Physics- Mechanical Wave by Akinduyo2(m): 10:21pm On Sep 30, 2017 |
INTRODUCTION Mechanical wave motion is the occurrence of waves on the surface of a body. For example, If a stone is dropped into a calm lake or pool, a series of expanding ripples appears to radiate from the splash center. However, If you observe some bits of matter floating up-and-down bobbing motion as the waves move across the surface of the water. Which means, the waves travel steadily in the same direction without any corresponding transport of the water floating water. The bulk matter through which a wave propagates acts as a medium for the transport of energy and momentum, even though no part of the bulk matter participates in the long range motion of the wave CHARACTERISTICS OF WAVES 1. Wave propagation can take in systems that are one- dimensional, two- dimensional and 3- dimensional in character. A disturbance that propagates along a taut string or spring is a one-dimensional . Waves on the surface of a body of water are two- dimensional waves. A pressure disturbance(sound wave) that propagates through air is a three- dimensional wave. 2. Waves can be classified according to the type of motion that the medium undergoes. If the displacement of the medium is at right angle to the direction of propagation of the wave,the wave is said to be transverse. Example: if a taut horizontal string is flipped up-and-down, a transverse disturbance will propagate along the string. If the displacement of the medium us back and forth(parallel) along the direction of propagation of the wave, the wave is said to be longitudinal or compressional waves. WAVE FUNCTION Wave function of a pulse is the mathematical expression that describes the wave disturbance and its propagation as a function of time. The quantity U=KX-VT or KX+VT or vice versa is called the phase of the wave. continue reading source: http://www.guruscoach.com.ng/2018/05/mechanical-wave.html[url]INTRODUCTION Mechanical wave motion is the occurrence of waves on the surface of a body.

Oga it is U=KX-VT. 1 Like |

Thanks for sharing out your view but boss. Progressive waves have a function of Kx+or-Vt depending on what the questions says. Some are even Vt-Kx. If you make use of college physics or university physics you will fully understand mechanical waves. The main purpose for the diverse representation of wave function is because the bulky material producing the wave don't move. so it the wave it self that move in either direction as given. Sorry, if u are still in secondary school then u don't need to go beyond ur level but it is better to fully understand the topic . visit this thread often so that I can upload a PDF on the topic for u to verify. |

Bros calm down. Because I nor snap am keep? U wrote U=X-VT, where in physics is that dimensionally correct?Just accept your mistake and move on. Abi u wan challenge me for here? The use of plus or minus depicts the direction of motion of such a travelling wave or as u would prefer, "Progressive wave" Akinduyo2: |

Yeah I wrote it but that was typographical error. |
