Mystery Science Seminars: The Electromagnetic Spectrum and Me

Mystery Science Seminars: The Electromagnetic Spectrum and Me will include the effects of various wavelengths across the entire spectrum. Students will operate several cameras in visible, near-infrared, and mid-infrared wavelengths as well as a high speed camera to slow down everyday objects, such as a mousetrap, to fully understand how they operate. This seminar will include some reinforcement from the first seminar in the areas of phosphorescence and luminescence. Students will measure the strength of phosphorescent and luminescent items such as minerals and food items.
