OBJECTIVES OF LESSON To know that sound can be reflected, refracted, diffracted, and produces interference effects. Know that sound is a wave because it can be reflected and refracted as with particles, diffraction and interference only occur with waves   SOUND WAVES
Make a list of keywords used in the learning Objectives (2 minutes task) ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Write down what you know already about the keywords  – this will help you to correct some misconceptions about the keywords used in the topic

In the d iffraction  diagram above- the straight parallel waves could be seen to be spreading-out  when they go through a gap.
What is Wave Interference? Consider two pulses of the same amplitude travelling in different directions along the same medium as shown. Note: During interference snapshots of the medium for  two such pulses both waves have an upward displacement.  Therefore, there is an upward displacement in the medium which  tends to be greater than the displacement of the two interfering pulses  as shown in the second diagram. Your task: Draw 2 waves pulses showing destructive interference. Constructive Interference
The speed of waves usually changes when they cross a boundary that is the boundary between glass-air, air-glass or water-glass or shallow-deep
Questions you may have include: Can the  width of the gap  affect diffraction of waves?  The extent of the spreading depends on how the  width of the gap  compares to the  wavelength of the waves . The bigger the gap width compared with the wavelength of the wave, the less the diffraction . Compare the width of the gaps shown in diagrams A and B. Look at the waves as they go through them.
Common examples of diffraction Your task is to suggest other examples to complete the table above (4 minutes Task in pairs of group) Light spreading out through a window Waves spreading through a narrow gap  High sound - a short wavelength compared with the gap - little spread.  Light spreading out from a torch using the door key hole. Try this easy experiment on your own. Waves spreading into a harbour; narrower gap, wider spread  Sound spread-out as you open the door of a room with loud music or sound. In light Waves In water Waves In sound Waves
Questions you may have include: What is sound?  What are the characteristics of sound?  How is sound created and detected?
What is Sound? Explain why we think sound is a wave.   SOUND WAVES In the study of physics,  sound is defined as a  range of compression-wave frequencies to which the human ear is sensitive .
Ripple tank demonstrations   Demonstrate  reflection ,  diffraction ,  interference , and  refraction  of  water waves.
[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
Sound waves are detected when they cause a detector to vibrate.   A very common detector to use is a balloon filled with  Carbon dioxide  placed directly in front of a loudspeaker.  Our Eardrum  also  vibrates from sound waves .  This another way to sense sound waves.
