DEF

The process by which a disturbance at one point of a medium is transferred to another point more remote from the source with no net transport of the material of the medium itself.

CONT

For example, sound is a form of wave motion; wind is not. Wave motion can occur in a vacuum (electromagnetic waves), in gases (sound waves), in liquid (hydrodynamic waves) in solids (vibration waves) and in plasmas (soliton waves).

French

  • Physique de l'atmosphère
