Material Covered on Tuesday, March 16th

For those of you abscent on Tuesday, March 16th, the following was covered.
  1. Wave concepts were reviewed and refined. This included the relationship between wavelength and frequency (inverse) and the product of the two values being the velocity of a wave.
  2. We discussed light as a wave and demonstrations were offered to offer support that light travels as a wave, and thus follows all of the criteria of a mechanical wave (i.e. - a wave traveling through a spring).
  3. The relationship between frequency of a wave and enerygy was developed. The higher the frequency of a wave, the higher the energy.

All material covered is in the notes package (Power Point presentation) given out.
