    CH 14 Waves and Sound

    This document summarizes key concepts about waves and sound. It defines wavelength and frequency. It describes the relationships between wavelength, frequency, speed, and period for transverse and longitudinal waves. It provides relevant equations for calculating speed, wavelength, frequency, and period. It distinguishes between transverse waves, longitudinal waves, and harmonic waves. It also summarizes concepts about sound waves including speed of sound, factors that determine pitch, and the Doppler effect. Finally, it covers concepts of superposition, interference, standing waves, and characteristics of waves in hollow structures depending on whether they are open or closed at one or both ends.
