Using a mechanical model, shows aspects of wave motion applicable to mechanical, acoustic, electric and optical waves. The electrical and acoustical systems analogous to the mechanical system demonstrated are given but not demonstrated and so the emphasis of the film is not similarity in wave behaviour.
