The Anatomy of a Wave. A transverse wave is a wave in which the particles of the medium are displaced in a direction perpendicular to the direction of energy transport. A transverse wave can be created in a rope if the rope is stretched out horizontally and the end is vibrated back-and-forth in a vertical direction.

11 Ιαν 2024 · For a wave to occur, two things are needed – a medium through which the wave passes, and a "driver" which is the initial source of the energy carried by the wave. Let's look at how each of the wave attributes links to these ingredients.
A wave travelling down the string from the oscillator will be reflected at the fixed end of the string, and travel back along the string causing superposition of the two waves, and because the waves have the same wavelength, frequency and amplitude, a stationary wave is formed. (Labelled combined wave on diagram).
11 Ιαν 2023 · Basic Wave Concepts. There are two important goals associated with the first part of this unit. Firstly, to become familiar with wave phenomena and how we analyze them, and secondly, to sufficiently understand the mathematical representation of one-dimensional harmonic waves.
The longitudinal waves in an earthquake are called pressure waves (P-waves) and the transverse waves are called shear waves (S-waves). These two types of waves propagate at different speeds, and the speed at which they travel depends on the rigidity of the medium through which they are traveling.
The wave equation \(\frac{\partial^{2} y(x,t)}{\partial x^{2}} = \frac{1}{v^{2}} \frac{\partial^{2} y(x,t)}{\partial t^{2}}\) works for any wave of the form y(x, t) = f(x ∓ vt). In the previous section, we stated that a cosine function could also be used to model a simple harmonic mechanical wave.
9 Ιαν 2024 · A waveform is a graphical representation of a signal in the form of a wave. It can be both sinusoidal and square-shaped, depending on the type of wave-generating input. There are two types...
