In transverse waves like light, the vibrations are perpendicular ... with size much smaller than the wavelength. The collective motion of these air "meta-atoms" can give rise to a transverse ...

Save guides, add subjects and pick up where you left off with your BBC account. Waves cause a disturbance of the medium through which they travel. This allows them to carry energy. The quantity of ...

The new theoretical approach enabled the team to significantly simplify their lattice QCD calculations and obtain precise results for even the small transverse motion of quarks, where the quark ...
