Physics (Waves)

Note Description

Waves in physics are disturbances that transfer energy through space or matter without the permanent displacement of the medium. They can be classified into mechanical waves, which require a medium (like sound waves), and electromagnetic waves, which can travel through a vacuum (like light waves). Waves are characterized by properties such as wavelength, frequency, amplitude, and speed. They exhibit behaviors such as reflection, refraction, diffraction, and interference, influencing various physical phenomena. Understanding waves is essential in fields ranging from acoustics and optics to telecommunications and quantum mechanics.
