wave phenomenon

Wave phenomena refer to the behavior of waves—disturbances that transfer energy through space and matter. These can be seen in various forms, such as water waves, sound waves, and light waves. Waves have characteristics such as wavelength (distance between peaks), frequency (how often they occur), and amplitude (height or strength). They can interfere with one another, creating patterns like ripples or beats. Understanding wave phenomena is crucial in fields like physics, engineering, and communications, as they underpin technologies such as radios, televisions, and even medical imaging like ultrasounds.
