Introduction to Waves

An introduction to #MechanicalWaves which are defined and demonstrated. The fact that the medium is not displaced is demonstrated. Both #TransverseWaves and #LongitudinalWaves are also defined and demonstrated. Want Lecture Notes? https://www.flippingphysics.com/waves...
This is an AP Physics 1 Topic.
