6 Different Types of Waves in Physics

The main types of waves in physics: here are the names, the distinguishing characteristics and their applications in the real world. Electromagnetic waves and mechanical waves. A first distinction that we are going to make is that between electromagnetic waves and mechanical waves . The former are called “electromagnetic waves” because they do not require a material medium to … Read more

An electromagnetic wave is a disturbance that propagates without transport of matter, that is, energy that propagates through matter without the bodies moving appreciably from their position.Wave motion is a form of energy transmission .  Electromagnetic waves: characteristics The physical quantities that characterize a … Read more

Physics: Boyle-Mariotte’s Law

Boyle-Mariotte’s law is the fundamental law of gas physics. Let’s discover the formula and the mathematical equation. Boyle-Mariotte’s law states that, at constant temperature for a fixed mass, the absolute pressure and the volume of a gas are inversely proportional. In other words, the product of the absolute pressure and the volume remains constant . The law is named after the … Read more
