Satellites have confirmed what mariners long suspected but could never fully prove: the open Pacific can spawn waves as tall ...

To identify the different parts of a wave. To be able to understand the different graphs used for waves. A transverse wave is one in which the vibrations of the particles are perpendicular (at right ...

We saw earlier that when sound waves come from correlated sources then their pressure and associated velocity components simply add. This meant that the pressure amplitude could vary between zero and ...

For decades, physicists searched in vain for evidence of gravitational waves, the stretches and squeezes in spacetime that were first predicted by Albert Einstein’s theory of general relativity a ...

Multichannel recording technologies have revealed travelling waves of neural activity in multiple sensory, motor and cognitive systems. These waves can be spontaneously generated by recurrent circuits ...

So far we have mainly considered a sound wave to be a sinusoidal wave at a particular frequency. This is useful as it allows us to consider aspects of sound propagation in terms of the wavelength.
