You need to know about these quantities used in waves - what they mean, the symbols used for them and the units used to measure them. Don't get confused with this quantity frequency. It is not a ...

Traveling through the interior of the Earth, body waves arrive before the surface waves emitted by an earthquake. These waves are higher frequency than surface waves. P waves are also known as ...

Waves in water are transverse. This means that the vibrations causing the waves are perpendicular to the direction of energy transfer. As this little boat demonstrates, you can see that the waves ...

Using high-frequency sound waves to make tunable optical filters, modulators and Q-switches is a well-established and convenient technological solution for many applications, reports Neil Savage.

A group of international researchers have developed a way to use sound to generate different types of wave patterns on the ...

From 2035, the Einstein Telescope will be able to study gravitational waves with unprecedented accuracy. For the telescope, researchers from Jena have manufactured highly sensitive sensors made ...

To that end, Jiang and her team in the Johnson Group have developed a way to control sound waves using a process called Klein tunneling, applied in a high-frequency range.
