As a result of surface tension, the waves propagate faster.
A sound wave propagates through a material as a localized pressure change.
The wave propagated at a rate of 3-10μms r-1.
Another possibility could be new chemical reactions where waves propagate much faster.
Maxwell's equations explain how these waves can physically propagate through space.
An optical medium is material through which electromagnetic waves propagate.
At first, waves propagate through the atmosphere without appreciable change in mean velocity.
Mechanical waves propagate through a medium - air or water, making it oscillate as they pass by.
A simple example is a wave propagating on the interface between two fluids of different densities, such as oil and water.
Pluck a guitar string, he explained, and a wave propagates along it.
