Introduction
This section of Wave Express is to give you a general idea of a typical wave. It explains the difference between a transverse and longitudinal wave and gives examples of where you might see, hear or feel both types of waves. There are certain set ways a wave behaves when encountering an object or another wave. These behavior patterns are explained with illustrated examples, in order to cater to multiple learning styles. The terms and concepts explained in this section must be grasped before you can make an attempt to understand light and sound waves.
It is important to understand the basic concepts and waves in general if you are curious about light and sound waves. This is the reasoning behind this section of Wave Express. We hope that you will have gained enough knowledge of the terminology and about the phase relationships of a wave from this section to relate them to your daily life.
