As waves travel, they set up patterns of disturbance. The amplitude of a wave is its maximum disturbance from rest (its undisturbed position). Key fact It is important to note that the amplitude ...
Waves in water are transverse. This means that the vibrations causing the waves are perpendicular to the direction of energy transfer. As this little boat demonstrates, you can see that the waves ...
Physics majors gain strong preparation for employment in research ... new advanced sensor technologies, and multi-wavelength astrophysics. A master’s in astrophysics that explores the depths of the ...
So far, both operational short-wavelength SASE FEL facilities — FLASH, and now LCLS — have piggy-backed on systems originally designed for particle physics applications, and both appear to ...
