The characteristics of waves \u2013 problems and solutions<\/p>\n
1. <\/span><\/span>The general properties of the wave<\/a> are as follows:<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n (1) can not propagate in a vacuum<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n (2) moving straight in a different medium<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n (3) experiencing reflection<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n (4) experiencing diffraction<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n (5) experience interference<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n From the above wave<\/a> properties, which correspond to the characteristics of light waves are…<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Solution<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n (1) <\/span><\/span>A light wave is an electromagnetic wave that does not require a propagation medium. Because it does not require a propagation medium, electromagnetic waves can propagate in a vacuum.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n (2) <\/span><\/span>When light waves traveling in a medium enter a new medium, light waves are refracted. Refraction is the direction of light wave propagation. Refraction occurs because of differences in the speed of light waves in each different medium.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n (3) <\/span><\/span>In addition to being refracted, light waves are also reflected. Reflection of light by a flat mirror is one example of light reflection<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n (4) <\/span><\/span>Diffraction<\/a> is not only experienced by electromagnetic waves like light waves but is also experienced by mechanical waves<\/a> such as water waves and sound waves.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n (5) <\/span><\/span>In addition to being experienced by electromagnetic waves such as light waves, interference is experienced also by mechanical waves such as water waves, rope waves or sound waves.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n 2. <\/span><\/span>Note the following wave properties!<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n (1) experiencing diffraction<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n (2) experiencing reflection<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n (3) can not propagate in a vacuum<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n (4) may experience polarization<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n (5) moving straight when passing through two different mediums<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n From the above wave properties that correspond to the characteristics of sound waves are…<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Solution<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n (1) Diffraction is not only experienced by electromagnetic waves such as light waves, but also by mechanical waves like sound waves.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n (2) Reflection or reflection is experienced by electromagnetic waves such as light waves and mechanical waves such as sound waves or water waves. An example of a reflection event of sound waves is an echo.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n (3) Sound waves are mechanical waves. Mechanical waves are waves that require a propagation medium in order to propagate. If there is no such medium in a vacuum then the sound waves can not propagate.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n (4) Polarization is experienced by transverse waves such as rope waves, surface waves and electromagnetic waves such as light waves. Sound waves are longitudinal waves and therefore can not experience polarization.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n (5) When traveling from a medium to a different medium, sound waves refract or split the direction of propagation. Refraction occurs when the waves begin to enter a different medium.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n 3.
