Introduction To Waves
Understanding Waves – Made Easy by Learning Den There are two main types of waves: Transverse waves (e.g. light): Particles move up and down Longitudinal waves (e.g. sound): Particles move back and forth Key wave properties: Amplitude: How far the wave moves from the rest position Wavelength: Distance of one full wave (crest to crest or trough to trough) Time Period (T): Time for one complete oscillation Frequency (f): Number of waves per second
Formula: f = 1/T These concepts are…

Seismic Waves: How Earthquakes Move Through the Earth - Lesson
Students learn about the types of seismic waves produced by earthquakes and how they move through the Earth. The dangers of earthquakes are presented as well as the necessity for engineers to design structures for earthquake-prone areas that are able to withstand the forces of seismic waves. Students learn how engineers build shake tables that simulate the ground motions of the Earth caused by seismic waves in order to test the seismic performance of buildings.
The Physics of Sound
This is a powerpoint I made for our reference. It contains the basic physics of sound - key words, how it travels, etc. It could also be used as the slide for the first lecture. -Julia I do not own the pictures used in these slides. Most of the information was taken from http://www.physicsclassroom.com/class/sound/.
