HS, Physics Std 31: Explain the impact of change in media upon the speed, frequency, and wavelength of a wave.

Lesson Plans: Wave Motion Identify the frequency, amplitude and phase of a wave. Identify and explain the difference between a transverse and longitudinal wave. Relate the concept of vibration to frequency and pitch. Speed of Light Determine the significance and applications of the experiment at the NEC Research Institute in which scientists were able to break the speed of light. Explain how experiment results "bend" Albert Einstein's theory of relativity. Pulses and Standing Waves Predict the velocity of a transverse wave based on the physical properties of long spring. Refraction Through a Glass Block Trace a refracted light ray through a glass block and calculate the index of refraction Critical Angle Determine critical angle for substances using Snell's Law
