    • https://phys.libretexts.org/Bookshelves/University_Physics/Physics_(Boundless)/26%3A_Wave_Optics/26.1%3A_Superposition_and_Interference
      Interference is a phenomenon in which two waves superimpose to form a resultant wave of greater or lesser amplitude.

Mechanical waves are disturbances that move through a medium and are governed by Newton’s laws. Electromagnetic waves are disturbances in the electric and magnetic fields, and do not require a medium. A transverse wave has a disturbance perpendicular to the wave’s direction of propagation, whereas a longitudinal wave has a disturbance parallel to its direction of propagation.

      Electrostatic shielding is the phenomenon that occurs when a Faraday cage blocks the effects of an electric field.

Light is one form of this electromagnetic radiation. The wavelength of light determines the color of visible radiation. Wavelength (λ) is related to frequency (f) and the speed of light (c) by the equation c = λf. Electromagnetic radiation sometimes behaves like waves, but at other times, it behaves as if it were a particle- called a photon.

      Wave motion transfers energy from one point to another, usually without permanent displacement of the particles of the medium.

Since the electric and magnetic fields in most electromagnetic waves are perpendicular to the direction in which the wave moves, it is ordinarily a transverse wave. The strengths of the electric and magnetic parts of the wave are related by EB=c, which implies that the magnetic field B is very weak relative to the electric field E.

Additionally, include a creative project component where students create a digital story or a simple animation that explains a concept related to light and color, using AI tools to enhance their projects.
