Formation of Beats

Science > Physics > Wave Motion > Formation of Beats In this article, we shall study the formation of beats, conditions required for its formation, and expression for the period and frequency of beats. Principle of Superposition of Waves: When two waves arrive at a point simultaneously, each wave produces its own effect at that […]

Reflection of Waves

Science > Physics > Wave Motion > Reflection of Waves In this article, we shall study the reflection of waves at the boundary of the denser medium and rarer medium. Wave in a medium may be defined as the disturbance moving through the medium without change of form. e.g. ripple in water formed due to […]
