Describe the physics concepts/topics you have chosen to discuss from this week’s module, including, as appropriate, a reference to this week’s readings on the topics, terminology with definitions, units, conventions.

Waves and Sound
In this course, we will engage in graded discussions that focus on “the real world” by applying the physics concepts we are learning to both everyday life and to aviation.
After completing the readings and concept-related activities in this module, you will be prepared to engage in this discussion.
Initial Post Instructions and Requirements:
Choose a discussion topic that uses physics topics covered in this module. Consider one of the following as good topic “starters” for discussion:
(i) What were your “Aha!” moments as you worked through the material?
(ii) How does this module’s content relate to your professional career? Personal life?
(iii) How does this module’s content relate to current events?
(iv) Did you more deeply explore a topic only covered lightly in the course materials? What did you discover?
(v) What concepts did you struggle with? What resources helped you overcome this hurdle? Do not post homework problems.
Create an engaging 3-paragraph initial post that ties one or more of the module’s concepts to the real world. The paragraphs should address the following points:
Paragraph 1: Describe the physics concepts/topics you have chosen to discuss from this week’s module, including, as appropriate, a reference to this week’s readings on the topics, terminology with definitions, units, conventions, etc.
Paragraph 2: Summarize one or more impacts of the physics concepts to everyday life or aviation.
Paragraph 3: Either: (i) provide a real example, e.g., from an article or documented report of the aviation impact of this physics concept, or, (ii) give “your take” on the relevance and importance of this topic from your own perspective, by providing personal points of view or related experiences.
