NOVA: A Self-Guided Tour Of The Electromagnetic Spectrum

Physics Education

Although you might not think of them in this way, you are in possession of two extraordinary antennas, perfectly tuned to receive a narrow band of electromagnetic radiation. These antennas are not attached to any radio but rather to your brain. They're your eyes, and they receive signals that fall in the range of visible light. Light, heat, radio transmissions, and medical X-rays may not seem all that similar, yet they are all forms of electromagnetic radiation -- waves moving through space (not just outer space) that have an electric and magnetic component and are delivered by massless particles called photons. The only thing that differentiates one type of electromagnetic radiation from any other is the energy carried by its photons. There's lots to discover in the electromagnetic spectrum. Here's a tour that begins with radio waves and takes you through microwaves, infrared radiation, light, ultraviolet radiation, and X-rays. The tour ends with gamma rays, the potentially deadly radiation discussed in the program Death Star.

About BeeGames social

Playground and Play together are the BeeGames social layer — so you're never just playing alone.

What is a Playground?

Your Playground is your own personal game homepage. Pin the games you love, give it a name and a short bio, then make it public to share your personal arcade with anyone.

How do I use my Playground?

On any game page, tap “Playground” to pin that game. Head to My Playground to edit its name, bio and layout, then share your public link with friends.

What is Play together?

Play together lets you co-play the same game with friends in real time. Open a game room and everyone can play side by side while chatting in the room — like crowding around one screen, online.

How do I play with friends?

Tap “Play together” on a game page, pick a public room or a private one with a password, then share the room link with friends. You can also browse and join open rooms from the Lobby.
