What is a wave that appears to stay in one place?
A Standing Wave, the principle of superposition states that : The resultant of two or more superposed harmonic vibrations is simply the sum of the displacements of the individual vibrations.To understand better what is a stationary wave, you should understand how stationary waves are formed.Check out Melde's set up.Melde, set up an apparatus, where one end produced a wave when the oscillator was switched on, the wave then hit the pulley and bounced back. This wave hit the incoming new wave from the oscillator and since they had the same characteristics (same wavelength, speed, frequency) and were in the opposite direction they created a stationary wave.
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.
Wave motion perpendicular to the direction that the wave is moving is?
a transverse wave
Is the stadium wave at right a transverse or longitudinal wave?
Its a transverse wave.
Which type of wave is described as a wave that is not confined to the space along the medium?
Traveling wave
What is the definition of meter wave?
I don't think that there is a wave with that name; it might refer to a wave that has a wavelength of approximately a meter.
What is homonym for wave?
A homonym for "wave" is "wave," which can refer to either a movement in the ocean or a hand gesture to greet someone.
What does the trough of a wave refer to?
The trough of a wave refers to the lowest point of a wave where the displacement of the medium is at its maximum negative value. It is the opposite of the crest, which is the highest point of the wave.
What is the term for the height of a wave?
Hi The term used to refer the height of a wave is "significant wave height".
What does the frequency wave refer to?
The frequency wave refers to the pattern of oscillation or vibration in a wave, indicating the number of complete cycles occurring in a given time period. It is typically measured in hertz (Hz) and determines the pitch of a sound wave or the color of a light wave.
What is the other name of a wave?
Another name for a wave is a "ripple." Waves and ripples both refer to the motion of energy through a medium, such as water or air.
In regards to the GI Bill what does the term wave refer to?
The term wave refers to the web automated verification of enrollment (WAVE) system used to verify payment for military personal who are receiving wages from the government.
Is cyclone a tidal wave?
No. A cyclone is a weather system consisting of a large-scale low pressure area with an organized circulation. Cyclones often bring stormy weather. Storms such as hurricanes are cyclones. The term "tidal wave" can refer to a couple of things and has fallen out of favor among scientists. In most cases it is used to refer to a tsunami, which is a wave triggered by an earthquake or landslide. The term may also refer to a tidal bore, which is a wave that results from the tide rising in a narrow inlet or estuary.
What does tidal wave refer to?
The difference in levels of ocean water at high tide and low tide
Is wave a common noun?
Common noun: A wave, the wave. Verb: I wave, you wave, we wave, they wave.
Are there shock waves after a large clap of thunder?
Thunder is a shock wave. Refer to the web link below.
Why is water neither a transverse wave or a compressed wave?
Water is a type of mechanical wave known as a longitudinal wave, where the particles of the medium vibrate parallel to the direction of wave motion. This differs from transverse waves, where particles vibrate perpendicular to the wave direction. Compressed waves refer to sound waves that travel through a medium by compressing and rarefying the particles in the same direction as the wave.
