Properties of Wave Pulses and Waves

This study guide covers waves in AP Physics 2, including energy transfer by waves, wave pulses vs. continuous waves, and mechanical vs. electromagnetic waves, as well as transverse vs. longitudinal waves. It explores wave properties such as wave speed (including formulas for strings and electromagnetic waves), amplitude, and the relationship between amplitude and energy. The guide also provides exam tips, common pitfalls, practice multiple-choice and free-response questions with answers, and scoring breakdowns.
