Introduction to Waves

A basic explanation of sound and water waves. The JAVA Applet allows you to change the amplitude of the wave (its height), the wavelength (the distance from one wave top, or crest, to the next) and ...

Waves

A Java applet showing two types of wave - transverse and longitudinal. Transverse waves include all electromagnetic [radio, radar, i.r., visible, u.v., X-rays], and longitudinal waves are sound waves.
