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 ...

Waves are ubiquitous in nature, allowing us to see, hear and observe. Because of such pervasiveness, the need to study how waves work proves to be an important one Nonlinear Waves in Bounded Media ...

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 ...

Figure 1: Wave fields and surface flows produced by the cylindrical wave maker. Figure 2: Characteristics of the wave-driven inward and outward jets. Although the mean flow is driven by waves, which ...

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.

Physicists and biomedical engineers unlocked new properties in capillary waves thanks to superhydrophobicity. Ripples, like ones produced by raindrops falling in a puddle, are also called capillary ...
