Physics Tutorial: What is a Wave? - The Physics Classroom
What makes a wave a wave? What characteristics, properties, or behaviors are shared by the phenomena that we typically characterize as being a wave? How can waves be described in a manner that allows us to understand their basic nature and qualities?
Physics Tutorial: The Wave Equation
The wave speed is the distance traveled per time ratio. But wave speed can also be calculated as the product of frequency and wavelength. In this Lesson, the why and the how are explained.
Physics Tutorial: The Anatomy of a Wave - The Physics Classroom
The Simple Wave Simulator provides the learner an environment to explore the distinction between longitudinal and transverse waves, the wavelength-frequency-period relationship, sound waves as pressure waves, and much more.
Physics Tutorial: The Speed of a Wave - Physics Classroom
Like the speed of any object, the speed of a wave refers to the distance that a crest (or trough) of a wave travels per unit of time. But what factors affect the speed of a wave. In this Lesson, the Physics Classroom provides an surprising answer.
Physics Tutorial: Waves and Wavelike Motion - The Physics Classroom
Where do we see waves or examples of wavelike motion? What experiences do we already have that will help us in understanding the physics of waves? In this Lesson, numerous real-world and familiar examples of waves and wave-like systems are …
16.S: Waves (Summary) - Physics LibreTexts
A wave is a disturbance that moves from the point of origin with a wave velocity v. A wave has a wavelength \(\lambda\), which is the distance between adjacent identical parts of the wave. Wave velocity and wavelength are related to the wave’s frequency and period by v …

PHYS 200 - Lecture 19 - Waves | Open Yale Courses - Yale University
Basic properties of the waves such as velocity, energy, intensity, and frequency are discussed through a variety of examples. The second half of the lecture deals specifically with superposition of waves.
Physics Tutorial: Categories of Waves - The Physics Classroom
Waves involve a transport of energy from one location to another location while the particles of the medium vibrate about a fixed position. Two common categories of waves are transverse waves and longitudinal waves.
