There are no major errors or omissions regarding the simpler details and processes.
The student will:
recalls specific terminology such as: visible light, wavelength, frequency, amplitude, absorb, reflect, opaque, translucent, transparent, refract
identify wavelengths of EM spectrum in order of wavelength and frequency
identify common uses and/or applications of electromagnetic waves.
identify the relative speed of light through a vacuum and different materials.
identify light reflection, refraction, and absorption of light waves.
However, the student exhibits major errors or omissions regarding the more complex ideas and processes.
