Wave Equation in Space with Angle "p

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The wave equation for a wave traveling in space at an angle "p" to the horizontal can be derived using the wavelength 'a', frequency 'n', and time period 'T'. Resources such as HyperPhysics provide foundational knowledge on wave equations, making them essential for understanding this topic. Engaging with these resources can streamline forum discussions and enhance comprehension of wave mechanics.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of wave properties including wavelength, frequency, and time period
  • Familiarity with trigonometric concepts related to angles
  • Basic knowledge of wave equations in physics
  • Access to educational resources like HyperPhysics for reference
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the derivation of the wave equation in physics textbooks
  • Explore the HyperPhysics website for detailed explanations of wave mechanics
  • Learn about the relationship between frequency, wavelength, and wave speed
  • Investigate applications of wave equations in real-world scenarios
USEFUL FOR

Students of physics, educators teaching wave mechanics, and anyone interested in the mathematical modeling of waves in various fields.

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:

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:
