<section>
<p>Waves occur frequently in nature. The most obvious examples are waves in water, on a dam, in the ocean, or in a bucket. We are interested in the properties that waves have. All waves have the same properties.</p>
<p>Waves do not only occur in water, they occur in any kind of medium. Earthquakes release enough energy to create waves that are powerful enough to travel through the rock of the Earth. When your friend speaks to you <em>sound waves</em> are produced that travel through the air to your ears. A wave is simply the disturbance of a medium by moving energy but how is it different from a pulse?</p>

Introducing Transverse Waves

Physics is a science discipline concerned with the nature and properties of matter and energy. Physics topics include mechanics, heat, light and radiation, sound, electricity, magnetism, the structure of atoms, and so on.

Physics

Learn about the characteristics, properties, and behaviors of mechanical waves and sound, including transverse and longitudinal pulses, waves, and their superposition, as well as the speed, wavelength, amplitude, and frequency of sound waves, Doppler effect, and more in this tutorial.
