Introduction to electromagnetic waves

In these videos and articles you'll learn about the different categories of the electromagnetic spectrum; radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible, ultraviolet, x-ray, and gamma ray. You'll also learn what it means for light to be polarized, and how polarized light can allow for the creation of 3D movies.

Interference of electromagnetic waves

In these videos and articles you'll learn how overlapping light waves can cause constructive and destructive interference. Some examples of light interference that will be discussed include Young's double slit interference, single slit interference, and thin film interference.
