1.  Please take out your telescope research  I’m coming around during bell work to check it

2. 4. Complex Knowledge: demonstrations of learning that go aboveand above and beyond what was explicitly taught. 3. Knowledge: meeting the learning goals and expectations. 2. Foundational knowledge: simpler procedures, isolated details, vocabulary. 1. Limited knowledge: know very little details but working toward a higher level.  understand the electromagnetic spectrum and how it is organized.  understand what different types of electromagnetic radiation can reveal about astronomical objects.  understand and describe important properties of electromagnetic radiation.  understand how technology is used to collect electromagnetic radiation and turn it into images.  understand what can be learned from analyzing the light from astronomical objects.  understand how different types of telescopes work  understand how lenses are used in telescopes.

3. 2/16/2016 BellWork  Compare and Contrast a reflecting telescope and a refracting telescope. (two similarities and two differences)

4. Wavelength, frequency, and speed I hope a lot of this will be a review

5. Before we can go further talking about light waves….Gravity Waves!  We have been looking for 100 years  Just announced last week  Being called the greatest scientific discovery this century  Equal to the discovery of the telescope in terms of astronomers learning about the universe

8.  What are the properties of electromagnetic waves?  Next year, we could be asking “what are the properties of gravitational waves, and what sort of things can we see/learn from them?” Today’s question:

9. You will need calculators today

10. ALL Waves are nothing more than……  ENERGY moving from one place to another!  Not this kind….

11.  Ocean Waves: the surface of the sea is vibrating up and down.  Sound Waves: air? particles are vibrating.  All electromagnetic waves can travel in a vacuum. Electromagnetic waves are vibrations of magnetic and electric fields. They don't need air or anything in order to travel. What do waves travel through?

12.  All of these are electromagnetic waves.  This means that although they appear to be very different, in fact they're all the same - but at different frequencies and wavelengths.

13.  means pretty much what it says - the length of one wave.  To measure it more precisely, we use the distance from the peak of one wave to the peak on the next wave. *technically, the distance from any point on a wave to the same point on the next cycle of the wave. The peaks are just handy places to measure from.  It may be measured in: Kilometers km (1,000 meters) Meters m Centimeters cm (1/100 of a meter) Millimeters mm (1/1000 of a meter) The tiny lines on your ruler! Nanometers nm (1/1,000,000,000 of a meter) wavelength

14.  In math, how often something happens  With waves, it's the number of waves that pass a point in a second  It may be measured in: Hertz Hz 1 Hz : 1 wave per second Kilohertz kHz 1 kHz:1,000 waves per second Megahertz MHz 1 MHz:1 million waves per second. (FM radio stations usually broadcasts around 100 MHz) Gigahertz GHz 1 GHz:1,000 million waves per second. frequency

15.  Frequency: high or low?  Wavelength: long or short?  Energy: high or low? Describe the properties of this wave.

16.  Frequency: high or low?  Wavelength: long or short?  Energy: high or low? Describe the properties of this wave.

17.  All electromagnetic waves travel at the speed of light (c)  The speed of a wave is the product of its wavelength and frequency.  v = λ X f= cv = d/t v= speed (velocity)v= speed (velocity) λ = wavelengthd=distance f= frequencyt = time C = speed of light How fast do waves travel?

18.  Also now the speed of gravity! the speed of light

19.  A tsunami wave travels at 150 kilometers/hour as it approaches land. If the wavelength is 50 kilometers, what is the frequency of the wave in Hertz?  v = λ X f Problem 1

20.  A tsunami wave travels at 150 kilometers/hour as it approaches land. If the wavelength is 50 kilometers, what is the frequency of the wave in Hertz?  v = λ X f  150 = 50 X f Problem 1

21.  A sound wave travels at 340 meters/sec, with a pitch (frequency) of 440 Hertz. What is its wavelength? Problem 2 v = λ X f

22.  A sound wave travels at 340 meters/sec, with a pitch (frequency) of 440 Hertz. What is its wavelength? Problem 2 v = λ X f 340 = λ X 440

23.  A sunbather on Cocoa Beach is passing her time by counting waves as they break on the beach. She watches as one distant wave takes 10 seconds to travel about 100 meters to the shore. What was the speed of this wave in meters per second? Problem 3

24.  A sunbather on Cocoa Beach is passing her time by counting waves as they break on the beach. She watches as one distant wave takes 10 seconds to travel about 100 meters to the shore. What was the speed of this wave in meters per second? Problem 3 v = d/t V= 100/10

25.  What are the properties of electromagnetic waves? Answer Today’s question:
