PDF-2. Waves and the Wave Equation

Forward vs backward propagating wavesReminders about complex numbers is a positive numberand t is time then the displacement is the velocity of the wave 42024 Later we will derive the wave equa. S. chrödinger Equation. By Nick Armstrong and Brandan Mantei. Introduction. A rogue wave is generally defined as a wave that has a height that is double that of the significant wave height (SWH).. The significant wave height is the average height of the largest third of the waves recorded in a given period of time.. ATM 562 - Fall, 2015. Introduction. Gravity waves describe how environment responds to disturbances, such as by oscillating parcels. Goal: derive “dispersion relation” that relates frequency (period) of response to wavelength and stability. T. ypes of wave interactions. Reflection. Refraction. Diffraction. Interference. Reflection. The bouncing back of a wave when it hits a surface.. * NOTE: When waves hits a substance some of it is transmitted and some of it is reflected.. Wave Properties. There are 6 main properties, or interactions, of waves that occur when a wave comes in contact with another wave , or a boundary. . The 6 Interactions of waves are. Interference. Diffraction. S8P4b. Describe how the behavior of light waves is manipulated causing reflection, refraction, diffraction, and absorption.. Reflection. Reflection occurs when a wave strikes an object or surface and bounces off.. Josh Moser. &. Chris . Wai. Rogue waves are being reported more and more in today’s world.. Rogue waves are being reported more and more in today’s world.. Rogue waves are being reported more and more in today’s world.. Waves transfer energy!. A wave does not carry matter . It only moves matter as it travels through it.. Waves. Compression (longitudinal) waves . are waves in which the particles of the medium move in a direction . Ex. In the ocean, waves travel across but the water only oscillates up and down returning to their original position. . Pulse - a single wave from a disturbance. Ex. Throwing a rock in water (a pulse travels in all directions from the point of contact). Warm-Up: February 17/18, 2016. Vibrations and Waves. Chapter 14. A . periodic motion . repeats in a regular cycle.. Examples include:. Pendulums (such as on a grandfather clock). A mass at the end of a spring. Wave. Repeating disturbance or movement. Carries energy through matter and space. Vibrations. Anything that moves in a rhythmic patter. Up and down. Back and forth. What is a Wave. All waves are produced when something vibrates. Why are we able to see?. Answer: . Because there is light.. And…what is light?. Answer: . Light is a wave.. So…what is a wave?. Answer: . A wave is a disturbance that carries energy from place to place. . 2022-2023 Season. Russ Burleson. geaux15@hotmail.com. . 1. Agenda. Binder Check/Homework review. Mechanical Wave overview. Transverse Waves. Surface Waves. Longitudinal Waves (general). Sound Waves (Longitudinal). Energy is moving, not water. orbital motion. energy is transferred via circular motions. water (and gull) return to original position. the wave form moves forward. Motion decreases with depth. At. a depth of ½ of the wavelength, the motion is not significant.. Earthquakes-Tsunamis. Graviational. attraction-Tides. Wind waves move energy, not matter. Wind waves- Growth. Wind strength- must be moving faster than waves. Wind duration-longer creates larger waves.
