what are the labs like i dont get how you could do a lab about waves thx

plz help thx

Hmm... Weeeell, at states last year they pretty much did all labs... The only one that we really did okay on was one where there were two tubes of fluorecent gases and we had to identify what kind they were using a chart. I think I remember one that involved tuning forks but I can't remember what the questions were or anything.

that dosent make sence what dose that have to do with waves i dident know we needed to know about gases it dosent say that you need to in the rules

hey, I'm new 2 this event!

what is the test like

What are some examples for questions

does any1 know any good practice tests

thnx

The test I took at regionals last year was mostly objective. There's some math, identifying harmonic modes, refraction, math, identifying parts of a wave (amplitude, period, etc.), and math.
The states test was a station based test, like "Shine the flashlight through the comb onto the mirror. Identify and draw its ray of light, the mirror backing, and its reflection. How does the angle of incidence compare to the angle of reflection?" and "Shine the flashlight through the red and green paddles (translucent plastic things) and tell me what color it makes." I could answer half of the test without actually BEING at the station.

I don't know about practice tests, though questions like finding frequency, wavelength, or speed would be good practice. And always, bring a calculator!

ARe we allowed to use Ti-84 silver plus editions on the test?
If not GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

no im pretty sure your only allowed up to a non-programmable calculator but to be sure i would check the rules why do you need a graphing caculator i did this last year with a cheap little dollar store calc

yeah, what would you need as graphing calc for. The optimum choice would be a scientific calc. The ones that you use in 7th grade math, mine says TI-34-II on it. You really don't need a graphic calc.
