Waves science

Free physics topical resources

Sound has both volume and pitch. Volume is seen as an increase in amplitude of the sound wave. Pitch is seen as a change in the frequency of the sound wave.

What are longitudinal wavesIn this case, Individual particles of wave move in direction of propagation of wavesIn easy language, particles of medium move back and forth (left and right) making nearby particles of medium vibrateExampleIf we stretch a slinky, it moves left and right (in the direction

Find out about the various types of waves. What types of waves are sound, electromagnetic, brain, seismic, mechanical, and surface waves.

These resources help students learn about the properties of waves, including wavelength, amplitude, frequency, and speed. They include doodle sheets, visual notes, and

Seismic waves are waves that travel through or over Earth. They are usually generated by movements of the Earth's tectonic plates (earthquakes) but may also be caused by explosions, volcanoes and landslides. They can tell us much about the Earth's structure.
