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 ...
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 ...
