Wave Phenomena
Waves are simply a way that energy is transferred from one place to another.
Whether they are mechanical waves such as waves in the ocean, a wave in a spring and sound waves, or electromagnetic waves, such as radio waves for x-rays, they all share similar features and properties. In the series of lessons, we discuss their features and importantly what happens when waves interact.
Start by watching this video which gives a broad overview of the study of waves and allows you to see how the various concepts are into related. It may also be useful to watch this video as a review exercise after you have studied all the key components involving wave physics.
