Thursday's class!

Today, Mrs. K started the day by going over the answers in the worksheet, Waves in Two Dimensions Unit: Reflection & Refraction given the day before, when they watched a video.  The answers are posted in the blog, it is titled, "Waves2D".  Unfortunately, I wasn't able to watch the video but you can just ask Mrs. K for further knowledge about the answers.

After that, she read some notes in "Waves in Two Dimension" from pages 7 to 9.  In page 9, we learned that when the waves move from deep water to shallow water, their speed decreases, therefore, the wavelength of the waves must also decrease just like in our previous studies in "Waves in One Dimension", it stated that when a wave move from a fast medium to a slow medium, the transmitted wave moves slower and the wavelength decreases as well.

The notes, in my opinion, are hard to understand and they move from one topic to another pretty fast, so if you are confused about anything, just ask Mrs. K before tomorrow's class.

After reading the notes, she gave us a review paper about water waves moving from one depth to another, it is called, Water Waves Moving From One Depth to Another. (:  and a worksheet, Waves in Two Dimensions - Assignment 1 that was supposed to be handed-in after the class but she said we can hand it in tomorrow and that pretty much covered the second half an hour of the class.

...and the next scribe will be yassin!
