Is the invisibility cloak real? How does it work?
Waves A wave is a wiggle in time
Characteristics of Waves Wavelength Amplitude Frequency Velocity ( remember, velocity includes the vector and magnitude )
Longitudinal Waves Sound P waves
Acoustics Interference Resonance Doppler Effect Volume (amplitude of the wave) Pitch (frequency)
So, how do speakers work?
Transverse Waves The electromagnetic spectrum S waves
The Electromagnetic Spectrum Gamma Rays Cosmic Rays X-Rays Ultraviolet Radiation Visible Light Spectrum Infrared Radiation Microwaves Radio Waves
Electromagnetic Waves Wave / Particle Duality
Light The speed of light is a constant – c Color Red Shift / Blue Shift
Properties of Light ( and other waves ) Transmission Reflection Refraction Interference Resonance Polarization
Lenses Concave Lenses Convex Lenses Focal Point
Photoelectric Effect Photons and electrons are quantum particles
So, how does my TV work? How about night vision goggles?

Quiz 1. T or F, a wave is a wiggle in time. 2. T or F, all waves require a medium to travel through. 3. T or F, refraction is the bending of a wave. 4. T or F, a concave lens makes objects look bigger. 5. T or F, the photoelectric effect occurs when a flow of electrons is used to create light.
