Basic Electromagnetic Wave Properties
Students can adjust the wavelength (and simultaneously, the frequency) of waves. " The new values for wavelength and frequency appear above the sliders, the wave color changes to match the value for visible light associated with the wavelength, and the energy associated with the wave appears beneath the tutorial window. The amplitude of the wave can be adjusted with the Amplitude slider."
This is an interactive activity that allows students to show a correlation between wavelength, frequency, and amplitude.
