diffraction/basicdiffraction/index.html 18) Change the size of the aperture. *19) Do smaller or larger apertures cause waves to bend more? 20) Change the wavelength of the wave passing through the aperture. *21) Do all wavelengths of light bend at the same angle? *22) Which wavelengths tend to bend the most? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Section 5- Wave interference Go to the Wave Interference Powerpoint on the class webpage. *23) When does the new wave formed have the highest amplitude? *24) When do the two waves cancel each other out? *25) How can you tell if destructive interference is taking place between the two waves? *26) How can you tell if constructive interference is taking place between the two waves? http://www.colorado.edu/physics/2000/schroedinger/ 27) Go to the “Interfering Waves” section and watch the movie. Look for the bands that indicate destructive interference. Section 6- Polarized and unpolarized light Go to the Polarized Light Powerpoint on the class webpage. *28) What is unpolarized light? *29) How does a polarizing filter work? http://micro.magnet.fsu.edu/primer/java/polarizedlight/3dpolarized/index.html 30) Test different polarizer alignments. *31) Which alignments allow the most light to pass through? *32) Which alignments allow the least light to pass through? Section 7- Doppler Effect http://www.kettering.edu/~drussell/Demos/doppler/doppler.html *33) What causes the shift in frequency and wavelength of waves known as the Doppler Effect?
*34) What would cause electromagnetic radiation to be blueshifted as it moves towards you? *35) What would cause electromagnetic radiation to be redshifted as it moves away from you?
