Waves are around us. It can be Sound waves, string waves, radio waves, visible light waves, water waves, microwaves, sine waves, stadium waves, earthquake waves, cosine waves, and slinky waves are some examples in our daily encounters.
All waves are generated through disturbance; for example, when a rock is thrown in water or a boat is moved through water. These water waves have mainly two parts that are called crest and trough through which the wave is travelled from one location to other location. Each crest is followed by second crest which is again followed by next crest. These crests are separated by a trough to generate a pattern of crests and troughs. In physics, waves are defined as periodical disturbance which are propagated through a particular medium. Let’s us discuss different types of
