Wave Propagation Theory

Wave Propagation Theory describes how waves—such as sound, light, or radio waves—travel through different environments. It explains how energy moves through a medium (like air, water, or space) by oscillations or vibrations, spreading outward from a source. Factors like the medium's properties and obstacles influence how waves travel, reflect, refract, or diffract. Understanding this theory helps us predict how signals, sounds, or images move and change in various settings, which is essential for technologies like communication, imaging, and radar systems.
