Module 3 | Waves and thermodynamics
Content 2: Wave behaviour
Lesson 1 | Ripple tank reflection, refraction, diffraction, and superposition
-
explain the behaviour of waves in a variety of situations by investigating the phenomena of:
– reflection
– refraction
– diffraction
– wave superposition (ACSPH071, ACSPH072)
Lesson 2 | Resonance
-
conduct an investigation to explore resonance in mechanical systems and the relationships between:
– driving frequency
– natural frequency of the oscillating system
– amplitude of motion
– transfer/transformation of energy within the system (ACSPH073)
