This physics tutorial attempts to explain the wave equation in a three-part example problem.

Students discover the difference between traveling and standing waves in this physics tutorial.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Covers three types of mechanical waves - transverse, longitudinal, and surface - and their characteristics. Includes labeled illustrations and two video animations.

This physics tutorial helps students categorize waves based on distinguishing, observable characteristics.

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.

Here is an introduction to the concept of waves and wavelike motion people experience anywhere and everywhere.

Students examine how waves are described in a manner that allows us to understand their basic nature and qualities.

Students see illustrated diagrams and animations to help them understand the pressure characteristics of a sound wave.

Students are introduced to the concept of frequency as it relates to periodic wave motion.

Through interactive practice problems and illustrations, students explore nodes and antinodes in standing waves.

Students explore and discover how sound is created through longitudinal waves.

The animation portrays a medium as a series of particles connected by springs. In this type of longitudinal wave the particles of the medium vibrate in a direction parallel to the direction of energy transport.

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

Review of how to produce beats through the constructive and destructive interference of sound waves.

This digital textbook covers core physics concepts and includes interactive features, real world examples, videos, and study guides.

This digital textbook covers core physical science concepts and includes interactive features, real world examples, and videos.

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

Use this interactive physics tutorial to introduce students to the concepts of pitch and frequency in sound waves.

Students explore intensity of sound waves and the decibel scale in this interactive physics tutorial.

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

With videos, illustrated diagrams, and informational text, students learn about sound waves as forced vibrations.

A handy resource that gives an overview of equations and definitions pertinent to an introductory, college-level physics course, with two of its three sections focusing on motion-related topics and principles.
