Unit Name Waves
Key Concept Relationships
Related Concept(s) Movement and Energy
Global Context Personal and cultural expression; products
Statement of Inquiry New relationships have become possible as humanity has learned to
manufacture products that manipulate the movement of energy
Objectives:
Characteristics of waves:
wavelength λ, frequency ƒ, time
period T, and wave speed v
applied to wave motion as given
by v=ƒλ=λ/T
Electromagnetic spectrum:
identifying the characteristics
(amplitude, frequency,
wavelength and periodic time),
sources, uses and detectors for
each electromagnetic wave.
Light waves: identifying the
characteristics (amplitude,
frequency, wavelength and
periodic time) law of reflection,
law of refraction (Snell's law),
diffraction.
Knowledge of Snell’s law, critical
angle and total internal reflection
Calculations using Snell’s law as
given by
n1 sin θ 2 v 2
= =
n2 sinθ 1 v 1
