We can distinguish between two classes of waves, based on the motion of the medium through which it propagates. With transverse waves, the elements of the medium oscillate back and forth in a direction perpendicular to the motion of the wave.
Waves - including water waves, sound and light - can be reflected at the boundary between two different materials. When drawing wave diagrams, it is easier to draw wave fronts rather than...
14 Μαΐ 2023 · No matter whether you are talking about vibrations or waves, all of them can be characterized by the following four characteristics: amplitude, wavelength, frequency, and speed. The amplitude of a wave can be described as the maximum distance the molecules are displaced from their starting place .
What characteristics, properties, or behaviors are shared by the phenomena that we typically characterize as being a wave? How can waves be described in a manner that allows us to understand their basic nature and qualities? A wave can be described as a disturbance that travels through a medium from one location to another location.
Define mechanical waves and medium, and relate the two; Distinguish a pulse wave from a periodic wave; Distinguish a longitudinal wave from a transverse wave and give examples of such waves

15 Ιαν 2019 · Characteristics of Waves. Waves have certain characteristic properties which are observable at first notice. The first property to note is the amplitude. The amplitude is half of the distance measured from crest to trough. We also observe the wavelength, which is the spatial period of the wave (e.g. from crest to crest or trough to trough).
