Title: Interference of 2-D Waves and Beats

Category: 2D Wave Interference

Summary: I looked at the interference of 2D waves as well as the topic of beats since they are 2 sources interfering with one another. I chose to present my LO on a Prezzi because I think it would explain this topic best, and I decided to use one big question (2 speakers as sources) to explain the interference of 2D waves, how waves could interfere constructively or destructively. For beats, I showed the equations, explained them, and gave a simple example of how to calculate beat frequency.

Week 7 (LO5) Featured

Title: Reflection and Transmission of Waves

Category: Reflection and Transmission of Mechanical Waves

Summary: This learning object discusses the concepts behind the reflection and transmission of waves, and includes a brief explanation of ultrasound imaging. The aim of this LO is to provide insight not only into when a wave is inverted upon reflection, but why a wave is or is not inverted upon reflection.

Correction:
At 2:40 in the video, I said that the amplitudes of transmitted and reflected waves add up to equal the amplitude of the incident wave. I meant that the energies of transmitted and reflected waves add up to equal the energy of the incident wave.  It is energy that is conserved, not amplitude.

Title: Sound waves

Category: Sound Waves

Summary: For my learning object, I focused on the basic background of Sound waves as I wasn’t very familiar with it to begin with and was intrigued on how our ear accepts the sound waves.

Also, discussed are the equations of sound waves and speed and the mediums it travels through.
