Waves -
Will and I examined the wavelengths of different waves of light. It is interesting that simple AM radio waves have a wavelength of about 1 kilometer. We found that infrared waves were shorter but still over a meter, and ultraviolet waves have a length around one millimeter. Will was able to explain these differences as we discussed how modulating the length and frequency we were able to put this type of energy to use. Will hypothesized the existence of a photic boom, much like a sonic boom, but only seen when someone else achieves travel at the speed of light. We discussed his theory, and how space travel is described in the movies. Homework: Review notes for test on Friday.
