In a transverse wave, the oscillation (vibration) is at right angles to the direction of energy transfer. The particles move up and down as the wave moves from left to right.

Typically, sound waves are mechanical waves. In other words, they are an oscillation (vibration) of matter that transfers energy through a medium. When sound is produced, it is because something ...

SYMPATHETIC VIBRATION An OSCILLATION produced in an object which resonates at the same FREQUENCY, or a HARMONIC multiple thereof, as that present in a sound wave in contact with the object. See: ...

The new model shows that stars with oscillations -- vibrations -- that match the frequency of gravitational waves passing through them can resonate and absorb a large amount of energy from the ...

Studies of raindrop shapes, oscillation modes, and implications for radio wave propagation are presented. Drop shape measurements in natural rain using 2-D video disdrometers (2DVDs) are discussed. As ...

The new model shows that stars with oscillations — vibrations — that match the frequency of gravitational waves passing through them can resonate and absorb a large amount of energy from the ...
