Students examine the concept of frequency and wavelength. They analyze how frequency and wavelength relate to each other by conducting an experiment involving measuring and timing wavelengths by pulling adding machine tape through an...

Students investigate the components of white light as viewed through a prism. The multiple colors of the spectrum produced are related to wavelengths and experienced through the creation of a color wheel.

In this electromagnetic spectrum activity, students review all regions of the spectrum in order from longest to shortest wavelength. Students list all possible values for specific quantum numbers. This activity has 20 problems to solve.

In this light waves learning exercise, students will measure the wavelength of different light waves and then calculate its frequency. This learning exercise has 9 short answer questions and 10 fill in the blank questions.

In this physics worksheet, students observe white light through a spectroscope and describe what they see. Then they observe fluorescent light with the spectroscope and describe what they see. Students also describe why it is important...

In this atoms worksheet, students determine the velocity, wavelength, power, and frequency of given atoms. Student describe wave-particle duality and give the principle and angular quantum numbers for given orbitals. This worksheet has...

Students perform a simulation of the workings of an electron microscope to discover that the resolution will need to improved to detect objects in the nano-scale. They use wooden dowels as detectors to determine the shape of objects in...

Students demonstrate sound waves and make changes in the waves resulting in changes in pitch. Students associate changes in pitch in various "musical instruments"with size and shape and the sound waves they produce.

Student describes what happens to the color of a stove burner or a coal as it gets hotter. They use the applet to determine what range of temperatures range give you a red light, what range of temperatures would give you a white light,...
