my chair out of his office‚ and headed for the boardwalk. The sun is setting; the ocean waves are crashing against the shore pounded with the rhythm of my beating heart. Spending the rest of my life in a wheelchair meant giving up the things I love‚ no dancing‚ no high heels‚ no hiking‚ no beach-combing. As I watched as the waves rose up‚ curled‚ then crashed; drew back into the sea. With each crash‚ the waves seemed to pull a piece of my life out to sea‚ saying‚ no more. . . no more. ... I couldn’t

of an electronic wave packet in the unifonn field in the interelectrode space of the vacuum photodetector is investigated. It is shown that the dimensions of such a packet must be of an order or more then one micron. It is shown that such localized charges can give rise to abrupt pulses of the current in the external circuit of the photodetector. The determination ofparameters of such packet by powerful laser pulse scattered with is discussed. The motion of one-electron wave packet in the nonuniform

Kinematic Derivation of the Wave Equation http://prism.texarkanacollege.edu/physicsjournal/wave-e... KINEMATIC DERIVATION OF THE HARMONIC WAVE EQUATION AND RELATED TOPICS An extremely important type of wave in physics is the harmonic wave. This is a wave consisting of propagating simple harmonic oscillations or linear combinations thereof. Attach a weight to a spring and hang the spring so the weight is free to move. Then lift the weight straight up and release it; it will oscillate up and down

Water Waves By Anna Introduction Water waves have been around for years; learning about water waves can help you understand the outside world. Water waves can be used in many ways‚ but they can also be harmful‚ too. When were they discovered? Water waves have been around since the creation of the earth‚ but Isaac Newton came up with a theory; after studying waves in about 1687. What is the biggest wave? In 1958 the biggest tsunami wave was recorded. How much harm can water waves really

Characteristics and Nature of Waves In physics‚ a wave is a disturbance that travels through space and time‚ usually accompanied by the transfer of energy. Waves travel and the wave motion transfers energy from one point to another‚ often with no permanent displacement of the particles of the medium—that is‚ with little or no associated mass transport. They consist‚ instead‚ of oscillations or vibrations around almost fixed locations. For example‚ a cork on rippling water will bob up and down

Seismic waves‚ which are waves of energy that travel through the earth‚ and are a result of an earthquake‚ explosion‚ or a volcano that imparts low-frequency acoustic energy. There are two types of seismic waves‚ Body waves and surface waves. Body waves travel through the interior of the earth. Surface waves travel along the earth’s surface and through water. Seismic wave fields are measured by a seismograph‚ geophone‚ hydrophone or accelerometer. These are used to measure earthquakes. When

Ocean Waves A wave is a periodic disturbance in space and time‚ possibly transferring energy to or through a space-time region. Have you ever ridden a wave in the ocean? Ocean waves travel on the surface of the water. You can see them and you can feel them. As you swim through the water‚ you can even make your own waves. The winds cause waves on the surface of the ocean (and on lakes). The wind transfers some of its energy to the water‚ through friction between the air molecules and the water molecules

sound waves Sound is a series of compression waves that moves through air or other materials. These sound waves are created by the vibration of an object‚ like a radio loudspeaker. The waves are detected when they cause a detector to vibrate. Your eardrum vibrates from sound waves to allow you to sense them. Sound has the standard characteristics of any waveform. Sound is a waveform that travels through matter. Although it is commonly in air‚ sound will rapidly travel

WAVE ENERGY Chapter 2: Energy Technology 2.1 Source of Wave Energy Ocean waves are caused by the wind as it blows across the open expanse of water‚ the gravitational pull from the sun and moon‚ and changes in atmospheric pressure‚ earthquakes etc. Waves created by the wind are the most common waves and the waves relevant for most wave energy technology. Wave energy conversion takes advantage of the ocean waves caused primarily by the interaction of winds with the ocean surface. Wave energy is
