Traveling Waves

Wave Patterns are mesmerizing and Dezi and I discovered yesterday at Nelles Beach in Grimsby.  We're looking at the most common traveling wave - lake and ocean waves.  We see the wave moving through the water, looking for the crest that will give the interesting patterns on the rock.  That's where my interest lies.  However, the science of wave patterns is most interesting and the physics lesson is available at:  http://www.waterencyclopedia.com/Tw-Z/Waves.html
