Waves

The invisible world of Sound Waves and Light Waves allow us to perceive, interpret and interact with the world in which we live. Learn how to navigate Transverse and Longitudinal Waves and attain the necessary skills to identify frequencies on the Electromagnetic Spectrum. Each wave has a unique quality with a specific output, yet there are areas of Wave Interference that affect the natural state. Predict Wave Speed by analyzing the different aspects of interference. Physics and Physical Sciences come together to comprise the comprehensive topic of the Doppler Effect. Whether you are learning the introductory concepts or mastering more advanced levels, Waves offers a wide range of levels and concepts that will challenge your skill set.
