Wave Interference and Reflection

Today was a pretty laid-back day because I am weak and helpless from sleeping without eating much the last three days. There were some notes (below), but mostly we looked at simulations online (also below). You then had one last assignment to practice  stuff from this unit because YOUR TEST IS THURSDAY. I'll have a practice test for you next time.

Notes
Simulations:
Zona Land Education: Wave Interference I
Zona Land Education: Wave Interference II
PhET: Wave on a String
