Velocity of a Transverse Wave along a Stretched String
The velocity of the mechanical wave depends on the elasticity and inertia of the medium. We can create a transverse wave on a stretched string.…

Important terms used in Wave Motion
Important terms used in wave motion (i) Wavelength (λ): The distance travelled by a wave during which a particle of the medium completes one vibration…
Explain Longitudinal Wave Motion
Longitudinal wave motion is that wave motion in which each particle of the medium executes simple harmonic motion about its mean position along the direction…
Explain Transverse Wave Motion
Transverse wave motion is that wave motion in which particles of the medium execute Simple Harmonic Motion about their mean positions in a direction perpendicular…
Characteristics of Wave Motion
Characteristics of wave motion: (i) Wave motion is a form of disturbance travelling in the medium due to the periodic motion of the particles about…
Explain Waves on Surface of Water
In order to understand the concept of wave motion, let us drop a stone in a trough of water. We find that small circular waves…
What is Wave Motion?
Wave motion is a mode of transmission of energy through a medium in the form of a disturbance. It is due to the repeated periodic…
What is Resonance?
In the case of forced vibration, if the frequency difference is small, the amplitude will be large (Figure). Ultimately when the two frequencies are same,…
Describe Carnot’s cycle
A thermodynamic cycle in which a working substance starting from a given initial thermal state undergoes two successive expansion, one isothermal and other is adiabatic…
Describe Carnot’s reversible engine
Any heat engine is used to convert heat into mechanical work. An ideal engine free from all in perfections of practical engines was conceived by…
