Extra-Extra!

I See the Light Due: the first day I see you after break.

For the remainder of this semester, we will study Electromagnetic Waves and Atomic Physics which will complete our study of light. For those that have the time, pursue the extra assignment. I suggest working with others especially if you are less experienced with using tools, but don't waste your time and certainly don't get hurt.

This activity is based on the Exploratorium Activity: Build Your Own Spectroscope. Feel free to find other build ideas, but I personally know the Exploratorium Spectroscope works. If you find a useful class resource, or need assistance, please post and respectfully respond to your classmates comments.

Have a safe and restful break!
