This book discusses sound waves, light waves, and the full range of the electromagnetic spectrum, from radio waves to gamma waves.

Explores the principals of sound, light, and radiation waves, explaining how they travel and carry energy from one place to another.

The titles in this series look at physical sciences in detail. Each text includes case studies of famous scientists and their experiments, as well as technical explanations supported by examples of the application of these principles in everyday life.

Readers will explore how our senses react to traveling light and sound waves. They'll learn how humans have altered waves to do incredible things, such as building electric guitars and looking through telescopes into space. Accessible language and full-color icons, graphics, and pictograms make this the perfect introduction to scientific concepts, and it is a great solution for those who learn best by visualization.

In Waves of Light and Sound, students will learn about electromagnetic and mechanical waves, the properties of waves and sounds, pitch, amplitude, and much more. Readers will love discovering new information in this chapter book while also reinforcing learned skills with comprehension and extension activities. The Let’s Explore Science series allows readers to dive into the world of fascinating science-related topics while strengthening reading comprehension skills. Each 48-page title features full-color photographs, real-world applications, content vocabulary, and more to effectively engage young learners.

Discusses sound and light, including how the waves travel through different forms of matter, how human senses detect and analyze them, and describes electromagnetic radiation, echolocation, and optics.
