The road led Nick onto the top of the hill to a cottage with the porch from which smoke was coming out of the chimney. Bill came out to welcome Nick. They went inside and founds that Bill’s father was absent because he had gone hunting. They sat in front of the hearth (fire lace), started drinking Whisky, and continued it until they become intoxicated. When thy started their talks, it seemed as if they were conducting conversation in a high plane. In a funny mood, they talked about baseball and their favorite players. They also talked about books, novels and their favorite writers like Walpole and Chesterson. According to Bill’s father opening ne...

Wave Motion Wave:  Wave is the transfer of energy in the form of disturbance produced in a medium. In wave motion there is no net displacement of the particles of the medium. The particles of the medium vibrate simple harmonically about their mean position and only energy is hande over from particle to particle. The property like elasticity and inertia are responsible for the propagation of wave in a medium. Types of Waves: Depending upon the modes of vibration of the particles of the medium, waves are divided into two types. Longitudinal Wave: The wave in which the particles of the medium vibrate along the direction of propagation of wave is called longitudinal wave. It is propagated in the medium in the form of compression and rarefaction. Compression is the region of larger density whereas rarefaction is the region of smaller density in the medium due to propagation of wave. Ex: sound waves, compressional waves on spring etc. Fig:- Longitudinal Wave Transverse Wave: The wave in ...
