Students investigate an example of interference that provides further evidence in support of the wavelike behavior of light.

To understand how bounded waves behave and how reflection of waves affects the wave components.

In this experiment, students construct models of larger red and smaller blue waves on index cards, and use them to investigate how light behaves when it is reflected off the front and the back of soap film.

This site from Architectural Acoustics and Lighting provides a discussion of various factors affecting the acoustics of a given room. Room dimensions, the wavelength of the sound wave, the physical characteristics of the walls, the...
