Student conceptual resources for understanding mechanical wave propagation

Much of the literature contributing to physics instructors’ knowledge of student ideas (KSI) reports common patterns of reasoning that are framed as discontinuous with canonical concepts. Our work contributes new KSI about mechanical wave propagation from a resources perspective, framing student thi...
