    • https://phys.libretexts.org/Learning_Objects/Visualizations_and_Simulations/PhET_Simulations/PhET%3A_Wave_on_a_String
      Explore the wonderful world of waves! Even observe a string vibrate in slow motion. Wiggle the end of the string and make waves, or adjust the frequency and amplitude of an oscillator.
    • https://phys.libretexts.org/Bookshelves/University_Physics/Physics_(Boundless)/15%3A_Waves_and_Vibrations/15.3%3A_Periodic_Motion
      The period is the duration of one cycle in a repeating event, while the frequency is the number of cycles per unit time.

      The speed of a wave on a string can be found by multiplying the wavelength by the frequency or by dividing the wavelength by the period.

      The speed of a wave on a string can be found by multiplying the wavelength by the frequency or by dividing the wavelength by the period.
    • https://phys.libretexts.org/Courses/Prince_Georges_Community_College/PHY_2040%3A_General_Physics_III/02%3A_Sound/2.2%3A_Sound_Intensity_and_Level
      Sound Intensity is the power per unit area carried by a wave. Power is the rate that energy is transferred by a wave.

      Superposition occurs when two waves occupy the same point (the wave at this point is found by adding the two amplitudes of the waves).

A system that oscillates with SHM is called a simple harmonic oscillator. In simple harmonic motion, the acceleration of the system, and therefore the net force, is proportional to the displacement and acts in the opposite direction of the displacement.

Since the electric and magnetic fields in most electromagnetic waves are perpendicular to the direction in which the wave moves, it is ordinarily a transverse wave. The strengths of the electric and magnetic parts of the wave are related by EB=c, which implies that the magnetic field B is very weak relative to the electric field E.

Simple harmonic motion is the motion that a particle exhibits when under the influence of a force of the form given by Hooke's law (named for the 17th century English scientist Robert Hooke): F=kx.
