Lights Out: Periodic Phenomena

Activity Overview

In this activity, students will use a light sensor to collect intensity data for fast and slow variations of intensities. They will then describe these variations using the concepts of period and frequency. This activity has been modified for TI-Nspire with the data and graphs within the activity file.

You may use the file as is or if you want to have your students collect the data, you can modify the file.
