By the end of this section, you will be able to define pitch; describe the relationship between the speed of sound, its frequency, and its wavelength; describe the effects on the speed of sound as it travels through various media; and...

Students will calculate energy, frequency, or wavelength. After calculating, students graph their data and answer analysis questions.

A thorough explanation of the wave equation (Speed = Wavelength * Frequency). A data table and questions to check one's understanding are also part of this lesson.

This physics tutorial explores forced vibration. Includes links to natural frequency, standing wave patterns and fundamental frequency and harmonics.

This online exploration provides an opportunity to identify the different properties of waves and the relationship that exists between energy, wavelength, and frequency. Correlate images from the Hubble Telescope to the wavelength,...

This site from Architectural Acoustics and Lighting provides a discussion of various factors affecting the acoustics of a given room. Room dimensions, the wavelength of the sound wave, the physical characteristics of the walls, the...

Boundary behavior, incident pulse, reflected pulse,and transmitted pulse are explained in this thorough tutorial. Animation and drawings are used to clarify the concepts.

From a course titled "Structure and Interpretation of Signals and Systems." A discussion of the entire radio spectrum, listing wavelength and frequency values for its various parts. The uses of each region of the radio spectrum is...

This site from Georgia State University discusses the location of visible light on the electromagnetic spectrum. Includes the wavelength values for various colors of light within the visible light spectrum.

This hypertext physics course page illustrates and explains the Doppler effect. Users perform practice calculations for frequency shifts using the Doppler equation.

Incredible set of animations demonstrating the Doppler effect and shockwaves resulting from supersonic aircraft.

Acting as part of an overview on quantum theory, this section of the site answers the question, what is a wave? In addition to a definition, several examples and formulas are provided.
