Waves and currents - Olympiad
... When you hear the words waves and currents, your brain might immediately make you think about the ocean, or at least some form of water. That’s natural, since that is probably what you have experienced the most in connection to those two words. But waves and currents can be talking about energy as w ...

Both types can travel through solid material, but only longitudinal waves can propagate through a fluid – in the transverse direction, a fluid has no restoring force. Surface waves are waves that travel along the boundary between two media. ...
