Ideally they should travel from the transmitter directly to the receiver (line of sight). But in reality, they travel in all the ways you mentioned - direct (line of sight), through buildings and obstacles, they bounce off the ground and other objects (including the atomosphere) and then eventually arrive at the receiver.

Why normal waves are different to tsunamis?

Normal ocean waves are a surface feature caused primarily by wind. Water beneath the surface is barely affected by what's going on at the surface. Tsunamis (often mistakenly called "tidal waves") are immense pressure waves caused by undersea earthquakes. Emerging from the epicenter of the quake, these waves propagate through the entire depth of the ocean and travel at close to 700 miles per hour. At sea, they are usually barely visible, but as soon as they approach shore, the shrinking depth of the water forces the pressure wave (and the water containing it) up to catastrophic heights.


What vegetation is the characteristic of the South?

Since the climate of the South (assuming "the South" means the southern United States) is predominantly hot and humid with warm, temperate winters that see very little to no snow, the plants that exist are primarily that adapted to such hot, subtropical climates. Many C4 ("warm-season") plants are found in the South compared with the north, and propagate themselves during the hottest part of the year, which is from May to August. Cool-season (C3) plants grow during the "winter" months of the South.Basically, any plant that is sensitive to frost and considered an "annual" in the North (upwards into Canada, except around Vancouver which rarely sees long periods of snow cover like much of Montana and Wisconsin does), is grown down south. Crops include cotton, sugarcane, oranges, and okra. Tomatoes are considered a perennial down South because of the consistent frost-free periods throughout the year. Other plants found down South that cannot be grown further north (native or invasive) include elephant grass, bamboo, bermuda grass, bahai grass, big bluestem, little bluestem, buffalo-grass, sudan grass, lespedeza, blue grama, cheat grass, cypress trees, sawgrass, West Indian mahogany, wild orchids, and many, many others.To give you a further idea, you won't find spruce trees, lodgepole pine, Douglas fir, saskatoon (Ameliancher alnifolia) prickly/common wild rose, wintegreen, dogwood, snowberry, buffaloberry, high-bush cranberry, western porcupine grass, plains and foothills rough fescue, chokecherry and many other plants down in the South.

What is cutoff wave number?

The cutoff wave number is the maximum wave number that can propagate in a waveguide or transmission line without attenuation or loss. Waves with wave numbers higher than the cutoff wave number will be attenuated and cannot propagate effectively. It is an important parameter in the design and analysis of waveguides and transmission lines.


Do sound waves propagate in water or not?

Yes, sound waves can propagate in water. In fact, sound travels faster and farther in water compared to in air due to water's higher density and stiffness. This makes water an efficient medium for sound transmission.


Definition of propagate?

Propagate means to breed.


Is wave always available?

No, waves are not always available. Waves require a medium to propagate, so they are only present in a medium that can support their transmission such as air, water, or solid materials. In a vacuum, such as outer space, where there is no medium, waves cannot propagate.
