Unit 4 Discussion Board PreviewFor the Unit 4 DB assignment, you will be assigned to a
team and must collaborate on the first part of the discussion.Teams will be formed and posted in an AnnouncementI will start a thread for each team within the Unit 4
Discussion Board. This is where you should post your information.
There are 3 components to this discussion, be sure to complete them all
Cite your resources!Be sure to collaborate with your team prior to the start
of Unit 4 by e-mail, AIM, or phone to divide up the work.

Waves 101

Waves 101A wave is a disturbance that travels through
space and transports energy. Some waves, electromagnetic waves (light
for example), can travel through a vacuum. Other waves, known as mechanical waves,
can only travel through a medium such as a solid, liquid, or gas.
Although a wave may transport energy from one place to another, it does not transport mass.

Waves 101Visual representation
of waves: sinusoidal shape (S-shape) The points of
maximum displacement in the positive or negative direction are known as the "crests" and "troughs" of a wave.

Waves 101Three important characteristics that define waves
Amplitude: the measure of the maximum disturbanceRelated to the amount of energy carried by the
waveWavelength: the length of one complete wave cycle,
from crest to crestDifferent types of light have different wavelengths.
Frequency: a measure of the number of wave cycles that occur in a given amount of time
Frequency and Wavelength are closely related: the shorter the wavelength, the higher its frequency

Grandma Pauline & her MicrowaveGrandma Pauline has just won a microwave oven in a radio contest. When it arrives at her house, it sits on her counter, unused, for a month.
One afternoon, when you visit her, she tells you that she is afraid to use it because:
"If I stand too close, I'll get radiated!”

Grandma Pauline & her Microwave
What can we tell Grandma Pauline to help her
understand this new technology?

Grandma Pauline & her Microwave
What’s the difference between the waves that are used in a
microwave oven and the dangerous nuclear radiation
she fears?

Grandma Pauline & her MicrowaveIf you took a similar infrared photo of
your body, what parts would you expect to show up as brightest orange?
What parts would be blue?
Why?

Grandma Pauline & her Microwave
If radio waves and microwaves are both electromagnetic waves, why can’t Grandma Pauline listen to
KBAQ-FM on her new oven?

Grandma Pauline & her Microwave
What might be some negative impacts of using Grandma Pauline’s new microwave
oven?
