Wave Propagation
Reset Wave In science, a wave is a phenomenon in which energy is transmitted through a medium. It is the only energy that is transmitted through the wave. The medium only vibrates but does not actually move. Not all waves … more

Tuning Fork and Sound Wave
Tuning fork The tuning fork has a structure that combines the ends of two sticks. When the tuning fork is vibrated, the tuning fork repeatedly approaches and then moves away from each other. The vibration mechanism is simple, so it … more
Photoelectric Effect Experiment
Photoelectric Effect The photoelectric effect is the phenomenon that the electrons pop out when a light beam incident on a metal surface. It can be thought that the energy of light is transformed into the form of electrical energy. However, … more

Diffraction Grating
The diffraction grating is a transparent plate with very narrow lines on the surface. Light (photons) like to go in the same phase. In the same phase, constructive interference occurs. If the phases are different, the waves cancel each other … more
Standing Waves in various situations
A standing wave occurs when incoming and reflected waves interfere with each other. It produces a wave pattern that appears to be stationary. Nodes are locations where particles of the medium appear to be at rest. And, antinodes are locations … more
Water Waves
Water Wave When you throw a stone into a calm lake, a circle of concentric waves is created and spreads around. The phenomenon that vibration created in one place spreads to the surroundings is called a wave. If you make … more
Superposition
Superposition and interference of waves Two matters cannot be in the same location. But, two or more waves can be in the same space and at the same time. Throwing two stones into the pond creates an interference pattern due … more
