A wave is a disturbance that propagates through space and time, usually with transference of energy
What else can I help you with?
Describe the wave pulse that travels down the slinky?
describe the wave pulse that travels down the slinky?
What does a velocity of a wave describe?
The speed the wave is traveling through space
Describe a compressional wave?
k
How do you describe a wave?
Wave is just a disturbance in a regular/periodic/organized way.
What are two words in vocabulary that describe the bending of a wave?
Refraction and diffraction are two words that describe the bending of a wave. Refraction occurs when a wave changes direction as it passes from one medium to another, while diffraction is the bending of a wave around obstacles or through openings.
What word names a short wave?
microwaves :)
Which characteristic of a wave describe the greatest distance a wave vibratetes from a ressting position?
The amplitude of a wave describes the greatest distance a wave vibrates from its resting position. It is the measure of the height or intensity of the wave.
What property cannot describe a single wave pulse?
The property of frequency cannot describe a single wave pulse, as frequency refers to the number of wave cycles passing a given point per unit of time. Since a single wave pulse consists of just one wave cycle, it does not have a frequency in the same way a continuous wave would.
What is used to describe a wave that has collapsed as it approaches land?
The term used to describe a wave that has collapsed as it approaches land is "break." When a wave reaches shallow water near the shore, it breaks, causing the wave to lose its energy and crash onto the beach. This breaking phenomenon is influenced by factors such as the wave height and bottom topography.
What is a peeling wave?
Usally used to describe a nicely breaking wave, with it peeling down the line instead of dumping.
Is the infinite probability wave function a contradiction in terms?
No it is simply a nonsense. Wave functions describe finite probabilites.
What is the right way to describe the structure of a wave?
The lowest point of a wave is called the trough, the peak of a wave is called the crest, and the length from the trough to the crest is called the wave height.-Superchick606
