Waves and Their Applications in Technologies for Information Transfer (HS-PS4)
Students who demonstrate understanding can...
- Use mathematical representations to support a claim regarding relationships among the frequency,wavelength, and speed of waves traveling in various mediums. (HS-PS4-1)
- Evaluate questions about the advantages of using a digital transmission and storage of information. (HS-PS4-2)
- Evaluate the claims, evidence,and reasoning behind the idea that electromagnetic radiation can be described either by a wave model or a particle model, and that for some situations one model is more useful than the other. (HS-PS4-3)
- Communicate technical information about how some technological devices use the principles of wave behavior and wave interactions with matter to transmit and capture information and energy.(HS-PS4-4)

Science Reasoning Center - Vibrations and WavesThere are three Vibrations and Waves passages that target students' science reasoning abilities. They are ... Period of a Pendulum 13 Questions This passage describes three simple experiments conducted by students in order to determine the variables that affect the period of a pendulum. Each experiment is described and the results are presented in the form of a graph. Questions target a student's ability to understand the design of an experiment, to identify the effect of one variable upon another variable, to draw a conclusion that is consistent with collected data, to read values off a graph, to extrapolate beyond the range of values on a graph, and to use provided data to make a prediction about the period that would result under a given set of conditions. View Passage Mass on a Spring 12 Questions This passage describes the up and down motion of a mass on a spring using a diagram, a position-time graph, and a velocity-time graph. Questions target a student's ability to select values from a graph, to combine information from two different graphs to draw appropriate conclusions, to identify the amplitude and the period, and to interpret the graphs in light of information on a diagram. View Passage Standing Waves on a Rope 13 Questions This passage describes a collection of three experiments investigating the possible effect of three different variables upon the speed of a standing wave. The experiments are described and frequency-wavelength-speed data are presented in tables. Questions target a student's ability to understand the design of an experiment, to combine results from two or more data presentations in order to draw appropriate conclusions, to interpolate and extrapolate from data in a table, to predict the results of an additional trial, to translate information from a data table to a graph, and to make predictions based upon a model.
