Is the invisibility cloak real? How does it work?
WavesA wave is a wiggle in time
Characteristics of WavesWavelength
Amplitude
Frequency
Velocity (remember, velocity includes the vector and magnitude)
Longitudinal WavesSound
P waves
AcousticsInterference
Resonance
Doppler Effect
Volume (amplitude of the wave)
Pitch (frequency)
So, how do speakers work?

Photoelectric EffectPhotons and electrons are quantum particles
So, how does my TV work? How about night vision goggles?
The Human Eye
Quiz1. 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.
