Learning about waves can have its ups and downs, but a demo-packed tool kit has the class "standing" for more! Learners gain experience with several different wave types, organizing observations and data, and wave...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Explore the characteristics and behaviors of energy transferred by transverse waves.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] What a transverse wave is, its crests and troughs and what an S wave is.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] In this learning module, compare characteristics and behaviors of transverse waves, including electromagnetic waves.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Students can use this module to find out what a longitudinal wave is and how it differs from a transverse wave.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] By watching video clips, doing interactives, and reading text, students discover how mechanical waves transfer energy and how the waves require a medium to propagate...

By the end of this section, you will be able to describe various characteristics associated with a wave and differentiate between transverse and longitudinal waves.

Through informational text, interactive activities, and practice problems, students learn about the properties of waves, and how they transfer energy.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] What wavelength is and how it relates to the energy of a wave.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Students investigate the fundamentals of light including its source, how it is defined for measurements, how we perceive color, and the situations that make an...
