Class Work for Friday, April 13, 2012

Today you will be exploring concepts of light as we finish the unit. After break, we will be starting Relativity and Atomic Physics.

1. Go to: http://www.shs.d211.org/physicsd211/virtualphysics/light/LightInterference/interference.html

Move the three sliders on the bottom of the animation to see the different interference patterns, in both single and double slits.


2. Go to the Multimedia Science School software on the Novell screen.

Physics > Oscillations and Waves > Light > Lesson > Ray Optics

Physics > Oscillations and Waves > Wave Behavior > How Waves Behave

Physics > Oscillations and Waves > Combining Waves > Superposition of Waves


This is for your information. Take notes on these as you see fit, for yourself.

After break there will be an assessment of what you know about light.
