Light is Wavey

We’ve looked at the basic ideas of reflection and refraction.

Define amplitude, frequency and wave length.

Loosen a string and what happened to amplitude, wavelength and frequency?

What was the relationship between wavelength and frequency?

How does amplitude, wave length and frequency manifest as light?

Amplitude is intensity!

Wavelength determines colour or type of radiation.
