1.

watch the following video on the properties of waves Do you have any questions?

Asemmisa {{asɛmmisaAhyɛnsode}}
2.

The amplitude of a wave tells you how

3.

A mechanical wave requires a medium. For an ocean wave this medium would be

Asemmisa {{asɛmmisaAhyɛnsode}}
4.

The medium for a sound wave would be

Asemmisa {{asɛmmisaAhyɛnsode}}
5.

All mechanical waves have amplitude, wavelength, period, and wave speed. Look in the area between the arrow to the word elevation and the aline showing amplitude. How many cycles of the wave is show here?

6.

Frequency is the number of full cycles (crest to crest) a wave passes in a second. The unit, a hz, can be converted to what SI unit?

Asemmisa {{asɛmmisaAhyɛnsode}}
7.

Read section 3.1-3.2 in your book - Properties of light and the electromagnetic spectrum. Do you have any questions

Asemmisa {{asɛmmisaAhyɛnsode}}
8.

c=2.99792458 x 10^8 m/s This is specifically

9.

The amplitude of a light wave tells you

Asemmisa {{asɛmmisaAhyɛnsode}}
10.

Define white light

Asemmisa {{asɛmmisaAhyɛnsode}}
11.

Of the following, which carries the most energy?

Asemmisa {{asɛmmisaAhyɛnsode}}
12.

you were given two equations ---> E = hc/ʎ and c= ʎv In both these equations ʎ stands for

Asemmisa {{asɛmmisaAhyɛnsode}}
13.

because c is constant for the speed of light, wavelength and frequency are considered

Asemmisa {{asɛmmisaAhyɛnsode}}
14.

Give a definition for the term blackbody
