4/15 Physics update and homework due 4/22

Hi folks,

Today we took time to learn about natural frequency and resonance as well as a few more bits and pieces regarding waves and how they transfer energy. 

Homework for next week is to:

Read the Sound chapter in the book. Pages 390 to 400 (We've been talking on and off about sound this entire unit. This chapter will help to solidify a lot of the concepts we've already been discussing.)

Do Review Questions on page 401 #'s 1 - 20.

Best,

Jim Mueller

For homework, Apply at least 5 different physics concepts to the situation. ...
