A large number of things—some desirable, some not—can happen to a radio wave on its way from one place to another. In the simplest case two antennas (a transmitter and a receiver) are located so that ...

Types of Waves: In Physics, waves are a fundamental phenomena that describes the transmission of energy and information through a medium of an empty space. These waves are characterised by their ...

Researchers have mathematically elucidated how the presence of crystals and gas bubbles in magma affects the propagation of seismic P-waves. A novel equation was derived to describe the travel of ...

The TRANSMISSION of acoustic energy through a medium via a SOUND WAVE. See: SOUND, SPEED OF SOUND. Compare: ACOUSTIC RADIATION. The levels of outdoor NOISE, whether they are intrusive or the normal ...

A research team has discovered a new type of sound wave: the airborne sound wave vibrates transversely and carries both spin and orbital angular momentum like light does. The findings shattered ...

The study of wave propagation in viscoelastic and piezoelectric materials is pivotal in advancing modern sensor and actuator technologies. Viscoelastic materials, which display both viscous flow and ...

We study wave propagation in a one-dimensional random medium whose index of refraction is characterized randomly and is assumed to have small fluctuations about the mean. The appropriate stochastic ...

Sound waves travel through different types of matter, including liquid water. Importantly, the movement of ocean water can greatly affect how sound waves travel from one point to another. Meteoroid ...

[Stoppi] always has interesting blog posts and videos, even when we don’t understand all the German in them. The latest? Computer simulation of wave propagation (Google Translate link), which, if ...
