Question

Characteristics of wave motion

Answer 1

A wave motion is in a form of disturbance which travels thorough a medium due to the vibrations of the particles of the medium. Each particle begins to vibrate a little later than its predecessor. The velocity of the particles is different from the velocity of the wave

Answer 2

Characteristics or properties of wave motion:

1. A wave motion is in a form of disturbance which travels thorough a medium due to the vibrations of the particles of the medium

2.It is the disturbance which travels in the forward direction and not the particles.

3.The particles simply vibrate about their mean position.

4.Each particle begins to vibrate a little later than its predecessor.

5.The velocity of the particles is different from the velocity of the wave. But the velocity of the wave remains constant velocity of particle goes on changing with time and is max. at mean P and min at extreme.

6.The energy of a particle is wholly kinetic at the mean position and wholly potential at the extreme position.

7.The waves can undergo phenomenon like reflection, refraction, polarization etc.

8.For the propagation of the wave the medium must possess the properties of elasticity and inertia.
