3/25 Physics update and homework due 4/1

Hi folks,

Today in physics we got up-close and personal with waves by using ropes and Slinkys to measure frequency, wavelength and velocity of a wave.

Most of the day was activities so there's no recording for this week.

For homework this week:

Navigate to this page http://www.physicsclassroom.com/class/waves and read each of the sections indicated below.
Do all the questions on each one of the pages.
Use Slinky Lab Interactive to do the .pdf that accompanies the activity.

This may work better on some browsers than on others.  I find it works quite well with Google Chrome.

Vibrational Motion
Properties of Periodic Motion
Waves and wavelike motion
What is a wave?
Categories of Waves
Anatomy of a Wave
Frequency and Period of a Wave
Energy Transport and Amplitude of a Wave
Speed of a Wave
The Wave Equation
