Learning Goal: I can
- ...compare and contrast the characteristics of both a vibration and a wave.
- ...distinguish between a transverse wave and a longitudinal wave, and identify the identifying characteristics of each.
- ...distinguish between constructive and destructive interference.
- ...describe what factors may affect the speed of a wave.
- ...describe a standing wave and how it occurs.
- ...describe the Doppler Effect.
Today: Standing Waves: These are the terms and ideas you need to become familiar with
- Resonance
- Nodes
- Antinodes
- Fundamental frequency = 1st harmonic, 2nd Harmonic, etc.
- What happens to the frequency to create higher harmonics?
- What happens to the wavelength at high harmonics?
