In order to analyze the wave activity, we averaged the activity perpendicular to the ML axis (Fig. 1b), and tracked it over time. Diagonal streaks in the space-time rendition of this activity demonstrated the occurrence of waves that move along the ML axis (Fig. 1c, d). Strikingly, ...
A wave that does not appear to move. Standing waves occur when two similar waves travel in opposite directions between two fixed points, called nodes, at which there is no movement. Standing waves can be transverse waves, like ocean waves, or longitudinal waves, like sound waves. Also called...
Like P waves, S waves travel in curved paths that are concave upward. Britannica Quiz The Solid Earth Quiz How Love waves travelLearn about the transmission of Love waves, which travel near the surface of a medium of varying vertical elasticity, causing the medium to move from side to ...
Definition: When two progressive waves of the same amplitude, frequency and velocity travelling in opposite directions superpose in a region of space, the resultant wave is confined to that region and cannot progress through the medium. Such type of wave is called a stationary wave or standing wa...
Surface waves process the turbulent disturbances which drive dynamics in many space, astrophysical and laboratory plasma systems, with the outer boundary of Earth’s magnetosphere, the magnetopause, providing an accessible environment to study them. Like

The idea that sound moves in waves goes back to, at least, the first century B.C. The Roman architect and engineer Vitruvius and the Roman philosopher Boethius each theorized that sound may move in waves. The origin of the modern study of sound is attributed toGalileo Galilei(1564-1642)....
