Expectations

  • SPS9.a

    Analyze and interpret data to identify the relationships among wavelength, frequency, and energy in electromagnetic waves and amplitude and energy in mechanical waves.

  • SPS9.b

    Ask questions to compare and contrast the characteristics of electromagnetic and mechanical waves.

  • SPS9.c

    Develop models based on experimental evidence that illustrate the phenomena of reflection, refraction, interference, and diffraction.

  • SPS9.d

    Analyze and interpret data to explain how different media affect the speed of sound and light waves.

  • SPS9.e

    Develop and use models to explain the changes in sound waves associated with the Doppler Effect.
