An Overview of Transmission of Waves

1. An Overview of Transmission of Waves Talking about boundaries between different media, there is both reflection and transmission. A boundary is a place where there is a change in a wave that causes a disturbance between two media. It includes the end of a medium. 1.The incident wave is something that approaches the boundary but has not reached it yet. 2.The reflected wave is something that moves away from the boundary, but in the same medium as the incident wave. 3.The wave transmissionis something that moves away from the boundary, on the other side of the boundary from the incident wave. In physics, mathematics, and related subjects, a wave can be defined as a disturbance of one or more fields in which the field values repeatedly about a stable equilibrium value. Mechanical and electromagnetic are common types of waves studied in physics. These waves transfer energy, momentum, and information, but they do not transfer particles in the medium. Some of the waves do not appear to move at all, such as standing waves and hydraulic jumps. Waves like probability waves of quantum mechanics may be completely static.
