(7) Science concepts. The student knows the characteristics and behavior of waves. The student is expected to:

• (A) examine and describe oscillatory motion and wave propagation in various types of media; 
• (B) investigate and analyze characteristics of waves, including velocity, frequency, amplitude, and wavelength, and calculate using the relationship between wavespeed, frequency, and wavelength; 
• (C) compare characteristics and behaviors of transverse waves, including electromagnetic waves and the electromagnetic spectrum, and characteristics and behaviors of longitudinal waves, including sound waves; 
• (D) investigate behaviors of waves, including reflection, refraction, diffraction, interference, resonance, and the Doppler effect; and 
• (E) describe and predict image formation as a consequence of reflection from a plane mirror and refraction through a thin convex lens .
