CONT

Les ondes concentriques : la pierre que l'on jette dans l'eau génère des cercles concentriques et le nombre de cycles par seconde ainsi produits est la « fréquence ». Si l'on jette une pierre dans un bassin rempli d'eau, un grand nombre d'ondes concentriques sera généré plutôt qu'une seule grande onde.
