Concept explainers

Equation of Waves

Wave is an oscillation or disturbance traveling in a medium. It performs the transportation of energy but does not carry any matter. This motion of waves will transport fuel in a medium without permanent transfer of mass (particle).

Question

A 2m high water wave travels past an observer. Every 3s he sees 5 full waves pass him. Each peak is 4 m apart. Calculate the: frequency,period,angular velocity,speed of the wave.

Definition Definition Rate of change of angular displacement. Angular velocity indicates how fast an object is rotating. It is a vector quantity and has both magnitude and direction. The magnitude of angular velocity is represented by the length of the vector and the direction of angular velocity is represented by the right-hand thumb rule. It is generally represented by ω.
