Abstract
Physics learning is taught to equip students with knowledge and understanding of various natural phenomena. In order to improve comprehensive understanding of waves principle for student class of XI, we implement science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) in physics learning by using theremin based light dependent resistor (LDR). In this paper, theremin as music instrumental non-contact will be used as teaching aid. Physics understanding of the students will be observe and investigated during a class. Analyses will be focus on adjustment of frequency will provide pitch of tones. As results, by theremin, student will have better understanding of waves principles.
