I am looking for some data to create data analysis questions, particularly
in the topics on wave, sound and optics. Any resource offerred will be much
appreciated.


You'll get more help if you ask a more specific question.

*) What level?
College senior physics majors?
College freshman non-majors?
High school?

*) What analytical techniques do you wish to emphasize?
Simple curve fitting?
Simple Monte Carlo?
1D Fourier transform?
2D Fourier transform?

... or are you asking for suggestions about techniques
as well as data?

*) What kind of waves?
Rectangular geometry and sine waves?
Cylindrical geometry and Bessel functions?
Nonlinear media and solitons?
Shock waves?

*) What areas of application?
Echo cancellation?
Sonar, radar, and lidar?
Audio compression?
Video compression?
Shape from shading?
Spectroscopy and colorimetry?
