Mechanical wave motion is manifest by transverse waves on fluid surfaces, longitudinal and transverse seismic waves travelling through the Earth, and vibrations of mechanical structures such as suspended cables.

Specifically, we describe the position of each particle using its displacement, D , from its equilibrium position.

It establishes that electric fields propagate perpendicular to their direction of travel, leading to polarization.

In this section we will use these laws to derive an equation of motion for the wave itself, which applies quite generally to wave phenomena.

The fundamental mode TE101 marks the lowest frequency, with energy decay characterized by a quality factor Q. Physical alterations of the resonator, influenced by electromagnetic forces, affect resonant frequency and energy storage.
