Young’s Double Slit Experimentmodels light as a wave.
An electromagnetic wave is a
transverse wave.
The speed of light in a
vacuum:
c = 3.0E8m/s

Example: A radio wave has a wavelength
of 2.8653m. What is the frequency?
In MHz?
The frequency of infrared waves is 3.0E14Hz and
the frequency of X-rays is 6.0E17Hz. Calculate the
wavelength of both of these types of
electromagnetic waves.
How does the energy of X-rays compare to infrared
waves?
