q
Level 3: Analyze wave interactions and explain real-world applications.
Communication technologies (e.g., radio waves, cell phones, fiber optics).
Medical imaging (e.g., ultrasound, X-rays).
Seismic waves and earthquakes.
All waves are the same. waves are not powerful enough to cause destruction.
