Explain it

A checkpoint, not a test

Draft your discussion post

This is the actual graded discussion post, drafted here first. Use at least four wave vocabulary terms correctly.

Describe a specific real-world use of waves in medicine, entertainment, safety, or transportation, and explain how the properties of waves make that technology work. Use at least four terms from this lesson (for example: medium, transverse, longitudinal, wavelength, amplitude, frequency, period, crest, trough).

Pick one concrete device or phenomenon rather than a broad topic, then explain it using the vocabulary rather than just naming the vocabulary.
