Making Waves Activity One: Getting Energized

The wavelength of light is related to its energy. Adjust the energy level, and see how the waves change.

To get the frequency, count the number of waves that pass any given point in one second (the whole display equals to 1 second). Using the ruler, measure the wavelength.

What happens to the wavelength when the energy is increased?

When the energy is increased, the wavelength

increases decreases

and the frequency

increases decreases

When the energy is increased, the wavelength
	increases	decreases
and the frequency
	increases	decreases
