Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
Gr. 4^-7. This short, colorful book is packed with easy-to-understand scientific principles about wave theory. Skurzynski speaks the language of the young reader by starting her discussion with that most familiar wave--the ocean wave. Moving quickly to radio waves and on up the spectrum, the book illustrates in plain language and with common examples how each of the electromagnetic waves affects our lives. Principles behind radios, microwave ovens, television remote controls, rainbows, black lights, sunburn, and X rays are all explained. The last part of the book discusses what the study of waves throughout the universe can tell us. Radio telescopes on earth and in orbit are providing new information at an astonishing rate. A great source for beginning research as well as an interesting read for the inquiring young mind. Glossary. Susan DeRonne
