PHYS 200 - Fundamentals of Physics I

Lecture 19 - Waves. Waves are discussed in further detail. Basic properties of the waves such as velocity, energy, intensity, and frequency are discussed through a variety of examples. The second half of the lecture deals specifically with superposition of waves. Constructive and destructive interferences are defined and discussed. (from oyc.yale.edu)
