p wave in air velocity

0.3km/s

p wave in water velocity

1.5km/s

relationship between wavelength and time

wavelength=distance

period=time

wave dispersion

variation of velocity with frequency

high frequency content vs. low frequency content

high frequency=high relolution

and vice versa

Fermat's principal

basically ray takes fastest path

Huygens princple

every point on a wavefront can be considered a source for more circular waves.

Attenuation

the gradual loss in intensity of any kind of flux through a medium
