Find a picture from a media source (movies, TV, comics, video games, etc.) that contains either something that is producing sound waves or something that is producing light waves with clear regions in the image where reflection and refraction of those waves occur. Place the picture in the following diagram template and reference the image using APA format.
Note: Please ignore any science fiction, fantasy, or magic when determining where the notations go. Use only your physical science knowledge from the course notes. If anything is unclear in the image and you feel further explanation is needed, you may use the boxes in the key to clarify.
Open your diagram template and do the following:
1. Move and resize the red circle so that it is around an object in your diagram that is producing sound or light. Label the circled object in the key.
2. Move and resize the black waves so that they are indicating the direction the light or sound wave is acting. Remember, these are a visual representation of these waves in your image. You may also copy and paste these waves to produce more if needed.
3. Move, rotate, and resize the green double arrow so that it indicates how wavelength would be measured within this wave. Be sure to reference your course notes for the exact definition of how wavelength is measured, as it is NOT the entire length of the black waves.
4. Move the orange dot to a place on the diagram where reflection of the light or sound wave may occur.
5. Move the purple dot to a place on the diagram where refraction of the light or sound wave may occur.
6. Save your diagram as a PDF
