Class Show & Tell: Special things to do or bring! Look here for assignments due during class!		Resonance share examples of resonance that students bring to class (but also be able to describe the resonance phenomenon in simple language) know what wavelength, frequency, speed of a wave mean know the difference between a longitudinal and transverse wave what's superposition, what's interference? Standing Waves in a String-DEMO 20 min lab C4 It is very helpful to have the prelab done and data table spread over 2 facing pages BEFORE coming to class wear closed toe shoes; bring a glove or a sock in order not to hurt your hand	get help during tutorial today with C3 and C4 Lab C6 Sound/Musical Instruments	course evaluation/extracredit Standing Waves Review Chart get help during tutorial Wed, May 28 with C3 and C4 Lab C6 Sound/Musical Instruments S/T do prelab to part 3 for sine waves of frequency 15 and 18 in your lab book before class today		FINAL EXAM BR 436, 439, 442 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM Electrostatics E Field Electromagnetism SHM Work, Energy, Momentum Waves Standing Waves FINAL EXAM PRACTICE (50) web assign OPTIONAL but HELPFUL :)
