Virginia Standards of Learning: Physics

PH.9 The student will investigate and understand how to use models of transverse and longitudinal waves to interpret wave phenomena. Key concepts include

a) wave characteristics (period, wavelength, frequency, amplitude, and phase);

b) fundamental wave processes (reflection, refraction, diffraction, interference, polarization, Doppler effect); and

c) light and sound in terms of wave models.
