The text does not cover these topics directly as part of chapter 12, Vibrations and Waves. They could be integrated in Core Unit III. Alternatively, if Optional Unit V on Sound is covered, the topics could be integrated there as well. Activities 12.6 and 12.7 provides students with opportunities to investigate wave phenomena.
