Sinusoidal waves are a simple and useful object of study.
A sinusoidal wave can be represented by an equation.
The absolute phase of a wave is not measurable.
The Greek letter omega represents the wave's pulsation.
The vector k is the wave vector.
The wave vector is a scalar when only one axis is considered.
The norm of the wave vector is given by an equation.
The pulsation can be expressed in terms of frequency.
The phase velocity is given by an equation.
The wave can also be represented in terms of temporal and spatial periods.
Different categories of waves exist, including sound waves, light waves, and waves on a surface.
Waves can have different geometries and can be progressive, stationery or evanescent.
Waves can be scalar or vectorial, and even tensorial for gravitational waves.
Waves can be defined as disturbances in a medium, including the vacuum for electromagnetic waves.
Waves can be characterized by their frequency, wavelength, and celerity.
Celerity depends on the properties of the medium and can be non-dispersive or dispersive.
Monochromatic waves have a single frequency and are used to study real waves, which are a combination of monochromatic waves.
Sound waves are not always monochromatic and can be complex.
The physical existence of a monochromatic wave is impossible due to its infinite temporal extension.
Different types of waves have practical applications, such as the dispersion of light in a prism for spectroscopy.
