Reflecting waves gives standing waves, which can be resonances. Standing waves on strings and in pipes and plates.
More details | Watch nowThe Doppler effect
Moving either source or receiver produces a frequency shift called the Doppler effect, which we measure and analyse.

In an extended medium, inertia and a restoring force can lead to waves, which reflect at boundaries, either erect or inverted.

The wave equation and its physical origin. Power in a wave and its relation to intensity in radiation.
