Waves

Learn the key properties of waves — amplitude, wavelength, frequency, and period — and how they affect wave behavior.

Compare the motion of particles in transverse and longitudinal waves across various media.

Understand the relationship between wave speed, frequency, and wavelength.

Learn how waves combine when they overlap, creating constructive and destructive interference.

Explore how waves bounce off surfaces or pass through boundaries between media.

Understand how waves bend as they pass through materials with different densities.

Learn how sound travels through different media and what affects its speed.

Discover how the energy of sound waves relates to their perceived loudness.

Explore how interfering sound waves create beats and how harmonics shape musical tone.

Study how motion affects the observed frequency of waves from moving sources.
