Waves and Their Applications in Technologies for Information Transfer

High School students who demonstrate an understanding of Waves and Their Applications to Technologies for Information Transfer can:

HS-PS4-1.  
Use mathematical representations to support a claim regarding relationships among the frequency, wavelength, and speed of waves traveling in various media. 
 


HS-PS4-2.
Evaluate questions about the advantages of using a digital transmission and storage of information. 
 
Activity: None

(We are really just getting started on this section of the website. We will be adding resources to this category soon.)
 


HS-PS4-3.
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-PS4-4.
Evaluate the validity and reliability of claims in published materials of the effects that different frequencies of electromagnetic radiation have when absorbed by matter. 
 
Activity: None

(We are really just getting started on this section of the website. We will be adding resources to this category soon.)
 


HS-PS4-5.  
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. 
 
Activity: None
