Are sine waves the waves that are theoretically deemed to be the waves [naturally] emitted by all matter? Or am I getting them confused with something else?
No!zhana said:Is it suggested that elementar photons travel and look like sine waves?
The question is again on the "edge" of regularity.Quantum physics description of wave package of a photon ,as always,includes oscillatory terms,but photon locallity being the problem .So attenuation.Wave function even admits the interpretation photon potentialy spreads over entire universe.Imparcticle said:So are sine waves emitted by all matter or not?
No. Sine waves are mathematical objects. Matter is physical. So your question makes no sense. A sensible question would be: are such-and-such type of physical waves accurately represented as sine waves?Imparcticle said:So are sine waves emitted by all matter or not?
A sine wave is a mathematical curve that represents a smooth repetitive oscillation or vibration. It is characterized by its amplitude (height), frequency (number of cycles per unit of time), and phase (position in the cycle).
Sine waves are produced naturally as a result of vibrations and oscillations in various systems, such as sound waves, electromagnetic waves, and the movement of particles. These vibrations and oscillations can be observed in phenomena such as sound, light, earthquakes, and radio waves.
Sine waves are important in science because they are the most basic form of periodic motion and can be used to describe and analyze a wide range of natural phenomena. They are also widely used in signal processing, communication systems, and mathematical modeling.
Yes, sine waves can exist in a vacuum as they are a mathematical concept and do not require any physical medium to propagate. However, their effects may be observed in a physical medium, such as sound waves in air or electromagnetic waves in space.
Sine waves have a wide range of applications in technology, including in signal processing, communication systems, and electronic devices. They are also used in the production of sound and light, as well as in medical imaging and scientific research.
