To the surprise of many, waves are actually created by wind, which is generated by large storms that originate thousands of miles from shore. The conditions have to be just right in order to get the correct wind equation to create big waves. There are only a handful of storms each year that have this wind/wave making potential.These powerful storms are packed with energy in the form of wind. This energy (or wind) that the storms generate is then transferred from the air into the ocean. Wind is what creates the energy that creates waves. Try it! fill a cup of water to the rim. Then blow. See what happens.

Which condition is necessary for a standing wave?

A standing wave is created by the interference of two waves with the same frequency and amplitude traveling in opposite directions along the same medium. The condition necessary for a standing wave to form is that the two waves have to have the same frequency and wavelength.


What are the wind condition for a large wave to exist?

Well it depends. If its a big wave, there lots of wind. If its a small wave, there's probably little wind. It has to be strong enough. Surprisingly, waves comes from wind.

What condition necessary for a material to be term as good conductor?

It must have large number of free electrons for electrical conduction.


What condition is necessary for a standing wave?

A standing wave is created when a wave interferes with its own reflection to form a stable pattern of nodes and antinodes. This requires the wave to meet certain conditions, such as being confined within a medium with fixed boundaries, and having specific wavelengths that allow for constructive and destructive interference to occur.


Would a small wave or a large wave have more energy?

a large wave because it is built and its structure is stronger.


What is the name of a large wave?

A longitudinal wave has a large amplitude if?

A longitudinal wave has a large amplitude if the particles in the medium are displaced by a significant distance from their equilibrium position. This displacement represents the maximum strength or intensity of the wave. The larger the amplitude, the more energy the wave carries.


Is it necessary whenever there is an electric field there will be a magnetic field in perpendicular direction thus producing em waves if not what is the condition of em wave generation?

A moving charge (such as an electrical current) generates a magnetic field at right angles, true, but this field is stable and unchanging. An EM wave is only produced by a changing movement, for example an AC current. The condition would be that the field will change (and produce a wave) only if the current changes.


What does it mean when a wave has a large amplitude?

Bigger the amplitude, bigger the wave.
