This YouTube video delves into the impact that tourism can have on a country's economy.

There are many different processes and phenomena that emit electromagnetic radiation. Humans have taken advantage of many of these processes to develop technologies that use electromagnetic radiation.

This YouTube video delves into the impact that tourism can have on the environment.

The beauty of a coral reef, the warm radiance of sunshine, the sting of sunburn, the X-ray revealing a broken bone, even microwave popcorn—all are brought to us by electromagnetic waves. The list of the various types of electromagnetic waves, ranging from radio transmission waves to nuclear gamma-ray (γ-ray) emissions, is interesting in itself.

Even more intriguing is that all of these different phenomena are manifestations of the same thing—electromagnetic waves (see Figure 15.1). What are electromagnetic waves? How are they created, and how do they travel? How can we understand their widely varying properties? What is the relationship between electric and magnetic effects? These and other questions will be explored.

Photoelectric materials emit electrons when they absorb light of a high-enough frequency.

This online interactive lesson discusses what reflections are and provides examples of reflections.

This online lesson explains what rotations are.

This video will look at rotation. Rotation involves turning a shape around a set point.

In this lesson you will learn about:

1. Enlargement and reduction of shapes using a scale factor.
2. Reflection of geometric shapes.
3. Translation of geometric shapes.
4. Rotation of geometric shapes.

This online lesson explores the concept of translations.
