Wave MechanicsWaves are everywhere in nature - and I mean everywhere. Light waves. Sound waves. Water waves. Brain waves.The surprising/astonishing/amazing thing is; all types of waves are almost identical in behaviour. If you truly understand the behaviour of water waves - the way they interact with each other, the exact way the ripples 'curve' around obstacles - then you can have no trouble understanding accoustics, the propagation of light, or even basic quantum mechanics. When I say 'identical,' I don't mean this metaphorically. All waves in nature really are mathematically identical! Learn about: The Two Classes of Waves Sine (sinusoidal) Waves what are they?
