Exploring Properties of Waves

Go beyond the standard textbooks and take learning to the next level. Take part in scientific explorations, interactive exercises—and do it all right there on your device!

Study the variables that define a way. Learn about frequency, wavelength, amplitude, period and velocity. Use a simulator to generate waves with different characteristics. Discover the difference between distance and time graphs when representing waves.

• Use a simulator to generate waves with different variables.
• Mark frequency, wavelength, amplitude, period and velocity on wave graphs.
• Discover the relationships between wavelength, period and frequency.
• Explore how changing a variable affects other variables of a wave.

App features:
• Manipulate a simulator to study all properties of waves.
• See how each new wave looks in distance and time graphs.
• Watch animations that explain the concepts.
• Test your knowledge with interactive tasks and quizzes.
