Lecture 26: Wave motion
Objectives: In this lecture, students will learn to- distinguish between transverse and longitudinal waves
- analyze traveling waves in terms of wave length, frequency, and wave speed
- distinguish between wave speed and transverse speed
- relate the speed of a wave on a string to properties of the string
- solve problems involving the Doppler effect
