Waves

 
   Skills

Wave phenomenon apper throughout physics in a variety of guises. It permeates an understanding of Simple Harmonic Motion, to sound and on into Electrodynamics (light). The basic principals of waves are also essential to understand the principals of Quantum Mechanics (a subtopic of modern physics). All waves have some common properties and behaviors that are worth understanding as they form the basis for so many things in Physics.
