SPS9Properties of Waves
Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information to explain the properties of waves.
Appears in: Science, High School
Expectations
SPS9.aAnalyze and interpret data to identify the relationships among wavelength, frequency, and energy in electromagnetic waves and amplitude and energy in mechanical waves.
SPS9.bAsk questions to compare and contrast the characteristics of electromagnetic and mechanical waves.
SPS9.cDevelop models based on experimental evidence that illustrate the phenomena of reflection, refraction, interference, and diffraction.
SPS9.dAnalyze and interpret data to explain how different media affect the speed of sound and light waves.
SPS9.eDevelop and use models to explain the changes in sound waves associated with the Doppler Effect.
