Sophia: Electromagnetic Waves: Lesson 1

These waves aren't for surfing. Young scientists learn about electromagnetic waves and how their features affect the light people see. The video lesson describes the amplitude, frequency, and wavelength of the waves and how the...

In this interactive lesson about electromagnetic waves students will explore what they can see, what they can't, and what they know about the wave nature of this thing called "light."

This lesson will show how a particle can travel in a wave form, by following perpendicular electric and magnetic fields. It is 2 of 4 in the series titled "Electromagnetic Waves."
