Study the properties of waves, including types of waves, wave behaviors, and the principles of optics, such as reflection, refraction, and the behavior of light.
Waves and Optics 1. Introduction to Waves Waves are a way in which energy is transferred from one place to another. They can be categorized as mechanical waves (require a medium to propagate) or electromagnetic waves (do not need a medium). Types of mechanical waves include transverse waves (oscillate perpendicular to the direction of energy transfer) and longitudinal waves (oscillate parallel to...…
