Answer:
A wave is a disturbance of the space (or of a medium), that carries energy without transmitting matter.
A wave is produced when there is a periodic vibration in the particles of a medium (mechanical wave), or when there is a periodic oscillation of the electric and magnetic fields (electromagnetic waves). Electromagnetic waves are the only ones that can travel through a vacuum.
Mechanical waves are further classified into two types, depending on how the particles in the medium vibrate:
- If they vibrate up and down (perpendicular to the direction of motion of the wave), they are called transverse waves
- If they vibrate back and forth (parallel to the direction of motion of the wave), they are called longitudinal waves
In general, waves are generated from a precise point in the space, which is called source of the wave. The source of the wave does work, since it is responsible for starting the motion of the particle, and make them starting vibrating, so it transmits energy to the particles.
In this exercise we have to use the definitions of physical concepts, so we have what can be described as:
- Disturbance : a wave is a repeating disturbance or vibration that transfers or moves energy from place to place.
- Energy : In electromagnetic waves, energy is transferred through vibrations of electric and magnetic fields.
- Vibration : it is a repeated back and forth or up and down motion.
- Medium : it is a material through which waves can travel. It can be solid, liquid or gas.
- Source :waves are created when a source of energy (force) causes a vibratio.
What is the matter wave function?
Wave function in quantum mechanics is a function that describes the quantum state of a system of one or more particles, and contains all information about the system considered isolated.
