Summary:

In this interactive activity adapted from the University of Utah’s ASPIRE Lab, learn about wavelength. Use a ruler to measure the distance from crest to crest on a simple waveform to find its wavelength. Then, investigate how wavelength varies across the electromagnetic spectrum and how the colors of visible light are related to wavelength.
