OPENING QUESTION:

None Today

LEARNING TARGET QUICK REVIEW (From Yesterday):

Review how photons are created

Learn the form of e-m waves (electric wave component, magnetic wave component and their orientation to the direction of travel of the wave)

Review 'quantum jumps'

Review the importance of 'energy levels'

c=λυ???

Review "Rowdy Martians"

All objects in the Universe do... WHAT (regarding light). Hint: There are 3 that we are most interested in and 2 that we are sorta kinda interested in passing.

WORDS O' THE DAY:

• electromagnetic waves
• electron REST state or GROUND state
• EXCITED electrons
• quantum jump
• energy levels

FORMULAE OBJECTUS:

c=λυ: The speed of light (c) = wavelength (λ named "lamda") x frequency υ named "nu") Physicists LOVE to use greek letters... something you'll learn first hand if you take UPhys in your college careers!

it is often helpful to remember that for waves generally:

s = wf: The speed of a wave (s) = wavelength x frequency)

 

WORK O' THE DAY:

Please prepare for tomorrow's test.

This has been a fairly short unit so you should spend your time reviewing the work we've done in class for the last week or so.

If you missed a day, be sure and pay particular attention to the lesson plan on the day you missed.

Tomorrow is senior's last day so THERE ARE NO RETAKES on this test.
