What do you mean by wiggle in time and also wiggle in both space and time?
Answer to Problem 1RCQ
Solution:
A periodic wiggle in time is called vibration. A wiggle in space and time is called a wave.
Explanation of Solution
A wiggle is described as a to and fro or back and forth movement. So, a wiggle in time or a vibration is the time taken for an object to go to another position from starting point and come back to its original position.
Example for wiggle in time is
A wiggle in space and time is a wave, and a wave is a disturbance over the space. A wave cannot exist in one place. It moves from one place to another.
Example of wiggle in space and time is, light and sound waves move through space as waves.
Conclusion:
Hence, a wiggle in time is called vibration and wiggle in space and time is called a wave.
