College textbook written by Dr. J.N. Shive of Bell Labs demonstrates and discusses the following aspects of wave behavior:

Reflection of waves from free and clamped ends Superposition Standing waves and resonance Energy loss by impedance mismatching Reduction of energy loss by quarter-wave and tapered-section transformers

Dr. Shive was employed by Bell Labs and was more than just a lecturer. He worked on early transistor technology, inventing the phototransistor in 1950. Dr. Shive also invented what he called the "Shive Wave Generator" and is a machine he uses in college classrooms to demonstrate wave theory.
