60-second Quick Read

  • use wave and particle models to describe energy transfer through different mediums and examine the usefulness of each model for explaining phenomena
  • Example: describing the processes underlying convection and conduction of heat in terms of the particle model
  • Common trap: modelling the transfer of sound energy as waves using slinky springs and relating to the medium through which the sound is transferred
