Your comment is inspiring me to find more joy in physics, because usually with physics I never tried to visualise anything and have been memorising my textbook and trying to get away with it. Loved your explanation of waves | |

A nice way to think of how waves work is if you consider a line of beads (particles) all connected by little springs (restoring forces) in a line. If you tug on one particle, it tugs on the next one down the line a bit, which tugs on the next, and so on. Remember, the wave itself is an emergent behavior, the particles moving back and forth in sequence are what makes it a wave. Depending on what restoring forces are present, you can get transverse, longitudinal, or both types present (simultaneously even!). It all depends on the media (material). | |
