Here are the topics covered On the AP Physics Test of waves and Light on Friday. The format will be short answer.
1. Using V = wavelength X Frequency to solve for an unknown.
2. Drawing harmonics 1-5 for three situations fixed, fixed boundary, fixed free, or free free and then solving for wavelength given length of the media.
3. Use Doppler effect to solve for the new frequency when sound source is moving away or towards you at a given speed. Possible conversion required.
4. Solve for velocity of a wave on a string given linear density and a known mass hanging from the string causing Tension
5. Draw all possible images formed from a concave or convex mirror .
6. Solve for image distance or height of image for mirror and lenses
7. Solve for image distance or height of image for mirror and lenses
8. Solve for image distance or height of image for mirror and lenses
9. Thin film interference. KNow how to form colors. Know when rays invert and how to solve for the thickness.
10. Parallel Slit Diffraction problem solving for either angle, or slit distance or length to screen or distance between bands .
11. Determine critical angle for light crossing a boundary given two refractory indexes.
12. Know how to calculate a beat frequency
