Series and Parallel Circuits: How to Analyze Any Circuit in Physics Two Ways to Connect Components Every electrical circuit you will ever encounter, from the simplest flashlight to the most complex computer motherboard, is built from combinations of just two fundamental connection types: series and parallel. Everything else in circuit analysis, no matter how complicated…
A transverse wave doesn’t push forward — it shakes sideways. From light traveling across the universe to a guitar string vibrating under your fingers, transverse waves move energy perpendicular to their direction of travel. Understand them, and you unlock the physics behind everything you see and hear.
There’s one equation at the heart of everything waves do — v = fλ. It connects wave speed, frequency, and wavelength in a relationship so clean it applies to every wave in the universe, from sound bouncing off walls to light crossing the vacuum of space. The medium sets the speed. The source sets the frequency. And the wavelength adjusts automatically to keep the equation balanced. Once you understand that, wave physics stops being confusing.
