Waves in water are transverse. This means that the vibrations causing the waves are perpendicular to the direction of energy transfer. As this little boat demonstrates, you can see that the waves are ...

Explore how different coastal defense structures respond to wave action with this hands-on engineering experiment. Watch the step-by-step construction of a DIY glass wave tank and homemade wave ...

Straight wave reflection from straight barriers, 80-231, approx 3 minutes Single straight pulses are reflected from a straight barrier placed parallel to the wave front, then at 35, 45 and 55 degrees.

A ripple tank can be used to measure and calculate frequency, wavelength and the speed of waves on the water's surface. A ripple tank is a transparent shallow tray of water with a light shining down ...
