Linear Wave
Linear Wave:
The transverse speed and acceleration do not reach their maximum values simultaneously
Linear Wave equation
where y is a function of space x and time, t, y= f(x,t) and
v is the velocity of the wave
This equation gives a complete description of the wave motion
From it we can determine the wave speed
The linear wave equation is basic to many forms of wave motion
# For a string, it is the vertical displacement of the elements of the string
# For a sound wave, it is the longitudinal position of the elements from the equilibrium position
# For em waves, it is the electric or magnetic field components
