This tutorial uses wave on a string and sound wave analogies to prepare students for learning about EM waves. This activity is the result of several semesters of research on student use of analogies in learning about EM waves. It is aimed at calculus-based physics students, but might be appropriate for other levels. Associated PhET simulations can be found here: https://phet.colorado.edu/en/simulation/sound and https://phet.colorado.edu/en/simulation/wave-on-a-string
