It is believed the German mathematician Max Planck was instrumental in this. there was the wave-particle theory of light, it acts like a wave ( say in focusing lenses, for example, not too different physics-wise from, say tuning a radio, and yet it is also seen as particles. is it matter or energy,. Light is of course, energy. The notable analogy of the wave/particle duality ( as it was called) would be the situation of waves on the ocean which are both en energy ( the motion of the waves, often following a sine pattern), and matter- H20. that is the best anaogy. There is also the Quantum ( like quantity) theory of light. )

What is the definition of mechanical wave?

Mechanical waves: they are waves that propagates by the vibration of particles of the medium(Solid,Liquid,Gas), so it needs medium to propagate.It may be transverse waves or longitudinal waves.


What is a similarity between infrasound and ultrasound?

"Sound" is a mechanical wave traveling through a medium. Ultrasound is sound, but its frequency is higher than humans can hear.


What is the medium that connects the receiver to the transmitter?

Any number of things can stand between a transmitter and receiver and "connect" them. If we're talking about electromagnetic radiation (like radio waves), these signals can move through the vacuum of space, through air, or through a number of other materials. Metals and other substances that are good conductors will be resistant to penetration by or will stop radio waves. The frequency of the electromagnetic radiation will have something to do with what it will "go through" to allow it to be "connected" to a receiver.There is one thing to remember in parting: electromagnetic radiation does not need a medium through which to travel. It carries the energy of the radiation "with it" when it goes. That allows this form of energy to move through the vacuum of space. Compare this to something like a sound wave, which is mechanical energy. With waves that are mechanical energy, the medium through which the wave moves must carry the energy of that wave. Said another way, the source of the mechanical energy must put its energy into the medium for that medium to propagate the wave.


What is the fastest moving earthquake wave?

The P-wave which is a form of body wave known as a compression or longitudinal wave.


What is another name for a wave height?

Another name for wave height is "wave amplitude." This term refers to the vertical distance between the crest (top) of the wave and the trough (bottom) of the wave. Wave height is a key parameter in oceanography and meteorology, as it helps to characterize wave energy and intensity.

Wave mechanical model?
