The Wave Nature of Light - SENIOR PHYSICS - This physics lesson package discusses the wave nature of light including what light waves look like, the universal wave equation, reflection vs refraction, and Snell's Law. It is geared toward students who are in high school physics - senior.

This package includes the lesson (student and teacher versions of the presentation), TWO videos embedded into the presentation, and a student lesson handout as a document. The presentation is fun and applicable with many opportunities for inquiry-based learning and discussion.

In order, the lesson covers:

• Waves
• Light
• Describing Waves
• Universal Wave Equation
• Properties of Waves
• Types of Reflection
• Prisms and White Light

Google and Distance Learning Ready

• This lesson includes both Office and Google formats for ALL resources. The presentation is in PowerPoint and Google Slides while all documents contain Word and Google Doc versions.
• Your resource is perfect for distance learning and integrates seamlessly with Google Classroom as I've included a link that will automatically create a copy of the resources and put them directly into your Google Drive with one click.
• Purchase --> Open --> Click --> Assign to your students

Having both options allows you to use either without worrying about formatting issues as all the work has already been done for you. It safeguards you in case your department or school decides to go Google 100% and allows you as well as your students to access everything no matter where you are or what kind of equipment is being used.

Within the unit - Light and Waves you can find the following lesson packages:

Lesson 1 - Light - Properties and Production

Lesson 2 - The Wave Nature of Light

Lesson 3 - Diffraction and interference of waves

Lesson 4 - The Polarization of Light

Lesson 5 - Diffraction Grating

The student version of the presentation contains multiple blanks that need to be filled in throughout the lesson. These blanks are conveniently underlined and bolded on the teacher copy. I have found this to be the most effective means of keeping my students engaged and active without having them write everything out. This also leaves more time for discussion and activities.
