  abstract: This undergraduate textbook on the physics of wave motion in optics and acoustics avoids presenting the topic abstractly in order to emphasize real-world examples. While providing the needed scientific context, Dr. Espinoza also relies on students' own experience to guide their learning. The book's exercises and labs strongly emphasize this inquiry-based approach. 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.
  table of contents: Introduction to wave phenomena -- General characteristics of waves -- Reflection. p- Refraction -- Interference and standing waves -- Diffraction -- Polarization -- Changes in Properties of Waves. - Wave propagation and intensity variations -- Waves and sensory perception -- Forensic Applications. - Technological applications.
