"Covers the fundamental mechanics of Rayleigh and Love waves and their behavior within heterogeneous and anisotropic solid-state media."
Wave Physics and Propagation Theory
This week, we explore how sound waves act like flashlights in the dark, what mud tells us about the earth's history, and why heat makes sensors act strange.
