This item is an interactive Java simulation on electromagnetic radiation, the family of wave-like phenomena which includes visible light. Students control amplitude and wavelength to explore how electromagnetic waves are propagated. Included is a detailed text tutorial.
This item is part of a larger collection of reference materials and simulations on electricity and magnetism developed by See Related Materials on this page for links to additional materials by the authors.
