WAVES
Join the Study Jams Team to explore sound is energy that travels as a result of vibration. It can be characterized by frequency, loudness, and pitch, and it is measured in decibels.
​
Join the Study Jams Team to explore light is a very important energy source that keeps us warm and lets us see the world. Light travels in waves in bundles of energy called photons. Those photons contain all seven colors in the rainbow. Grab a prism and check them out!
​
Join the Study Jams Team to explore light always travels in a straight line until something gets in its way. When that happens, light can be absorbed, reflected (bounced off) or refracted (bent), depending on what kind of surface it hits.
​
Check out this Bill Nye video on WAVES. It will help you complete the worksheet from class:)
​
Check out this Bill Nye video on SOUND. It will help you complete the worksheet from class:)
Discuss wave properties using common vocabulary andpredict the behavior of waves through varying medium and at reflective endpoints.
​
​
Explain how different sounds are modeled, described, and produced also design ways to determine the speed, frequency, period and wavelength of a sound wave model.
Light and EM Spectrum
