Students discover wave interference, the phenomenon that occurs when two waves meet while traveling along the same medium.

In this series of interactive physics tutorials, students will focus on the wavelike nature of light.

Students study animations and diagrams to learn about the reflection behavior of sound waves.

This interactive physics tutorial allows students to investigate the nature, properties and behaviors of sound waves and apply basic wave principles towards an understanding of music.

In this physics tutorial, focus on the refraction of light in great detail. Explore the conceptual and mathematical principles governing the bending of waves as they cross the boundary between two media.

Through illustrated examples, video clips, and practice problems, students explore what happens to waves at the boundary of different mediums.

Students investigate an example of interference that provides further evidence in support of the wavelike behavior of light.

In this illustrated physics tutorial, students learn about sound wave behaviors and apply them to the reflection, diffraction, and refraction of sound waves.
