Waves and Sound

Progressive wave Explanation in terms of Wave and Sound We know that when a stone is thrown on a calm water of a pond progressive…

The intensity of wave: The amount of energy transferred per second through unit area normal to the wave is called intensity of the wave. Wave…

Relation among wavelength, frequency and wave velocity Let the velocity of the wave in a medium be v, frequency of the source of the wave…

Wave front: The continuous locus of points having the same phase of vibration in a medium through which a wave propagates is called a wave…

Troughs: In transverse wave, the points where the particles of the medium have maximum displacement in the negative direction are called troughs. The lowest point…

Crests: In transverse wave, the points where the particles of the medium have maximum displacement in the positive direction are called crests. It means the…

Phase of Wave: State of motion of a vibrating particle of wave at any instant is called its phase. State of motion of a vibrating…

Amplitude of Wave: When a wave propagates through a medium the maximum displacement of a particle of the medium is called amplitude of the wave.…

Time Period of Wave The time required by a particle of the medium to execute one complete oscillation is called the time period of the…

Frequency of Wave The number of complete oscillations executed by a particle or an object in one second is called the frequency. It is denoted…
