9. You were asked to draw the wavelets at each of the places where the light rays intersect with the wave CD, so the blue curves that don't look very blue after upload are those wavelets...
10. In your diagram include...
a) the wave ray indicating the direction ofmotion of the reflected wavelet
b) a possible location of the wavefront
c) the correct location of the wavelet in relation to the wavefront
d) the angle of reflection
11. a) When waves move from deep water to shallow water, the wavelength of the wave would become smaller and the speed would decrease.
b) According to the wave theory, the speed of light is slower in an optically denser medium while the corpuscular theory states the opposite - speed is faster in the denser medium.
And that was it for the previous homework questions. Next, we read about and discussed Young's Experiment which can be found on pages 17-20 in the green booklet, so make sure you read about that. Part of what we discussed in class included the interference patterns produced by light, and it's pretty interesting, especially as explained by this video which we also watched in class... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DfPeprQ7oGc. And another site that further discusses light interference patterns: http://www.colorado.edu/physics/2000/schroedinger/two-slit2.html. Haha, yupp=]]
For homework tonight, just make sure you finish questions 13-15 in that same question booklet. Well that's basically all for today. I'm gonna wrap it up here... tomorrow's scribe will be Larlyn. Is that okay? Okaayy... See yah tomorrow guysss.

Really great post. I liked how you cited the URL's for the points we covered in class.
