Wave motion
Wave Motion What is Wave Motion? Wave motion is the transfer of energy and momentum from one point of the medium to another point of the medium without actual transport of matter between two points. Wave motion is classified into three different ways they are, The medium of propagation, The dimensions in which a wave propagates energy, The energy transfer Table of Content Classification of Wave Motion Mechanical Waves Non-Mechanical Waves Characteristics Terminologies Classification of Wave Motion Based on the Medium of Propagation Classification of Wave Motion Based on the Medium of Propagation Number of Dimensions a Wave Propagates Energy Classification of Wave Motion Based on the Number of Dimensions a Wave Propagates Energy Based on the Transfer of Energy Standing waves (or stationary waves) Progressive wave Standing waves remain confined to a region without any transfer of energy and momentum whereas the progressive waves transfer energy and moment...
