In this Jack Westin MCAT Podcast, Mike & Molly dive into one of the most tested MCAT Physics topics: Waves ๐
We break down the essentials (and the traps) so you stop guessing and start getting points โ
Youโll learn:
๐ What a wave actually is (energy transfer, not matter)
โ๏ธ Transverse vs longitudinal waves (easy examples)
๐ Wavelength vs frequency vs amplitude (no confusion)
๐ง The wave equation: v = fฮป (and the #1 MCAT trick)
๐ฌ๏ธ Why wave speed depends on the medium, not frequency
๐ Sound waves vs light waves (who needs a medium?)
๐ Doppler effect + how it shows up (including ultrasound)
๐ Electromagnetic spectrum basics + speed of light c
๐๐๏ธ How waves connect to hearing and vision on the MCAT
Next up: Hearing + the ear ๐๐
