In this Jack Westin MCAT Podcast, Mike & Molly dive into one of the most tested MCAT Physics topics: Waves 🌊

We break down the essentials (and the traps) so you stop guessing and start getting points ✅

You’ll learn:

🌊 What a wave actually is (energy transfer, not matter)

↕️ Transverse vs longitudinal waves (easy examples)

📏 Wavelength vs frequency vs amplitude (no confusion)

🧠 The wave equation: v = fλ (and the #1 MCAT trick)

🌬️ Why wave speed depends on the medium, not frequency

🔊 Sound waves vs light waves (who needs a medium?)

🚑 Doppler effect + how it shows up (including ultrasound)

🌈 Electromagnetic spectrum basics + speed of light c

👂👁️ How waves connect to hearing and vision on the MCAT

Next up: Hearing + the ear 👂🔔
