Instructional Ideas
- Post the video after the lesson about making calculations based on wavelength, frequency, and speed of light for pupils to access if they need a reminder
Classroom Considerations
- Assumes an understanding of the formula wavelength x frequency = speed
- YouTube video requires Internet access
- The fourth in a series of 14 lessons
- This video is hosted on YouTube
Pros
- Quick and clear explanation of using the formula
- Includes units that need converting
Cons
- Seems to make a leap in concepts from the previous lessons in the series
