How does this show the principle of incident and reflected waves?Do it again, but this time make a positive wave by quickly yanking the wrench up and back down. Are the incident and reflected waves still opposites?

1. Set it to manual, fixed end, high tension, low or no damping, slow-motion. These will be your settings for most of this lab. Reset the setting after each use. Do you understand this?

2. Produce one quick wave by yanking the wrench down and back up. Which way does the waveform point (up or down)?

3. What happens to that direction when the wave hits the clamp on the right and bounces back to you (up or down)?

4. How does this show the principle of incident and reflected waves?

5. Do it again, but this time make a positive wave by quickly yanking the wrench up and back down. Are the incident and reflected waves still opposites?

6. Make a complete statement about what is happening, using the terms “reflected”, “incident” and “inverted”.

7. Now it gets challenging. You want to make a destructive interference wave. Make a quick, large “up” wave as before, and when the wave gets to about the 3rd green ball marker make another large up wave.

8. What happens when an inverted (negative) wave crosses an up (positive) wave? HINT: You might have to do this several times to get it to work. It helps visualize it by using the pause button. Did you ever get the waveforms to completely destroy each other?

9. When the waves pass through each other they immediately regain their original form. Now, do you need to re-write your answer to #8?

10. Finally, try to make a constructive interference. This is a little easier. You will make an “up” wave as before, and then about the time of the 3rd green ball, make a “down” wave. What will be the direction of the “down” wave after it reflects?

11. What happens to the amplitude when two waves pass each other?

12. Sometimes in the ocean a “rogue wave” will seemingly come out of nowhere, tower over small ships and quickly disappear. They can be quite dangerous. From what you have done, explain in a sentence or two what might cause rogue waves.

What is the “fight or flight” response? How do epinephrine and norepinephrine mediate this response?

Chapter 5

After reading Chapter 5 in Psychopharmacology (Meyer & Quenzer, 2018),

1) discuss the major sources of norepinephrine in the fore-brain and in the peripheral nervous system.

2) What is the “fight or flight” response? How do epinephrine and norepinephrine mediate this response?

3) How can this knowledge be helpful for a client who experiences debilitating anxiety and is self-critical of this struggle?

Reflect on how culture, race, and ethnicity impact the therapeutic process?discuss culturally-specific considerations related to working with this group of people (e.g., what should a therapist be aware of?

Culture Diversity

Reflect on how culture, race, and ethnicity impact the therapeutic process? Pick one of the cultural groups discussed in the reading, and discuss culturally-specific considerations related to working with this group of people (e.g., what should a therapist be aware of?). Also, describe 2 specific interventions/approaches that are validated for working with this population (you may need to do some research on this) and how you would apply them in treatment with a client identifying with that background. Finally, reflect on what it would be like for you, personally, given your own intersectional identity and faith to work with people from this background.

Recruitment and Selection

What are the advantages and disadvantages when technology (such as social media, web-based recruiting, E-video, gamification etc.) is used in recruiting?
Advantages:
– Cost effective recruiting
– Recruiting less time consuming
– Broader exposure and diverse pool of applicants
– Better targeting of specific audiences
– Recruiters can reach passive job seekers
• Disadvantages:
– More unqualified applicants
– Additional work for HR staff
– Many applicants are not seriously seeking employment
– Access limited or unavailable to some applicants
– Privacy of information and discrimination issues
