Waves and Beyond
We are starting our next unit on waves. In this unit we will be covering many areas within waves. Topics will include sound, the electromagnetic spectrum, light, wave parts, reflection, refraction and mirrors. Our main project we will be working on a live theater performance for De dia Los Muertos in Old Town Chula Vista. Below are the notes for the wave unit. At the bottom is the link to worksheets, notes and other class items. Waves are in multiple aspects of our lives. From Sound to Ocean Waves, Light and Radiation transverse and longitudinal waves surround us. We will be creating PVC Pipe Instruments based on wave calculations. Here is a playlist to inspire you! The First Wave Lab Use this worksheet to fill in for your first look at exploring waves and their behaviors. Complete the Doing the Waves Worksheet: Doing the Waves WKST This is the theater lighting notes for physics combined in theater lighting, color, absorption, reflection and refraction: Presentation on Theater Lighting, Waves and Optics Note Guide for Theater Lights Packet with the presentation. Do You See the Light Wave Online Activity Click on the website links below corresponding the number on the worksheet.
PhET Color Vision Lab Click on the link to open the virtual lab-http://phet.colorado.edu/en/simulation/color-vision * Once you open it, select the green "run Now" button and "keep" button* Follow the instructions on the ColorVisionLab word document at the bottom of the page Now Calculating the Colors! By knowing either the frequency or wavelength you can calculate the color spectrum of waves. Use the worksheet below to help you practice your calculations. Don't forget that light is in the Electromagnetic Spectrum, so the velocity will always be equal to 3 x 108 m/s. Calculating Colors WKST |

What is SOUND???
Can you hear me now? Follow this link to the YouTube Sound playlist. There is a collection of short videos explaining sound, sound effects the physics of sound and how it enhances performances. Watch and learn...

Sound
Sound is made up of longitudinal waves that travel through different medium. The speed of sound depends on the temperature of the medium it travels through. Below are the power point notes, homework and note guides for our unit.

Creating PVC Instruments
As groups begin to initial stages of assembly, you will need the Open and Closed Pipe Harmonics Sheet to determine the lengths of your pipes, cuts and assembly.
