Discovery Science: Physics – Vibrations and Waves – Waves Everywhere

by

Earth Science: Physics – Vibrations and Waves – Waves Everywhere Waves are familiar in everyday life, but they are a more difficult concept to grasp than vibration. Wherever there are vibrations, waves can also occur. A medium such as a gas or liquid is required to transmit acoustic or water waves, while electromagnetic waves of light … Read more

Discovery Science: Physics – Vibrating Systems

by

Physics and Technology – Physics – Vibrations and Waves Most areas in physics investigate well-defined issues—for example, electromagnetics or thermodynamics. The study of vibrations is different: Practically any vibration or oscillation can alternate between a high or low intensity. This explains why this area of research is so interesting and relevant to the entire field … Read more
