| Mar.14 | transverse wave pulse (rope)
Energy transfer propagation: Tension cf mass/length repeat frequency => wavelength wave reflection types standing wave nodes & antinodes | water (surface) wave
Energy spreads: intensity vs distance propagation: gravity cf height ; "breakers" refract diffraction after barrier amplitude squared ; interference Huygens' principle Last Drop Friday |
