Waves §

Group: 4 #group-4

Relations §

• Sound Waves: Sound waves are a type of mechanical wave that propagates through a medium by vibrating particles.
• Energy: Waves are a means of transferring energy from one point to another without the transfer of matter.
• Frequency: The frequency of a wave is the number of oscillations or cycles per unit of time.
• Ocean: Waves are a prominent feature of the ocean, caused by wind or underwater disturbances.
• Light Waves: Light waves are a type of electromagnetic wave that can travel through a vacuum and are visible to the human eye.
• Wavelength: The wavelength of a wave is the distance between two consecutive peaks or troughs.
• Motion: Waves involve the propagation of oscillatory motion through a medium.
• Oscillation: Waves involve the oscillation or periodic motion of particles in a medium.
• Refraction: Refraction is the change in direction of a wave when it passes from one medium to another with a different density.
• Doppler Effect: The Doppler Effect is the change in frequency of a wave due to the relative motion between the source and the observer.
• Reflection: Reflection occurs when a wave bounces off a surface, changing its direction of propagation.
• Amplitude: The amplitude of a wave is the maximum displacement of the particles from their resting position.
• Displacement: Waves involve the propagation of disturbances, which can be described in terms of displacement.
• Wave Equation: The wave equation is a mathematical equation that describes the propagation of waves.
• Diffraction: Diffraction is the bending of waves around obstacles or through openings.
• Wave Propagation: Wave propagation refers to the transfer of energy and oscillatory motion through a medium.
• Interference: Interference occurs when two or more waves overlap, resulting in a new wave pattern.
• Wave Phenomena: Wave phenomena encompass various behaviors and properties of waves, such as interference, diffraction, refraction, and reflection.
• Water: Waves are typically observed in water bodies like oceans, lakes, and rivers.
• Electromagnetic Waves: Electromagnetic waves are a type of wave that can travel through a vacuum and include radio waves, microwaves, infrared waves, visible light, ultraviolet waves, X-rays, and gamma rays.
• Dynamics: Waves are a type of propagating oscillation studied in dynamics.
