Objectives:

After completing this module, students will be able to qualitatively describe sound and water waves.  Students will be able to calculate the fundamental and harmonic frequencies of wind instruments.  Students will be able to calculate the Doppler shift of sound waves for cases where either the source or the observer are in motion.

Sound waves:

• Traveling sound waves

• Standing sound waves

Water waves, the Doppler effect

Study the on-line material:

• Water waves

• The Doppler effect
