Waves

Physists help us to understand that a wave is a disturbance or oscillation that travels through space or a medium, carrying energy without necessarily carrying matter along with it. Waves are a fundamental concept in physics and can take various forms, including:

1. Mechanical Waves: These waves require a medium (like water or air) to travel through. Examples include water waves, sound waves, and seismic waves (earthquakes).

2. Electromagnetic Waves: These waves do not require a medium and can travel through a vacuum, such as in outer space. Examples include visible light, radio waves, microwaves, and X-rays.

3. Transverse Waves: In these waves, the oscillations are perpendicular to the direction of the wave's propagation. Examples include light waves.

4. Longitudinal Waves: In these waves, the oscillations are parallel to the direction of the wave's propagation. Examples include sound waves.

Waves can be described by various characteristics, including wavelength (the distance between two successive peaks or troughs), frequency (the number of oscillations per unit of time), amplitude (the height or intensity of the wave), and speed (how fast the wave travels through a medium).

Waves play a crucial role in many natural phenomena and technological applications, from the transmission of information through radio waves to the behavior of light and sound.

Can anything be made out of waves? 
I believe its possible. Let's take look at these:

The world needs the Gifts and Skills that only you have

 TAP THE UNTAPPED. RELEASE THE RESERVOIR. Learn more at the Ransford Online School. Your life has the potential to fulfill your purpose. If, however, you imprison that potential, you rob your life of its purpose and fulfillment.  You and every other individual on this planet possess an awesome treasure. Too much of this treasure is buried every day, untapped and untouched, in the cemeteries of our world.  Much talent, skill and creativity have been lost to the world for want of a little courage. Many obscure men and women enter eternity pregnant with potential, with a still-born purpose. Living with ability brings responsibility. Dying with ability reveals irresponsibility. Everything in creation was designed to function on the simple principle of receiving and releasing. Life depends on this principle.  What if the plants refused to release the oxygen they possess or if we human beings refused to release the carbon dioxide we produce?  The result would be chaos...

Urgency : urgency creates tension and want. If Kettle is boiling, you won't fold your hands. Urgency creates desperate want. A man in coma creates want for Oxygen. The  Taliban takeover  created want for moving Afghans. 3. Status Roles : Every status possess some roles and expectations. A new student resuming in a campus must want books, tablets or mini Laptop, change in wears and others. A pregnant woman or a soon-to-be-mum wants baby care products. Local farmers in Africa want hoes ...
