As well, as one moves to higher n values the characteristic wavelength decreases. (This is reminiscent of light where, again, the energy of a photon increases as the wavelength of th ...

The requirement of a transverse force acting on the mass of a propagating wave has not been considered so far, since it cannot be taken into account within wave optics. Thus, it can be expected that the pro ...
