Users solve computational problems concerning the wavelength, frequency, and energy relationships. Fill in the missing values and submit your answers to be corrected.

In this module, students investigate the properties and behavior of different types of waves.

Students will calculate energy, frequency, or wavelength. After calculating, students graph their data and answer analysis questions.

In this thorough lesson, nodes and antinodes are explained and compared to crests and troughs. A "Check Your Understanding," set of questions is included at the end of the lesson with answers.

Students will understand and predict wave phenomena, and investigate the energy contained in waves. They will gain a deeper understanding of waves and wave interference that will enable characterization and engineering of matter from the...

Light travels as waves. Waves can be described by their amplitude, wavelength and frequency. The speed of a wave can be calculated from its frequency and wavelength.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Students investigate and analyze characteristics of waves, including velocity, and calculate the relationship between wave speed, frequency, and wavelength.

Find out how energy, frequency, and wavelength are related in terms of the electromagnetic spectrum.

This article discusses the properties of electromagnetic radiation and photons.

This lab is designed to have students investigate the relationship between the speed of a wave, the frequency of the wave and the wavelength of the wave. Students can vary wave speed and frequency. Each of these should be varied while...

In this very detailed lesson plan from NASA, students investigate wavelength and frequency within the electromagnetic spectrum.

Read about a math research project done by three college students which helps us see physics and math in music. Here's a great approach for integrating curriculum!

This program will produce the blackbody radiation curve for one or two objects when the student inputs the temperature(s) in kelvin. The program will also display on the curve the peak frequency and wavelength when one object is selected.
