For review and visualization:

Ch. 15: Traveling Wave – continuous - Each point on a traveling wave undergoes simple harmonic motion.

Ch. 15: Traveling Wave – single period- View a snapshot (above) and the history (below) of a traveling wave over one period.

Ch. 15: Ripple Tank - Vary frequency, amplitude. Check out 3D.

Ch. 15: Doppler Effect - Drag mouse to indicate velocity of the source of waves.

Ch. 31: Electromagnetic wave - Electric & magnetic fields, generated by a moving charge, are transverse to direction of propagation.

Ch. 15, 34: Standing wave - A simple example of interference.

Ch. 34: Interference Movie - Click on “Atomic Lab.” Scroll down to “Interfering Waves” movie.
