Distinguish between transverse and longitudinal waves, understanding that they transfer energy and information without transferring matter.
Apply concepts of water waves and sound waves to analyze wave properties.
Explore the continuous spectrum of electromagnetic waves and their various properties and uses.
Investigate the hazards associated with specific electromagnetic waves and their implications for biological risks.
Conduct practical investigations to study waves in a ripple tank and a metal rod, and examine infrared radiation emitted or absorbed by different surfaces.
Understand the properties of the electromagnetic spectrum to explain environmental phenomena such as the greenhouse effect.
