∙ 11y agoWave velocity is a wave property, which may refer to:
phase velocity, the velocity at which a wave phase propagates at a certain frequency
pulse wave velocity, the velocity at which a pulse travels through a medium, usually applied to arteries as a measure of arterial stiffness
group velocity, the propagation velocity for the envelope of wave groups and often of wave energy, different from the phase velocity for dispersive waves
signal velocity or information velocity, which is the velocity at which a wave carries information
front velocity, the velocity at which the first rise of a pulse above zero moves forward

What is the angle between particle velocity and wave velocity in transverse wave?
90° i.e. pi upon 2
What can be determine from the frequency and wavelength of a wave?
The velocity of the wave
How do you detect if light is a particle or a wave?
Light is both a wave and a particle depending on circumstances; this is referred to as the wave-particle duality of light.
What is phase velocity?
The velocity of a point that moves with a wave at constant phase. Also known as celerity; phase speed; wave celerity; wave speed., wave velocity.
What is the momentum of a resting particle?
Momentum = (mass) x (velocity)If the particle is at rest, velocity = 0, and momentum = 0.
What is the angle between particle velocity and wave velocity in transverse wave?
90° i.e. pi upon 2
A wave that vibrates in a direction parallel to the direction of the wave itself is called a?
Disturbance in particle motion parallel to the wave velocity is called a longitudinal wave. Disturbance in particle motion perpendicular to the wave velocity is called a transverse wave.

Is sound a particle or wave?
wave
Can mere observation have an impact on the behavior of elementary particles?
Yes, measuring the particle in any way will collapse the wave function. That is what the wave function does, it tells you the most probable location of the particle. You can then find the expected value of the velocity. However, these are only probabilistic and actually measuring these values would affect the particle. Think of it this way, when you view something you are bouncing photons off of it and receiving this photons with your eyes. What do you think happens when you strike a particle with a photon? You will transfer some energy to it and effect it's velocity.

What is the momentum of a resting particle?
Momentum = (mass) x (velocity)If the particle is at rest, velocity = 0, and momentum = 0.
When is the velocity vector of a particle tangent to the path of the particle?
Allways...
What is particle wave?
a partical wave is the name of normal wave
