Waves in a sentence

Hertz measured Maxwell's waves and demonstrated that the velocity of these waves was equal to the velocity of light.

Love waves can exist in the presence of a subsurface layer, and are only formed by horizontally polarized S-waves.

Millions of oscillating sound waves such as p-waves, g-modes, and f-modes are produced by that seismic commotion.

It was 1865 when these waves were first theorized, and radio one of the first waves to be studied and understood.

We talked to the stars of “Queen & Slim” and “Waves,” who made waves of their own this year with breakout performances.

Like “Krisha,” whose star has a cameo in “Waves,” “Waves” is a remarkable, impressionistic, sensory experience.

Surface waves span a wide frequency range, and the period of waves that are most damaging is usually 10 seconds or longer.

That energy interacts with other incoming waves, producing a pressure signal that turns into seismic waves at the seafloor.

It will also incorporate even shorter waves, called millimeter waves, with frequencies of 24GHz to 52 GHz.

Beach break A beach break happens where waves break from offshore waves, and onshore sandbars and rips.

Constructive waves move material up the beach while destructive waves move the material down the beach.

The notable exception was in 2011 when the human deaths due to cold waves were nearly 60 times more than those due to heat waves.

Mach's main contribution to physics involved his description and photographs of spark shock-waves and then ballistic shock-waves.

Radio waves main When an electric current flows in a suitably shaped conductor at radio frequencies radio waves can be generated.

Radio waves are a small part of a wider electromagnetic spectrum of waves, which all emit energy called electromagnetic radiation.

The speakers then emit the proper “anti” waves, which cancel out the incoming waves, and there you have it: near blissful silence.

Rapid location of earthquakes makes tsunami warnings possible because seismic waves travel considerably faster than tsunami waves.

Rip currents form when waves break near the shoreline, piling up water between the breaking waves and the beach, Parks Canada says.

Sharp waves are frequently generated in sets, with sets containing up to 5 or more individual sharp waves and lasting up to 500 ms.

Other forms of radiation such as radio waves, microwaves, and light waves are called non-ionizing.
