Notes/discussion: Resonance and examples
HW: Don't forget you have a lab due on Tuesday! HW: Have a great weekend! HW: WA--due Friday Quiz next week on Wednesday! If you choose: determine the speed of light in air by using a microwave and marshmallows (or chocolate) Things to consider: - there must be no turntable (the dish you're using must be kept in the same spot until you're done) - line the microwave-safe dish with chocolate chips or marshmallows so that there is minimal air/space between pieces - only heat everything for 10-15 seconds at a time. If you miss the hot spots...you have to start over. - look for the formation of hot spots (there should be multiple that form) - the distance separating the center of the hot spots is equal to 1/2 wavelength of the microwave - find the frequency of your microwave Turn in the following for lab extra credit: - Data you collected - photo of your hotspots, with your smiling face visible (so I know you didn't pull a still photo from the internet) - calcualtions clearly showing how your data shows the speed of light - quantitative comparison of your experimental value with the expected speed of light, 3.00 x 10^8 m/s Due by the end of next week. |
