This handout is a set of notes with exercises meant to introduce Physics students to the nature of light, specifically its wave-like properties. It was designed to be a primer on some aspects of light that will be seen in a modern physics unit but could be used in any instance where students are being introduced to light as a wave. The major topics featured:

1. Wave feature introduction (Amplitude,Frequency,Period, Wavelength)

2. Electromagnetic Spectrum and classification

3. Energy of light based on frequency

4. Discussion of Doppler effect
