Speed of a WaveThe speed of a wave is the material through which it travels and the properties of the wave.
Transverse WavesTransverse waves are quite familiar, such as those on oscillating strings.
Simple Harmonic MotionSimple harmonic motion, such as for a bouncing spring, is a standard means of producing waves.
Simple Harmonic Motion and ResonanceResonance occurs when an object is pushed at the natural frequency of its wave-like motion or oscillations.
Longitudinal WavesLongitudinal waves are those where the oscillating motion and the wave motion are in the same directions, such as in sound waves.
Water WavesWaves in water are a combination of transverse and longitudinal motion.
Two-Dimensional WavesWaves on surfaces can move in two dimensions, like ripples on a pond.
