PoL: Wave phenomena

Module 4 of Physics of Life is concerned with so-called wave phenomena: energy transactions that can be described with waves. In the living world, these phenomena come in two principal forms: light and sound.

The biophysics of wave phenomena turn principally on the senses of vision and hearing. We cover some of these, but understanding wave phenomena as transient forms of energy extends to things like locomotion.
