Talk:Waves/Waves in One Dimension

This page is missing a graph. "Graphing this out we get [graph] From figure one we can" There should be a graph where I placed the word [graph]. MicScoTho

I think that


 * $$y=a\ \sin \left(\frac{2\pi x}{\lambda} - \frac{2\pi t}{T} +\alpha \right)$$

is neater. It also allows to immediately identify that &lambda; is the spatial period, and that its inverse, k, together with the inverse of T, f, are the spatial and temporal frequencies, respectively.

Along the same line the last equation (second line) in the page could read


 * $$ 0=\frac{2\pi}{\lambda}\left(x - \frac{\lambda}{T} t\right) +\alpha$$

It direcly shows that the equiphase point moves with velocity c=&lambda;/T

Lets break this page up into smaller subunits so it is quicker to load and easier to navigate, etc. Keep up the great work, -- Karl Wick

I'm just trying to wikify the source work, and it makes more sense to me to do each chapter as a page. I should do another few chapters tomorrow, and hope to be finished by Monday. After that, I'm going to leave it alone; I didn't do well enough at physics in school to edit this! -- Jimregan 02:15 20 Jul 2003 (UTC)

To clarify, the chapters listed are done so far as I'm concerned; I've done what I can with them, that is, unless someone can show me how to fix the ugly formatting as regards the image layout, the numbering of the problems &c, in which case I'll gladly fix what I've done. -- Jimregan 02:32 20 Jul 2003 (UTC)

I was reading the introduction, and I know from my textbooks that the electromagnetic and the weak nuclear force are considered as one force called the electroweak force. So there are only three fundamental forces. Just trying to help.

Actually, there are four fundamental forces: gravity, electromagnetic, weak nuclear and strong nuclear. The electromagnetic and weak nuclear forces are unified, as electroweak, at energies greater than around 100 GeV. Many grand unified theories (GUTs) merge the electroweak with the strong nuclear force at higher energies. 27 Feb 2004


 * Just a note: GeV = gigaElectronVolts. Also: electricity and magnestism are two forces but because they unify at every energy level they are considered one.  Correct me if I'm wrong ... Dolphinn!! 9:02 EST April 6 2007

Merger
Waves/Sine Waves has some stuff about angular velocity, but is otherwise very similar to this page. I recommend that useful content from there be merged onto this page, with all the other math stuff. 170.140.237.114 (discuss) 14:20, 16 March 2011 (UTC)

I would agree, there really is not a need to have them in separate pages Rahulsanjay18 (discuss • contribs) 17:05, 8 October 2020 (UTC)
