S8P4.f- Use a Model to Predict and Describe the Relationships Between Wave Properties and Energy

Unit 4: Characteristics of Waves

STANDARD: S8P4   Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information to support the claim that electromagnetic (light) waves behave differently than mechanical (sound) waves.

ELEMENT: S8P4.f   Develop and use a model (e.g., simulations, graphs, illustrations) to predict and describe the relationships between wave properties (e.g., frequency, amplitude, and wavelength) and energy.

LEARNING TARGETS:

  1. I can describe the relationship between the electromagnetic spectrum and energy. (Knowledge)
  2. I can determine the relationship between a change in a wave's energy and its amplitude, frequency, and wavelength. (Reasoning)
  3. I can determine the relationship between a change in a wave's frequency and its amplitude and wavelength. (Reasoning)
  4. I can illustrate the relationship between a change in a wave's energy and its amplitude, frequency, and wavelength. (Skill)
  5. I can illustrate the relationship between a change in a wave's frequency and its amplitude and wavelength. (Skill)
  6. I can develop and use a model to predict and describe the relationships between wave properties and energy. (Product)
