Vibrations and Waves

The Physics credentials document competencies in areas related to mechanics, materials, gasses and liquids, heating and cooling, acoustics, optics, electricity, and magnetism, radiation and nuclear physics, architecture, and a variety of related research and education areas. Specifically, this badge demonstrates the earner's ability to explain physics concepts by applying knowledge and solving problems related to vibrations and waves including wave characteristics, wave motion and speed, interference, the Doppler Effect, bow waves, and shock waves.
