Kids learn about the behavior of light as a wave in the science of physics including reflection, refraction, and diffraction.

Students learn the basic properties of light--the concepts of light absorption, transmission, reflection and refraction, as well as the behavior of light during interference. Lecture information briefly addresses the electromagnetic...

The discovery of radio waves, which was widely seen as confirmation of James Clerk Maxwell's electromagnetic theory and paved the way for numerous advances in communication technology, was made by German physicist Heinrich Hertz. In the...

This page and the many pages which are indexed to focus on the behaviors of sound which characterize it as a wave. Reflection, refraction, interference, diffraction and more are clearly illustrated and explained.

[Free Registration/Login Required] This flipchart introduces fifth grade students to what sound waves do when they encounter an object. Topics covered include diffraction, reflection, absorption, and the Doppler Effect. An assessment is...
