Both longitudinal (e.g., sound) waves and transverse (e.g., water) waves can form standing waves. This section focuses on waves in bounded mediums—in particular, standing waves in such systems as stretched… Can transverse waves Superpose? Due to “Superposition” principle, any particle in atmosphere handle each of these two waves separately. …Read More →
Key points to make learners aware of: • The lines of the P waves and the S waves are not straight because they are reflected and refracted as they pass into different rocks. This causes the line to curve. What is meant by a curve or bent path of aRead More →
As a wavelength increases in size, its frequency and energy (E) decrease. From these equations you may realize that as the frequency increases, the wavelength gets shorter. As the frequency decreases, the wavelength gets longer. There are two basic types of waves: mechanical and electromagnetic. What are the 7 wavelengthsRead More →
