Ashish Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 How can a wave have energy please explain it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anu-Ki Ptah Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 well if we use a practical explanation we should think that a wave is energy firstly, then what we know of energy is it that energy at all has emanations or finer form of energy emitting from it such as magnetism or even photons sometimes electron discharge. but we also must know that all forms of energy in motion not only consume time through application of motion thusly consuming energy in that respect but also releasing energy in the sense that when "it" ( matter ) & (matter = energy ) moves in any given trajectory then it leaves a bit of an unseen trail ( or cut if you will ) behind it's current given location while in motion. Thusly splitting the very fabric of space/time itself or what some refer to as "Free electrons" therefore obviously creating energetic distribution/redistribution.

iNow Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 Ashish, I want to introduce you to wikipedia. It's a good place to start. You've asked so many questions today that I can tell it would be best for you to first do some reading on your own. Click here, and use the search feature: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page Then... once you've spent some time educating yourself, I imagine you will form more specific questions. You can then research those as well, and if you struggle to answer them, then THAT would be a good time to start a new thread here for some EXTRA help.

Ashish Posted January 19, 2008 Author Share Posted January 19, 2008 Well OK I'm sorry if I've disturbed you. And I've read many times http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page from many types of specific searches on articles and topic. The question I posted here because When I read my Physics book, (Fundamentals of Physics, RESNICK, HALLIDAY) chapter on Waves there are many things which cause confusion.

iNow Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 No disturbance at all. Just trying to help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swansont Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 Waves represent motion. Why wouldn't they have energy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5614 Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 If you post what things from your textbook you find confusing then we can try and explain them to you in a way that you understand. That would be a lot better than such a vague initial question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
