To identify the different parts of a wave. To be able to understand the different graphs used for waves. A transverse wave is one in which the vibrations of the particles are perpendicular (at right ...

The slinky can be shaken to produce longitudinal and transverse waves. Examples of longitudinal waves include sound waves and earthquake p-waves. Examples of transverse waves include EM waves, water ...

A new theory for transverse instability of bright solitons of equations of nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) type is presented, based on a natural deformation of the solitons into a four-parameter family.
