Refer to the DIFFRACTION part of the work sheet.

Use the ripple tank, blocks of wood, and water in this station. Arrange the materials as shown in the period. Once done, generate waves in the water using your finger. Observe what happens to the wave as they near the gap. Take note of what happens when the waves pass through the gap. Make a smaller gap using the blocks of wood and generate waves using your finger. Observe what happens to the wave. Then widen the gap and generate waves. Observe what happens the waves as they pass through the gap.

Refer to the INTERFERENCE part of the work sheet. Arrange the puzzle pieces to get an illustration. Then obtain information fro m the illustration to answer the questions given on the work sheet.

Refer to the POLARIZATION part of the work sheet. Watch the video and take note of important aspects. Answer the questions given on the work sheet.

Refer to the REFLECTION part in the group work sheet. Analyze the diagram below. Note how the parts have been labeled. Answer the questions on the work sheet.

Incident ray Reflected ray

incident

reflected

The angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection.

Refer to the REFRACTION part of the work sheet. Refraction refers to the change in the speed of a wave when the wave passes from one medium to another. Use the beaker and the rod to demonstrate refraction of light. Illustrate the figu re that you will be able to observe. For water waves, refraction is exhibited when water waves move from in different depths. As the water wave moves to a deeper part, the wavelength increases, the frequency is constant, and the speed increases. As the wave travels to a shallower part, the wavelength decreases, the frequency stays constant, while the speed decreases.
