14  Module 3: Waves and Thermodynamics

14.1 Overview

Module 3 models wave behaviour in mechanical and light systems and links microscopic motion to thermal energy. The module builds intuition for oscillations, wave interactions, and energy transfer.

14.2 Inquiry questions

  • How do waves transmit energy and information?
  • How does wave behaviour change with boundaries and media?
  • How do particles, temperature, and energy relate in thermodynamics?
