Question

M8D1: Waves in a Medium Choose an application of waves from a field of science or engineering other than physics. Your examples may be taken from, but are not limited to: sound engineering, instrument making, medical imaging, non-destructive testing, oil explorations, earthquake prediction, and Tsunami warning systems. Answer the following questions about your application of waves. • Briefly describe your example, in your own words. • What is the medium, if any, in which the waves propagate? • Are the waves in this application transverse, longitudinal, or both? If either transverse or longitudinal waves are missing from the application, explain why. • On what parameters of the medium (pressure, string tension, temperature, mass, density, etc.) does the wave speed depend? • What is the relationship between the wavelength, the frequency, and the wave speed for all waves?
