This is the second webinar of our two-part series on waves and will cover light. Light is an E/M and a transverse wave. Compared to sound, light is more content-rich and has already appeared in chemistry topics like Planck’s equation and UV-vis spectrometry.  In this webinar, we will review the five properties of light, the polarization of light, the Doppler effect as applied to light, and the ever-confusing topic of optics in mirrors, lens and compound lens instruments like the microscope.

On the MCAT

  • Light is a broad topic that involves physics, biology, and chemistry. Many instruments and experiments use light. Think lasers, optical devices, imaging techniques and spectroscopy. Again, don’t confuse light and sound! These are separate waves that are easy to mix up.

Testimonial

I think these webinars are really helpful! I like how they’re styled like a TED talk, so they don’t interfere with the day, but they’re really helpful review 🙂

I found everything helpful about these webinars: the explanations, the illustrations, just everything!

Amazing material conveyed concisely and in great detail!

The wealth of information and sample questions are great.

“These 30 minute FREE, live videos conducted each Friday helped me get through the pandemic. Weike is an exceptional tutor, and being able to ask questions after she’s done was magnificent. These webinars have even helped me in class subjects such as Biochemistry.  I’m looking forward to starting one-on-one tutoring with Cambridge Coaching, and I’m already feeling confident about taking the MCAT when the time comes.”
