Properties of waves

Description

A wave transfers energy from one place to another without a (permanent) motion of the material through which it’s travelling.  In this important video, we’ll look at some of the key properties of waves and how they are transmitted through a medium.  We’ll also be discussing the physics which is relevant to the required practical activity for this part of the course.
