Question
State the properties of wave motion in brief.
Solution
The properties of wave motion are:
(i) Wave motion is a disturbance propagated in media due to periodic motion of the particles of media.
(ii) In wave motion, it is the momentum and energy which is propagated, not the mass.
(iii) In wave motion, the particles of media vibrate about mean position.
(iv) The velocity of vibrating particle is different at different position.
(v) The velocity of wave is constant.
(vi) Different particles of media vibrate with different phase and phase difference between two consecutive particles is constant.
