The energy transport phenomenon and amplitude are explored in this lesson. Questions are found at the end of the lesson to check understanding of the concepts presented.

This physics tutorial helps students categorize waves based on distinguishing, observable characteristics.

Students examine how waves are described in a manner that allows us to understand their basic nature and qualities.

Students explore the energy transport phenomenon that transports energy along a medium without transporting matter.

An explanation of and animation depicting the propagation of an electromagnetic wave through a material medium.

Students will focus on the interaction of sunlight with atmospheric particles to produce blue skies and red sunsets.
