Wave Model of Light

The Wave Model of Light Toolkit provides teachers with standards-based resources for designing lesson plans and units that pertain to such topics as the light's wavelike behaviors, wave-particle duality, light-wave interference, and light polarization. The Toolkit is supported by Lessons 1 and 3 of the Light and Color Chapter at The Physics Classroom Tutorial.


Each toolkit can be viewed in three different ways.

  1. Wave Model of Light - HTML Version of Complete Toolkit

    The HTML version of the complete toolkit contains all the resources with full descriptions and links to their location on the web. The complete toolkit also includes learning objectives and references the pertinent standards addressed by the resources.

     

  2. Wave Model of Light - PDF Version of Complete Toolkit

    The PDF version of the complete toolkit contains all the resources with full descriptions in a printer-friendly format. Learning objectives and relevant standards are also included in the PDF Version of the complete toolkit.

     

  3. Wave Model of Light - Toolkit To Go

    The Toolkit To Go is a 2-page PDF document that provides an abbreviated version of the complete toolkit. It contains as much information as could fit on two pages. Toolkits to Go can be photo-copied back-to-back, hole-punched, and filed in a teacher's folder or three-ring binder for future reference.
