How do we know that? Because of the equation below, which gauges a wave's power in the open sea from variables like height, length, and period (time from the top of one wave to the top of the next).

A recent study has mathematically clarified how the presence of crystals and gas bubbles in magma affects the propagation of ...

Researchers have mathematically elucidated how the presence of crystals and gas bubbles in magma affects the propagation of seismic P-waves. A novel equation was derived to describe the travel of ...

Currents, the wind and the shape of the sea floor matter too ... it is an approximation of a well-known equation in wave dynamics. Other parts included some terms that the researchers suspected ...

In 1743, French polymath Jean-Baptiste le Rond d'Alembert derived an equation describing the vibrations of an oscillating string or the movement of a wave, according to a paper published in 2020 ...

And the signal itself travels according to what is known as the wave equation. We are afloat on a hidden ocean of equations. They are at work in transport, the financial system, health and crime ...
