For decades, physicists searched in vain for evidence of gravitational waves, the stretches and squeezes in spacetime that were first predicted by Albert Einstein’s theory of general relativity a ...
To identify the different parts of a wave. To be able to understand the different graphs used for waves. A transverse wave is one in which the vibrations of the particles are perpendicular (at right ...
Figure 1: Wave fields and surface flows produced by the cylindrical wave maker. Figure 2: Characteristics of the wave-driven inward and outward jets. Although the mean flow is driven by waves, which ...
