Light Behaves like a WaveWave Optics - Download and run thePhETsimulation Wave ion/wave-interference) Take several minutes to familiarizeyourself with the simulation. Play with the different modules (Water, Sound, Light) and get to know thedifferent tools you have available within each module. Reset everything before you begin the otherparts of this activity. You may find it helpful to increase the size of the simulation’s viewing window byclicking on the small box with a ‘ ’ in the upper right-hand corner.1: Water Waves1.) How does changing the frequency of the drip (disturbance) affect the characteristics of thewater waves?2.) How does changing the amplitude of the drip affect the characteristics of the water waves?3.) Sketch the water waves from both the top and side views. Label the wavelength of the wave ineach of your sketches.Top:Side:4.) How does the wavelength of the wave depend upon the frequency of the wave? How were youable to come to this conclusion?5.) Come up with a method to determine the speed of a water wave. Outline your procedure andshare your results below. You may want to consider running several trials and averaging yourresults.1

6.) How does changing the frequency of the drip affect the speed of the waves?7.) What effect does changing the amplitude of the drip have on the speed of the waves?8.) How does amplitude change with distance from the disturbance? How could you tell? Whatmight be causing this to happen?9.) What do you think would happen to the waves if a barrier with a narrow slit (aperture) wereplaced in the path of the wave? Draw your prediction as viewed from above (Top) in the spacebelow. Then test your prediction and comment on how closely your prediction matched whatyou observed.10.) As waves pass through an appropriately-sized aperture they can spread out, or diffract;something you just observed. Predict what would happen if you increased the size of theaperture. Would the waves diffract more or less? Make a sketch of your prediction in the spacebelow. Then test your prediction and comment on your observations.2

2: Sound Waves1.) Using the method you developed in the previous activity, measure the speed of a sound wave.Compare this with the ‘accepted’ value of the speed of sound (you may need to go online orelsewhere to find this value). What might be some reasons for any discrepancies between yourcalculated value and the accepted value?2.) How does the sound intensity (amplitude or ‘volume’) change as the distance between thesource of the sound wave and the observer increases? How could you tell? What might becausing this to happen?3: Light Waves1.) Use the simulation to determine the wavelengths of the following colors of light:Red:Orange:Yellow:Green:Blue:Violet:2.) Using the method you developed in the previous activities, determine the speed of a light wave.Does this speed depend on the frequency of light? Amplitude? Compare this with the‘accepted’ value of the speed of light (you may need to go online or elsewhere to find thisvalue). What might be some reasons for any discrepancies between your calculated value andthe accepted value?3

3.) You saw in the previous activity, that waves can diffract when they interact with anappropriately-sized aperture. Light, being a wave, is capable of doing the same thing. Using thespace below, sketch what you predict the pattern would look like on a screen placed in the pathof a light wave if:Light hits screen unobstructed without passing through aperture:Light hits screen after passing through a single narrow aperture (single slit):Light hits screen after passing through two, closely-spaced, narrow apertures (double slit):4.) Test your predictions and comment on how closely your predictions matched your observations.5.) You just saw that the pattern of light after passing through a double-slit resembles a series ofclosely-separated bands of light, known as an interference pattern. In the space below, predictwhat you think would happen to the interference pattern if the following parameters wereadjusted independently:Wavelength of light (λ):4

Distance between barrier and light source (L):Distance between slits (d):6.) Test your predictions and comment on how closely your predictions matched your observations.7.) Using what you just observed, come up with three relationships (proportionalities) describinghow the positions of the bright fringes (y – the distances from the central maximum) depend onλ, L, and d. Combine these proportionalities into a single equation.8.) Use your new equation to solve the following problem (Knight – 17.8): Light from a sodiumlamp (λ 589 nm) illuminates two narrow slits. The fringe spacing on a screen 150 cm behindthe slits is 4.0 mm. What is the spacing (in mm) between the two slits?5

3.) Sketch the water waves from both the top and side views. Label the wavelength of the wave in each of your sketches. Top: Side: 4.) How does the wavelength of the wave depend upon the frequency of the wave? How were you able to come to this conclusion? 5.) Come up with a method to determine the speed of a water wave.

Motive Wave. It is a five wave trend but unlike a five wave impulse trend, the Wave 4 overlaps with the Wave 1. Ending Diagonals are the last section ("ending") of a trend or counter trend. The most common is a Wave 5 Ending Diagonal. It is a higher time frame Wave 5 trend wave that reaches new extremes and the Wave 3:5 is beyond the .

Wave a and Wave c are constructed of five waves as Elliott originally proposed. As opposed to the five wave impulse move in Elliott’s original version that could form either a Wave 1, Wave 3, Wave 5, Wave A or Wave C the harmonic version can only f

So, the wave 1, wave 3 and wave 5 are parts of impulsive wave in upward direction. [6] Though Elliott waves follow many rules but three basic rules are followed by each wave to interpret Elliott wave. These guidelines are unbreakable. These rules are as follow: Rule 1: Wave 2 is not retracted more than 100% of wave 1.

Wave Speed Calculating wave speed – Wave moves one wavelength every period Wave speed depends on the substance – Called the “medium” of the wave – Wave speed is a constant in a specific medium So if the frequency of a wave increases. –.Wavelength must decrease!

Ground-Wave Propagation Ground-wave propagation involves the transmission of a radio signal along or near the surface of the earth. The ground-wave signal is divided into three parts: the direct wave, the reflected wave, and the surface wave. The direct wave travels through the atmosphere from one
