A longitudinal wave moves in the direction of energy transfer through compressions and rarefactions. Sound waves in air and seismic P-waves in Earth are examples. Particles oscillate parallel to wave motion. These waves require a medium like air, water, or ...
Wave velocity is the speed at which a wave propagates through a medium. It depends on the wave type and the properties of the medium. It is given by the formula velocity equals frequency multiplied by wavelength. Different waves like ...
A mechanical wave is a disturbance that travels through a medium, transferring energy from one point to another. It requires a medium like solid, liquid or gas to propagate. Examples include sound waves, water waves and seismic waves. Mechanical waves ...
A hexagon is a six-sided polygon with six angles. It can be regular with equal sides and angles or irregular with varying side lengths. Found in nature and architecture it is commonly seen in honeycombs and tiles. Its symmetry and ...
The area of a rectangle is the amount of space it covers. It is calculated by multiplying its length by its breadth. The formula is Area = Length Ă— Breadth. The result is expressed in square units such as square ...
A piece of string is a thin, flexible cord made of fibers twisted together. It can be used for tying objects, crafting, or securing items. People use string in sewing, fishing, and household tasks. It comes in various lengths and ...
Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity of an object with respect to time. It is a vector quantity measured in meters per second squared. Acceleration can be uniform or non-uniform and positive or negative. It occurs due to ...
Restoring force is the force that brings a system back to its equilibrium position after displacement. It acts in the opposite direction of displacement and increases with distance. Examples include the force in a stretched spring, the force in a ...
Amplitude is the maximum displacement of a particle from its mean position in wave motion. It determines the wave’s energy and intensity. Higher amplitude means greater energy. It is measured in meters for mechanical waves and volts for electromagnetic waves. ...
