Q: Is a wave an oscillation accompanied by a transfer of energy that travels through a medium? ¶
A: Yes, Frequency refers to the addition of time.
Q: Is a wave not straightforward? ¶
A: Yes.
Q: Are waves common in many physical problems? ¶
A: Yes, and including the mechanics of the cochlea and waves on hanging ropes.
Q: Is a wave reciprocals? ¶
A: Yes.
Q: Are waves waves generated in a fluid medium or at the interface between two media when the force of gravity or buoyancy tries to restore equilibrium? ¶
A: Yes.
Q: Are waves closely related to their physical origin for each specific instance of a wave process? ¶
A: Yes.
Q: Are waves described by a wave equation which sets out how the disturbance proceeds over time? ¶
A: Yes.
Q: Are waves reflected back? ¶
A: Yes.
Q: Are waves disturbances in the curvature of spacetime? ¶
A: Yes, and predicted by Einstein's theory of general relativity.
Q: Is a wave the unique shape that will propagate unchanged but for phase and amplitude? ¶
A: Yes, and making it easy to analyze.
Q: Are waves transverse in free space? ¶
A: Yes.
Q: Are waves in antiphase and cancel each other? ¶
A: Yes, and producing a node.
Q: Are waves announced on 11 February 2016? ¶
A: Yes.
Q: Is a wave often intuitively understood as referring to a transport of spatial disturbances that are generally not accompanied by a motion of the medium occupying this space as a whole? ¶
A: Yes.
Q: Is a wave linearly polarized if it oscillates in only one direction or plane? ¶
A: Yes.
Q: Is a wave not periodic in space? ¶
A: Yes.
Q: Is a wave refracted by a material is given by the refractive index of the material? ¶
A: Yes.
Q: Are waves related to a mechanical rather than an electromagnetic wave transfer caused by vibration? ¶
A: Yes.
