Expectations

SP4.a
Develop and use mathematical models to explain mechanical and electromagnetic waves as a propagating disturbance that transfers energy.
SP4.b
Develop and use models to describe and calculate characteristics related to the interference and diffraction of waves (single and double slits).
SP4.c
Construct an argument that analyzes the production and characteristics of sounds waves.
SP4.d
Plan and carry out investigations to characterize the properties and behavior of electromagnetic waves.
SP4.e
Plan and carry out investigations to describe common features of light in terms of color, polarization, spectral composition, and wave speed in transparent media.
- Analyze experimentally and mathematically aspects of reflection and refraction of light waves and describe the results using optical ray diagrams.
- Perform calculations related to reflections from plane surfaces and focusing using thin lenses.
SP4.f
Plan and carry out investigations to identify the behavior of light using lenses.
SP4.g
Plan and carry out investigations to describe changes in diffraction patterns associated with geometry and wavelength for mechanical and electromagnetic waves.
