A recent study has mathematically clarified how the presence of crystals and gas bubbles in magma affects the propagation of seismic P-waves. The researchers derived a new equation that ...

In National 5 Physics examine the properties of waves and use the wave equation, v = f λ, to relate the speed, frequency and wavelength.

The equation needed when studying waves is: wave speed = frequency x wavelength. A ripple tank allows you to study transverse waves in water. Ripple tanks vary a lot in how they look, but usually ...

If we just consider the positive frequency component, then there are four solutions to the equation. These correspond to light waves that have positive and negative frequencies, and waves that are ...
