Waves in water are transverse. This means that the vibrations causing the waves are perpendicular to the direction of energy transfer. As this little boat demonstrates, you can see that the waves are ...

If you use a function generator, you may occasionally require a sine-wave output at a higher frequency than the generator can provide. If your function generator also produces a triangle-wave output, ...

Spoiler summary: The quarter-wave stub resonant frequency, when built in FR4, is about: f[GHz] = 1.5/Len[inches] or f[GHz] = 3.8/Len[cm]. Remember: before you start using rules of thumb, be sure to ...

Frequency comb: Georg Woltersdorf (left) and his colleague Chris Körner in the lab where they created a spin frequency comb. (Courtesy: Uni Halle/Markus Scholz) A simple method for multiplying the ...

A sound wave is a vibration that travels through a solid, liquid or gas such as the air or water. A loud sound has a large amplitude, a high pitched sound has a high frequency. Musicians and ...
