Mechanical Waves and Sound
Study Guide Overview
This study guide covers mechanical waves, including topics like period, amplitude, frequency, velocity, and wavelength. It explores wave behavior such as interference, nodes, and antinodes, and relates these concepts to sound and musical instruments. Note: This unit (Unit 10) is not tested on the AP Physics 1 exam.
