Measuring how fast electromagnetic waves travel and understanding what they are like can be really fun! Here’s an easy way to do this:

1. Measuring Speed:

   • Get a microwave transmitter and a receiver.
   • You’ll measure how long it takes for a microwave signal to go a certain distance.
   • To find the speed, use this simple formula:
     • Speed (v) = Distance (d) ÷ Time (t).

2. Finding Wavelength and Frequency:

   • You can figure out the wavelength using this formula:
     • Wavelength (λ) = Speed (v) ÷ Frequency (f).

3. Looking at Properties:

   • Use polarizers to see cool things like how light waves can be lined up (polarization) and how they bounce off surfaces (reflection).

These fun activities will help you understand how electromagnetic waves work!
