To identify the different parts of a wave. To be able to understand the different graphs used for waves. A transverse wave is one in which the vibrations of the particles are perpendicular (at right ...

One of the most basic things students do in a physics lab is to collect data and use that to build a model. Most of these models come in the form of a mathematical function. But here is the problem.

Waves transfer energy from one place to another. Light from the Sun travels through space and through the atmosphere, transferring energy to the Earth and other planets. Sound travels from a ...
