Remember, radiowaves travel at a speed of 30,000 km/s. Don't forget to convert the frequencies of the radio stations BEFORE you calculate wavelength!
Students will be able to:
use information from textbooks and classroom discussions to
-calculate the frequency of a transverse wave.
-construct a graph to show the relationship between the frequency and wavelength of electromagnetic waves.
The do now was to solve problems for wavelength:
A. A wave with a speed of 340 m/s and that travels with a frequency of 10 Hz has what wavelength?
B. A wave with a frequency of 560 Hz travels with a speed of 280 m/s. What is its wavelength?
Students completed the graphs on frequency and call stations. Some classes also do a log graph of frequency and wavelength of electromagnetic waves.
Those classes needing to complete the activity will do so on Monday.
