Electromagnetic Spectrum

Inquiry question: What is light? 

Light: Wave Model

Inquiry question: What evidence supports the classical wave model of light and what predictions can be made using this model? 

Light: Quantum Model

Inquiry question: What evidence supports the particle model of light and what are the implications of this evidence for the development of the quantum model of light? 

Light and Special Relativity

Inquiry question: How does the behaviour of light affect concepts of time, space and matter?
