Experimenting with Electromagnetic Waves

We see, communicate, manufacture, and explore using the waves on the electromagnetic spectrum, including those in the visible, microwave, radio, and x-ray frequencies. Using your smartphone, you will explore how colors combine, and measure: the absorbance and reflection of light; your pulse using light: and the strength of microwaves that carry Wi-Fi signals.
