Beautiful real-life imagery is used to illustrate different characteristics of waves including amplitude, wavelength, and frequency. Various types of waves are illustrated using definitions and explanations. The basic interactions between waves, reflection, refraction, diffraction, and interference are clearly illustrated using-captivating imagery. Important concepts discussed include: mechanical, electromagnetic, transverse, surface, and longitudinal waves, vibration, crest, trough, amplitude, wavelength, frequency, reflection, refraction, diffraction, and interference.
