Wave Equation in Space with Angle "p

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the equation of a wave traveling in space at an angle "p" to the horizontal, with specific parameters including wavelength 'a', frequency 'n', and time period 'T'. The scope includes conceptual understanding and application of wave equations in physics.

Discussion Character

  • Conceptual clarification, Homework-related

Main Points Raised

  • One participant inquires about the specific equation for a wave traveling at an angle "p" with given parameters.
  • Another participant suggests that the information may be readily available online, specifically mentioning resources like Hyperphysics for introductory physics questions.
  • A later reply expresses gratitude for the suggestion of looking up the information.
  • Further interaction indicates a willingness to assist, but also a preference for participants to seek out existing resources first.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants do not reach a consensus on the specific wave equation, and the discussion remains unresolved regarding the initial inquiry.

Contextual Notes

There are no explicit assumptions or limitations discussed, but the inquiry may depend on the definitions of wave parameters and the context of the angle "p".

Who May Find This Useful

This discussion may be useful for students or individuals seeking clarification on wave equations and their parameters in physics.

What is the equation of wave traveling in space making an angle "p" to the horizontal with wave length 'a',frequency 'n',time period 'T'.
Please anyone can help me

Have you tried looking this up, already? Ths is something that could be found on the internet or found in the beginning of the waves section in any introductory physics text. For instance, hyperphysics is a great website for questions like these:

http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/waves/wavsol.html#c1

I don't mind helping you, but if everyone makes it a point to check places like hyperphysics first, the forums would be less cluttered. But then again, maybe I'm just a neat freak!:rolleyes:
 
Thanks G01 for help
 
No problem.:smile:
