Wave properties and the electromagnetic spectrum

The main lesson, then each kind of problem it solves.

Wave properties and the electromagnetic spectrum

Main lesson
Colors of visible light
Use this for “Which color of light has the longest wavelength?” and “How many waves of green light fit in one millimeter?”
Wave speed: frequency times wavelength
Use this for “A wave on a rope has a frequency of 2 Hz and a wavelength of 1.5 m. How fast does it travel?”
The spectrum from longest wave to shortest
Use this for “Order these waves from longest wavelength to shortest.”
Louder, or higher pitched?
Use this for “How do the vibrations compare for a louder sound versus a higher-pitched one?”
Digital or analog signal?
Use this for “Why are digitized signals a more reliable way to store and send information?”
