Wave Motion as Inquiry The Physics and Applications of Light and Sound

A strength of inquiry-based courses is that the students maintain a higher level of engagement when they are studying a topic that they have an internal motivation to know, rather than solely following the directives of a professor. "Wave Motion" takes those threads of engagement and interest and weaves them into a coherent picture of wave phenomena. It demystifies key components of life around us-in music, in technology, and indeed in everything we perceive-even for those without a strong math background, who might otherwise have trouble approaching the subject matter.
