Useful External Resources
These are few websites useful for revision
here for online series of physics textbooks eg on vibration and waves that you can download.
Physics simulations/ java applets
http://www.surendranath.org/Apps.html Waves and other general physics java applets
http://hypertextbook.com/physics/waves/
http://www.easyphysics.net/ - this is a good website, it has definition, examples and quiz that can test your knowdlegde when studying for this paper..would recommend to use - rpra099
For information on Types of Waves, Doppler effect, Sound Waves, Harmonics and more! -http://www.learningincontext.com/PiC-Web/chapt08.htm
For a list of Physics formula and values check this out: http://www.collegeboard.com/prod_downloads/ap/students/physics/info_equation_tables_2002.pdf
What is a wave? http://www.kettering.edu/~drussell/Demos/waves-intro/waves-intro.html
For some questions on waves as well as plenty of other information on waves take a look at this: http://id.mind.net/~zona/mstm/physics/waves/waves.html I thought it was pretty awesome =)
For a good explanation and a cool simulation of harmonic waves, check out this website: http://www.glenbrook.k12.il.us/gbssci/Phys/mmedia/waves/harm1.html
good waves experiments on this one http://www.practicalphysics.org/go/Topic_1.html?topic_id=1
Video on waves http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJZdNKfLc-g rlei021
Specific information on standing waves http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/Hbase/waves/standw.html
http://www.answers.com/Interference+of+waves?cat=technology
Some useful information about heat http://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/heat-work-energy-d_292.html
http://www.sparknotes.com/testprep/books/sat2/physics/chapter12section1.rhtml- very useful website, has explanations and examples aswell, but it directes you to the Heat and Temperature page which is not waves..the waves address is http://www.sparknotes.com/testprep/books/sat2/physics/chapter17.rhtml and from there you can click on any of the sections in Chapter 17 you wish to study for. i will leave the other address for study for the heat and temperature section :) (rpra099)
Wave on Wikipedia - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waves#The_wave_equation
Resources for Interference of Waves---http://dev.physicslab.org/Document.aspx?doctype=3&filename=WavesSound_BasicWaveInterference.xml
A cool video showing the animation of two waves colliding http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PCYv0_qPk-4 And on a lighter note... check out this guys 'physics rap' http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iGZXhUeLh90
A great Physics tutorial site which can help with revising on waves: http://www.glenbrook.k12.il.us/gbssci/Phys/Class/waves/u10l1a.html
An interesting demonstration on Brownian Motion - http://www.aip.org/history/einstein/brownian.htm
Here is a interesting site which shows what is light, and more details about light - http://science.howstuffworks.com/light2.htm
Explanation of Brownian Motion and a Java Application example: http://www.phy.ntnu.edu.tw/ntnujava/index.php?topic=24

How to make your own wave - http://www.cofc.edu/CGOInquiry/pdf_files/learnhowtomakewaves.pdf >it's good to know how to make waves ... but not very useful for prepar for the coming exam. mche181
Difference between Transverse waves and Longitudinal waves: http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/sound/tralon.html
Features of the waves - http://physics-animations.com/Physics/English/wave_txt.htm
To understand waves in physics - http://www.tiscali.co.uk/reference/encyclopaedia/hutchinson/m0006049.html
The website resource covers waves, optics, mechanics, thermodynamics and electricity, it has videos to explain the theory http://physics-animations.com/Physics/English/index.htm
http://www.glenbrook.k12.il.us/GBSSCI/PHYS/CLASS/sound/soundtoc.html THIS IS A PHYSICS CLASSROOM TUTORIAL. IT HAS REALLY GOOD RESOURCES ON WAVES
The example of waves (harmonics)=http://dev.physicslab.org/Document.aspx?doctype=3&filename=WavesSound_ResonancePipes.xml This is a very good site showing open and closed pipes when sound wave goes through it Jlai036

This is a helpful revision website, its pretty handy and dandy: science.jrank.org/pages/3630/Interference.html
Information on a wide variety of physical science topics: http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/hframe.html
This is a fun simulation that shows how interference works: http://www.falstad.com/wavebox/
this is a useful animation which demonestrate the interference of water waves. http://www.ngsir.netfirms.com/englishhtm/Interference.htm
