In our last class we went over notes and extended them on a wave reflection and transmission. Mr. Banow showed us examples with materials of two different mediums and on the smart board. We then finished writing notes and began to read pages 214-217 and did questions 1-6. We only were given a few minutes to do these questions but we are going to have time to work on this on Monday at the beginning of class! Yay. Some of the awesome things we took notes on were waves often move from one medium to another medium(air to water etc.), if a wave passes from a more to less dense medium (slow to fast medium), the reflection wave will not invert and if a wave passes from a less to more dense medium (fast to slow medium), the reflection wave will invert. Suppose a wave is transmitted from a light spring to a heavy spring. The wave will travel faster in the light spring because its less dense. The wave length will be longer in the light spring than the heavy one.
Next to go will be a rock paper scissors tournament between the defending losers of our tournament. The loser is up next!
