Waves and Sound

Wavelength: When a wave propagates through a medium, the minimum distance between any two particles of the medium which are in the same phase at…

Complete oscillation waves: When an oscillating body starting from a point comes back to the same point from the same direction, then it is called…

Progressive wave Progressive waves allocate energy from a point source to a contiguous area. They move energy in the form of vibrating particles or fields.…

Experiment: Demonstration of longitudinal wave In this experiment a helical coil of thin wire containing several turns is hung from two horizontal rods CD and…

When particles of the medium vibrate about their mean position parallel to the direction of propagation of the disturbance, the wave is called a longitudinal…

Longitudinal wave: When particles of the medium vibrate about their mean position parallel to the direction of propagation of the disturbance, the wave is called…

Characteristics of transverse waves When the particles of the medium vibrate about their mean positions perpendicular to the direction of propagation, then the wave is…

Experiment: Demonstration of transverse wave: In this experiment a few rods of equal length is taken. There is a small ball on top of each…
