Waves

Waves are a disturbance or vibration that travels throughout space-time and is followed by an energy transfer, as defined by physics. Waves motion transports energy from one location to another with no permanent shift of the medium’s particles — in other words, with no mass movement. Instead, they’re made up of vibrations or tremors that

Wave Number

The wavenumber (also known as the wave number or repetency) is the spatial frequency of a wave in the physical sciences, expressed in cycles per unit distance (ordinary wavenumber) or radians per unit distance (radian wavenumber) (angular wavenumber). It is comparable to temporal frequency, which is defined as the number of wave cycles per unit

Wave motion

Introduction  The transfer of energy and momentum from one point of the channel to another without transporting the matter between those two points is defined as wave motion. There is a diverse classification of wave motion based on the energy channel of propagation, dimensions of the energy propagation by a wave, and energy transfer. Now,

Turbulent Flow and Streamline Flow

We discovered that water coming from a faucet has a smooth appearance while the flow rate is low, but as the flow rate is raised, voids and disturbances may be detected after reaching a specific value. In such a circumstance, if we add a stream of ink while the flow is smooth, the ink flows

Transverse

When the direction of propagation is perpendicular to the oscillation of constituents of the medium, it is known as a transverse wave. While propagating, these waves form alternate crests and troughs.  We can use a string to illustrate these waves. When we pull a string in the vertical direction, we can conceive the development and
