Chapter 17 & 18: Waves and Electromagnetic Spectrum
This unit is about the characteristics of waves (wavelength, amplitude, frequency, etc) and about the electromagnetic spectrum. We will see if tin cans connected with a string really transmit sound, use tuning forks to investigate how sound waves are created, and learn how you could see in the dark.
