Category: Wave Speed Formula

In a moving medium, a wave is a type of disturbance. Ocean waves flow across a medium, and we can witness their movement from one place to the next. The motion of an object can be described in terms of speed, which describes the item’s velocity. When a source vibrates and disrupts a particle in…

Consider a ribbon tied to a rope that is flicked up and down. Consider how a waveform in the rope while the ribbon remains in its original place, moving up and down alone. Consider a stone thrown into a tranquil lake. As soon as the stone reaches the water’s surface, it causes concentric ripples. If…

A wave is the propagation of disturbance that transfers energy through matter or vacuum. A wave is characterized by its wavelength, and/or frequency.  The frequency of waves is the number of waves passing past a point in unit time (second) and the period of the wave is its reciprocal. Wavelength is the distance traveled by…
