Introduction

In properties of waves, refers to what a wave can unergo.Some of these properties are reflection,refraction,diffraction and interference.

Look at the picture below of a ripple tank and waves produced. Ripple tank can produce plane and circular waves.When rippler is attached with a spherical ball and lowered so that it just touch the surface of water,circular waves are produced.Plane waves are produced when the plane rippler is used.
