Practice using a displacement graph and wave speed to find the frequency and wavelength of a wave.

Students learn about the types of waves and how they change direction, as well as basic wave properties such as wavelength, frequency, amplitude and speed. During the presentation of lecture information on wave characteristics and...

The Sound and Light unit provides students with an understanding of sound and light waves through the theme of the "Sunken Treasure," a continuous story line throughout the lessons. In Lessons 1-5, students learn about sound, and in...

This is a list of 84 problems and exercises to solve based on the content of Chapter 17: Physics of Hearing from the AP Physics online text.

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.

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.

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...

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.
