The physics textbooks tell us there are two kinds of waves. In transverse waves like light, the vibrations are perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation. In longitudinal waves like sound ...

Transverse waves are perpendicular to the direction the light is moving and can be used to control the particle's visible plasmonic output. But when the light is confined, longitudinal waves also ...

The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST)-led research team has adopted gyromagnetic double-zero-index ...

Light is a type of electromagnetic radiation that can be detected by the eye. It travels as a transverse wave. Unlike a sound waves, light waves do not need a medium to pass through, they can ...

Therefore the longitudinal fractals are more irregular than the transverse ones. Finally ... bicentenary of Thomas Young’s great discovery of the interference of waves of light.

In transverse waves like light, the vibrations are perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation. In longitudinal waves like sound, the vibrations are parallel to the direction of wave ...
