Description
This study explores an interdisciplinary strategy integrating physics and art to enhance students' understanding of the electromagnetic spectrum and the photoelectric effect. Through project-based learning, high school students analyse artworks using non-invasive spectroscopic techniques, experiment with UV light on currency security features, and explore artistic representations of electromagnetic waves. Findings show improved conceptual understanding, increased engagement, and stronger critical thinking skills. This approach demonstrates the relevance of physics beyond the classroom, fostering interdisciplinary learning and scientific inquiry. Future research could expand applications in cultural heritage and science communication.
