Description
Summary:Within the framework of the new curriculum, where active learning is the student, we propose a practice of modelling in science education to work with basics of mathematics and physics. The practice involves the modelling of wave reflection by rough surfaces. In a first stage, the reflection is analysed by a completely flat surface using geometric and physical concepts. The wave reflected from the surface is calculated from the waves emitted by a virtual source placed at the position symmetrical to the source position with respect to the mirror surface. To calculate the reflected wave, probability concepts are introduced. The wave reflection by a rough surface is obtained from the waves emitted by different sources for virtually every point of reflection. Courses in architecture and basic engineering, or even a master of acoustics are exceptional framework for the implementation of this practice.
