PS+7+-+Waves


 * ====Standard PS-7:==== || ====[|The student will demonstrate an understanding of the nature and properties of mechanical and electromagnetic waves.]==== ||
 * Indicators:**
 * || PS-7.1 || [|Illustrate ways that the energy of waves is transferred by interaction with matter (including transverse and longitudinal/compressional waves).] ||
 * || PS-7.2 || [|Compare the nature and properties of transverse and longitudinal/compressional mechanical waves.] ||
 * || PS-7.3 || [|Summarize characteristics of waves (including displacement, frequency, period, amplitude, wavelength, and velocity as well as the relationships among these characteristics).] ||
 * || PS-7.4 || [|Use the formulas v = f and v = d/t to solve problems related to the velocity of waves.] ||
 * || PS-7.5 || [|Summarize the characteristics of the electromagnetic spectrum (including range of wavelengths, frequency, energy, and propagation without a medium).] ||
 * || PS-7.6 || [|Summarize reflection and interference of both sound and light waves and the refraction and diffraction of light waves.] ||
 * || PS-7.7 || [|Explain the Doppler effect conceptually in terms of the frequency of the waves and the pitch of the sound.] ||
