Make waves with a dripping faucet, audio speaker, or laser! Adjust frequency and amplitude, and observe the effects. Hear the sound produced by the speaker, and discover what determines the color of light.
An interactive simulation to explore and learn about the properties, behavior, and effects of waves.
11 sty 2023 · We begin our study of waves in this first unit of Physics 7C with an introduction to waves and then a thorough development of the harmonic plane wave model, which we will use extensively to model and understand a wide variety of wave phenomena.
Define amplitude, frequency, period, wavelength, and velocity of a wave; Relate wave frequency, period, wavelength, and velocity; Solve problems involving wave properties

Make waves with water, sound, and light and see how they are related. Discuss wave properties using common vocabulary. Explain how changing the frequency and amplitude affects the characteristics of the wave. Design an experiment to measure the speed of the wave.
A wave’s crest is its highest point, and its trough is its lowest point. A wave’s amplitude is the maximum distance (positive or negative) a wave reaches from its rest position. Wavelength is the distance between the same spot on two sections of a wave.
