Study of a single wave pulse shows that it is begun with a vibration and transmitted through internal forces in the medium. Continuous waves start with A wave travels along its vibrations too. If the vibration medium, but the is SHM, then the wave will be individual particles just sinusoidal. move up and down. http://njc.tl/ia http://njc.tl/ia

What is the intensity at point A? The energy transported by a wave is proportional to the square of the amplitude. A I 0 The intensity, I, of a wave is defined at the power 3I 0 B transported across a unit area perpendicular to the direction of energy flow. 6I 0 A B C C Source 9I 0 D So Intensity is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the source.
