Waves: A Very Short Introduction

From sound waves to gravitational waves, and from waves of light to crashing rollers on the ocean, Mike Goldsmith explores the fundamental features shared by all waves in the natural world, and considers the range of phenomena resulting from wave motion, including reflection, diffraction, and polarization in light, and beats and echoes in sound.

De la undele sonore la undele gravitationale si de la valurile de lumina la rolele care se prabusesc pe ocean, Mike Goldsmith exploreaza trasaturile fundamentale impartasite de toate valurile din lumea naturala si ia in considerare gama de fenomene rezultate din miscarea undelor, inclusiv reflexia, difractia, si polarizare in lumina si batai si ecouri in sunet.
