A pulse is a single disturbance that travels through a medium, while a periodic wave consists of multiple repeated disturbances that travel through a medium at regular intervals.

What is the difference between a pulse wave and periodic waves?

A pulse wave is a single vibratory disturbance that moves from one point to another. A periodic wave is a serious of disturbances that are evenly spaced.


A series of evenly timed pulses create a wave that can be described as a what kind of wave?

A periodic wave.


What is difference between pulse and square wave?

A pulse wave is a waveform where the signal switches between high and low levels at a consistent frequency, creating pulses of varying widths. A square wave is a type of pulse wave where the signal switches abruptly between two levels (high and low) at a fixed frequency, with the width of the pulses remaining constant.


What is the difference between classic heart block and a u wave?

A heart Block is a non-conduction of an electrical pulse through the Bundle of His and a U wave is the repolarization of the Purkinje Fibers.


What is the difference between continuous and pulsed wave laser?

Continuous I assume would mean a constant flow of light from the laser in the form of a wave train. Conversely, a pulse is only a single wave emitted by the laser.


What the source of the wave pulse?

The rope is the source of wave pulse.


What does the energy of the wave pulse depend on?

The energy of the wave pulse depends on wave length and frequency.


What is source of the wave pulse?

What type of wave is a series of evenly timed pulses?

A series of evenly timed pulses would be classified as a periodic wave. Each pulse occurs at regular intervals, creating a repetitive pattern.


In a periodic wave traveling down a stretched string the vertical distance between a crest and a trough is 1.0 cm. What is the amplitude of the wave?

The amplitude of a periodic wave is half the vertical distance between a crest and a trough. Therefore, the amplitude of the wave in this case would be 0.5 cm.


What is pulse mechanical or electromagnetic?

Pulse can refer to both mechanical and electromagnetic phenomena. In a mechanical sense, a pulse is a wave of pressure or vibration traveling through a medium. In an electromagnetic sense, a pulse is a transient signal or wave of electromagnetic energy.


What is the source of the pulse?

The rope is the source of wave pulse.
