Light Waves

Fascinating physics facts a young scientist needs to know, from one of the most trusted teams in STEM for children! This kid-friendly introduction to the physics of light covers the basics of solar energy, the electromagnetic spectrum, photon particles, light scattering, and reflection and refraction. Readers will follow along as two children and a cow in a lab coat learn how light works in realistic and imaginative scenarios. With accessible language, grounded examples, and easy, hands-on experiments you can do with household items, David A. Adler explains the basics of how light travels and bends. Anna Raff's bright, humorous illustrations make an intimidating topic easy-- and fun!-- to understand. This colorful picture book is a perfect supplement to lessons on light waves, and a great way to explore the topic at home. Named a finalist for the AAAS/Subaru SB&F Prize for Excellence in Science Books in the Children's category, Light Waves is a must-have book for all self-professed science nerds!

Waves are vibrations that move in patterns. They are all around us-whether we can see them or not! The Catch a Wave series explains what light and sound waves are, and how they help us hear sounds, see light, and communicate with each other. A code inside the back of this book gives you access to the Student Discovery Lab at www.crabtreeplus.com/waves The animated videos and online games make learning about the light and sound waves fun! Book jacket.

A crack of lightning. The blue glow of a phone screen. A blinking firefly. The blazing sun. A camera’s rapid flash. No matter the source, light travels in waves, and it does so at a speed faster than anything else in the universe. But what is light, anyway, and how do we study it? In this book, readers in grades 4-9 will learn about light waves and light’s properties and how people–and animals–manipulate light for their own purposes. This series features a variety of science topics aligned to NGSS standards. From mixing matter to the study of sound waves, each informative book includes a glossary, comprehension questions, and an activity for home or the classroom.

This Elibron Classics title is a reprint of the original edition published by the University of Chicago Press in Chicago, 1903. This book contains color illustrations.

Explains how sound and light waves work, including such concepts as transverse waves, longitudinal waves, and electromagnetic radiation. --

This engaging title introduces readers to the science of light waves. Relatable examples, accessible text, and a creative design challenge help readers discover the properties of light waves and their essential role in seeing our world. Teacher's guide available.

In this book, a wide range of different topics related to analytical as well as numerical solutions of problems related to scattering, propagation, radiation, and emission in different medium are discussed. Design of several devices and their measurements aspects are introduced. Topics related to microwave region as well as Terahertz and quasi-optical region are considered. Bi-isotropic metamaterial in optical region is investigated. Interesting numerical methods in frequency domain and time domain for scattering, radiation, forward as well as reverse problems and microwave imaging are summarized. Therefore, the book will satisfy different tastes for engineers interested for example in microwave engineering, antennas, and numerical methods.

Principles of Electromagnetic Waves and Materials is a condensed version of the author’s previously published textbook, Electromagnetic Waves, Materials, and Computation with MATLAB®. This book focuses on lower-level courses, primarily senior undergraduate and graduate students in electromagnetic waves and materials courses. It takes an integrative approach to the subject of electromagnetics by supplementing quintessential "old-school" information and methods with the appropriate amount of material on plasmas for exposing the students to the broad area of Plasmonics and by striking a balance between theoretical and practical aspects. Ancillary materials are available upon qualifying course adoption.
