Crave the Wave!!

[kjhsscioly]

actually, looking back, only the easier questions were the same, they changed the essay questions and the short answer. They also included more questions on tsunamis than last year. Overall, however, it was structured very similarly

[Mr. Cool]

Does anyone else think that the national test last year had too much Dynamic Planet stuff?

[rbejnood]

seriously, aproximately half of the test was dynamic planet

Crave the Wave is awesome!!
i did it at regionals and it had this snel's law part that was almost a fourth of the test!
it was relitively simple and we made it 2 states with a fourth place finish over all!!

i had this question i didn't know though.
what kind of wave was used to take some picture?


any thoughts

Well, if it was an x-ray then it would be x-rays that were used to take the picture. Maybe it was an ultrasound, though I don't know what wave that would be.

[Helix_Nebula_Freak]

It would be a high frequency sound wave it were an ultrasound.

[rbejnood]

virtually any wave in the Electromagnetic Spectrum can be used. many star images for example, are taken with infared, visible, uv, x-ray, and gamma (although gamma is not as often used for stars). so i would say any wave in the EM spectrum

[EastStroudsburg13]

Well, it depends on the type of picture, because virtually any type of electromagnetic waves can be used. If they did not specify, then I pretty much agree with rbejnood.

[binary010101]

Heh. You could even say terahertz if you wanted to.

How often have you guys had labs in this event, and what did you have to do?
