Intensity is defined as the power divided by the area. As the wave moves out from a source, the energy is conserved, but the intensity decreases as the area increases.

When a sound source moves faster than the speed of sound, a shock wave is produced as the sound waves interfere. A sonic boom is the intense sound that occurs as the shock wave moves along the ground. A bow wake is produced when an object moves faster than the speed of a mechanical wave in the medium, such as a boat moving through the water.

Mechanical waves are disturbances that move through a medium and are governed by Newton’s laws. Electromagnetic waves are disturbances in the electric and magnetic fields, and do not require a medium. A transverse wave has a disturbance perpendicular to the wave’s direction of propagation, whereas a longitudinal wave has a disturbance parallel to its direction of propagation.

Even observe a string vibrate in slow motion. Wiggle the end of the string and make waves, or adjust the frequency and amplitude of an oscillator.

Transverse Wave: A wave in which the particle displacement is perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation, such as waves on a string or electromagnetic waves. Wave Equation: A mathematical formula that describes the propagation of waves through a medium, often expressed as v wave = \( \lambda \)f , where f is frequency, and \( \lambda \) is wavelength.
