The Physics Education Group at the University of Washington has been developing and modifying research-based instructional materials on waves and physical optics.1 In particular, we continue to assess the persistence of certain student difficulties regarding wave behavior at the boundary between different media. New research questions have helped us examine the effect of providing students with additional practice in applying boundary conditions in the more advanced context of thin-film interference.
