Waves or Wave Motion:
A method to transport energy from one point to another
point without transfer of matter is called wave.
Formation of Waves:
When particles of a medium are disturbed then as a
result this disturbance travels from one point to another so by this mechanism
energy is transported from one point to another. For Example.
1. Waves in Rope or String 2. Waves in a Slinky Spring 3. Water waves in Ripple Tank
2. Waves in a slinky spring:
3. Water wave in (Ripple Tank):
A ripple tank is
a shallow glass tank of water used to demonstrate the basic properties of
waves. It is a particular type of wave tank. The ripple tank is usually
illuminated from above so that the light shines through the water to visualize
the wave being produced. In the laboratory, we can produce water waves with the
ripple tank. In the ripple tank, a small vibrator moves up and down the water
surface, resulting in the water particles at the surface that are in contact
with the dipper being made to move up and down. This up and down motion soon
spread to other parts of the water .surface in the tank in the form of ripples.
Here the water is the medium through which the ripples travel or propagate.
